Eddie Murphy to return to 'Saturday Night Live' after 35 years.
Murphy first appeared on"SNL" in late 1980, before he was hired as a cast member, and soon became a staple with sardonic characters that included Gumby of"The Gumby Show" fame, Buckwheat of the"Little Rascals" and Mr. Robinson of"Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood," a spoof of"Mister Rogers' Neighborhood."
It was only a few years later that Murphy was making hit movies, including"Beverly Hills Cop" and"48 Hours." His later work as"Norbit" and"Nutty Professor II: The Klumps" also saw him producing top-grossing films. Although it remains unclear why Murphy didn't return sooner, as many other"SNL" successes have, it may not have helped that his tenure roughly coincided with the only period exacting producer Lorne Michaels wasn't working on the show he created.
Also, Murphy expressed displeasure with a joke former cast member David Spade made at his expense on"SNL" in 1995. Noting a pair of box-office flops for Murphy, Spade said,"Look children, it's a falling star!"in 2011."I’m one of you guys."after the show's producer, whom he had worked with on the movie"Tower Heist," was ousted for using a gay slur and making comments about women many found offensive."I want it to be right," he said.
Murphy, who produced and stars in the biopic"Dolemite Is My Name" streaming on Netflix, was joined by musical guest Lizzo, who was recently nominated for eight Grammy Awards.
