Eddie Murphy | 2015 Mark Twain Prize Acceptance Speech

Eddie Murphy accepts the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor in 2015.

The Kennedy Center's Mark Twain Prize for American Humor recognizes individuals who have had an impact on American society in ways similar to the distinguished 19th-century novelist and essayist Samuel Clemens, colloquially known as Mark Twain. As a social commentator, satirist, and creator of characters, Clemens was a fearless observer of society who delighted and informed onlookers with his uncompromising perspective on social injustice and personal folly.

Eddie just casually reminding people that he was an elite standup guy for a decade.

Twain writes from the beyond to this moment. Carlin his neighbor.

Still trying to figure out how Whoopi Goldberg was awarded the Twain.🤔

It took me a min to realize he is Thanos.
Thought he sounded familiar then he smiled I saw “I am inevitable”

I’m overweight. Had covid 3 times.
The first time was 2 months before the lockdown. I didn’t know it was covid until after. It was a bad cough.

The second time I had covid I lost my voice. That was my only symptom.

The third time I had no idea. I couldn’t taste anything so I took a test and it was positive.
Felt fine.

❤❤🤎🖤💛🤍💜💖😂 Pluto Nash or Eddie Murphy himself, but I want to know if he flew in with leafy bug enabled jet. Maybe a Bond invisible car.
