    Eddie Murphy is a National Treasure. One of my favorite Americans ever! I wish him great health and more success.
  • As an Eddie Murphy fan, I took his talent for granted and his influence on black culture... Chris Rock, Chappelle, Kevin Hart, Key and Peele, and more people that I can't think of now. I took Eddie's talent for granted. I don't anymore.

    Eddie is awesome. Huge fan and have been since I was a kid. Grew up loving his talents. I saw Trading Places when I was 10 years old summer 1984. First movie of his I saw in theaters was Beverly Hills Cop and I was a couple months from turning 11 years old. It changed my life and I have been a fan ever since. He’s the G.O.A.T

    1) If you're not a pre-1980 baby, you'll never understand the REAL TIME experience of 2 Black American males (Michael Jackson and Eddie Murphy)...dominating pop culture. ESPECIALLY 1984--1988. My Mom pulled my brothers and I from school (in East Harlem/Spanish Harlem)....to see Beverly Hills Cop on a Friday afternoon. It was a nice, balmy day...in Spring. 1984. We saw it in the 86th Street theater and it was packed. We were all laughing our azzes off !! Eddie was right. He wasn't a side character. He wasn't just comic relief. We was an action star and proud (sometimes arrogant), Black male. He opened many doors and opportunities, for the Black male actors who followed him. The audience was ethnically-mixed. Michael Jackson and Eddie Murphy. 1984--1988. You had to be there. 2) MUST these Euro-American reporters constantly inject their political biases; to provoke Black Americans!!? Y'all constantly try to manipulate our emotions (after you take a break from fetishizing us)....and it's ANNOYING to experience....or, hear. Trump? Come on🙄

    'I was funny from the start' and that bus story are brilliant.

    I definitely agree with Eddie when he says there’s no such thing as a flop. Because every single movie or anything he’s ever done or been apart of, someone out there enjoys it for whatever reason. Regardless of how popular a thing is, anything that he’s done in his career resonates with people. Like for me, even tho Beverly Hills Cop 3 is not the most loved out of the 3, I really love that movie. BHC3 was the first movie I’ve seen out of the 3. I definitely think 1 and 2 are better but 3 holds a special place in my heart because I grew up watching that movie. I wasn’t alive when 1 and 2 came out but I was a kid in the 90’s and BHC3 came out in 94.
  • Such a great interview! I won't forget how magical it was what Eddie did in Nutty Professor. I just couldn't believe that one person could play all those roles as a kid.

    As an asian american dude i appreciate mr murphy's appreciation for bruce lee.
  • @mizztery2994
    It's a tragedy that Eddie was never a guest on his buddy Gilbert Gottfried's podcast!
  • This is one of the GREATEST INTERVIEWS I have ever encountered. The questions were PHENOMENAL. And Eddie's answers... EDDIE MURPHY I "NEVER" saw as "GENIOUS." Until now, Eddie Murphy is a fu** GENIOUS. Its probably why the movie LIFE is the GREATEST movie I have ever seen
