Eddie Murphy on Getting Snowed in at Rick James’ House, Michael Jackson Impersonation & You People

Eddie talks about the earthquake we had in LA, receiving the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes, sending texts back and forth with Tracy Morgan quoting Planet of the Apes, the reason he turned down a Star Trek movie, watching Cocoon at Sammy Davis Jr’s house, his friendship with Michael Jackson, meeting Bubbles, making a documentary about his life, getting snowed in Rick James’ house for two weeks, his new movie You People with Jonah Hill, being on SNL in 1982, Robert Blake getting banned from show, his entourage, the most naturally funny person he has ever met, buying the original painting from Good Times, shooting Beverly Hills Cop 4, and never going to his good friend Arsenio Hall’s house.

Eddie never changes. And his smile is completely contagious. Humor radiates from him like rays from the sun. You just know he’s going to make you laugh.

Love how he gives you just enough of a story but not too much detail to protect his friends and leave you wondering what else went down in his stories. I think he saves the details for those only close to them.

I love how Eddie keeps his composure, calm, cool, collected, and chill!

I am 72 years old, and I have to tell you…I love Eddie Murphy! He is so funny, handsome, and a such a talented man. ♥️

Eddie Murphy is so cool. I love the way he tells the stories in a funny and respectful way and doesn't feed into the perception that others might try to paint

He's so quiet for someone with such a huge personality, and it still breaks my heart every time I hear him talk about his brother.

This man turns 62 this April. While he has been in entertainment long enough to justify that age, he does not look it, or is it just me.

[CulturalBackgroundsStudyBible]

This man exudes debonair. His aura is full of poise & elegance. The way he honored the great prince of funk Rick James was endearing. He's a straight walking memoir, with all of his recall. Jimmy did an amazing job getting him to open up.

Props to Eddie for clarifying his skits on Michael, too many people are afraid to even utter a positive word towards him. Respect man!🙏

[Mrlulu]

My number one favorite comedian. The fact that he's so down to earth and isn't a mean spirited person adds to his greatness

Eddie is a legend, he’s gonna be 62 going on 40. Dude doesn’t age.

[denisnobert]

Eddie is so cool. Sits there like he doesn't have a worry in world. One of the greats. Nice to see Jimmy so enthralled by him, like he's in the presence of royalty. He's totally thrilled to have him as a guest.

[WakandaBabe]

Eddie Murphy is so chill. He just lives his life. Don't see him or his family in the tabloids. Keeps his life to himself. Smart and talented.
