Eddie & his wifey Paigne in Beverly Hills on Nov 13.

So I guess he did cancel his engagement to his 12 year old girlfriend tv hostess Rocsi Diaz. Dang, that was just a couple moths ago the wedding bells were ringing for those two. Between that and the Tracey Edmond wedding fiasco, Eddie's got his runaway groom thing going on these days, getting to the altar about every 11 months on average

Is it wrong of me to wish he would have stayed with Tracey in the hopes of his body of work improving from what it's been in the last years ?

^ Nah it would've been a wonder what Tracey would've done with him... I think old Ed's going through a mid-life crisis.

That was a great show. (edited 2 death though)

Observations:

1. Eddie is still underrated in my view

2. Major influence 2 todays comedians

3. The same folks that were around back in the day............are still around Eddie.

4. Where was Paul Moonie and Robert Townsend?

5. His woman is quite FINE.

I wondered where Robert was too. Martin made a joke about him and Rock and Arsenio hada ()come on man) look on their faces. You think they had a falling out? Keenen and him are still real cool. Mooney, I bet Spike TV was afrad of him and I assume he would have talked bad about half the people who were their like Brand, and Eddie new girl.

That was one of my thoughts that maybe Ed and Robert had a falling out but who knows?

So I finally watched this last night....IMO the best parts were:

1) Hands down, when Eddie got on stage with Stevie Wonder. Hilarious!!!! And Stevie has never sounded better by the way. That man is a living legend.

2) Arsenio Hall. He's such a great speaker and he had me dying laughing as well. Loved when he challenged Eddie to get on stage and do some standup. It was disappointing that Eddie declined, but not surprising. It really would had been something to see them two tap dance. At one point, I thought Arsenio was going to break out into that preacher role from "Coming to America".

3) Chris Rock. What can I say? The man is hilarious.

4) Brett Radner. Putting on the headphones and singing "Party All Time".... Hil-fucking-larious!!!! All that was missing was Rick James.

5) Martin Lawrence. I have to admit, it was really great seeing him. He looks like he's healthy and doing good, so kudos to him for showing up and giving gratitude.

6) Samuel L. Jackson. "Motherfucker!!!!"

7) Charlie Murphy. It was great seeing him as well. I see that they edited his speech too.

8) Keenan Ivory Wayans. I think they heavily edited his speech, but what he said was nice nonetheless. Wish he would had made me laugh a bit more...like I knew he could have...but then again, it wasn't about me. Man looks flawless though and hasn't aged a bit.

Cons:

1) As folks have already mentioned on here, umm what was the point of Russell Brand even being let on stage?

2) Tyler Perry. What he said was nice but again, wtf? I think I would have expected Wayne Brady to had been invited on stage before both Brand and Perry. Just sayin'.

Other than that, it was a pretty good tribute show.

New York, NY – November 2012 – Spike TV’s premiere of “Eddie Murphy: One Night Only” on November 14 (10:00 pm-12:00 am ET/PT) was the highest-rated and most-watched special event in channel history. The first-ever televised tribute to the comedic legend delivered 1.9 million viewers, 1.5 household rating and ranked #3 in all of cable television with Men 18-49 in its timeslot.

“Eddie Murphy is a modern icon and one of the greatest comedic storytellers of all time from stand-up, to sketch, to feature films, to animation,” said Casey Patterson, Executive Vice President, Event Production, Talent Development & Studio Relations – Viacom Entertainment Group. “He’s the king of it all and we’re thrilled his fans turned out in such a big and meaningful way for this incredible show.”

The star-studded event featured appearances by includes Chris Rock, Jamie Foxx, Adam Sandler, Tyler Perry, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Russell Brand, Samuel L. Jackson, Tracy Morgan, Brett Ratner, and Jeffrey Katzenberg. The night was punctuated with an unforgettable impromptu on-stage duet featuring Eddie and Stevie Wonder.

“‘Eddie Murphy: One Night Only’ marks Spike TV’s first foray into new broader specials for the network,” added Patterson.

The special event was also a hit on the social media front as #Eddieonspike was the #2 trending topic worldwide on Twitter and “Eddie Murphy: One Night Only” took the #4 spot among cable networks in mentions for the day. Also of note, a re-air of the show drew 1 million viewers from 12:00-2:00am ET/PT.

Don Mischer, Patterson, Charlie Haykel, and Vernon Lynch served as Executive Producers for “Eddie Murphy: One Night Only” with Juliane Hare as Producer.

“Eddie Murphy: One Night Only” paid homage to Murphy’s journey from a 15-year-old aspiring comedian, to the record-breaking “Raw,” which remains the highest grossing stand-up film of all time, to his indelible characters and impressions from “Saturday Night Live” including Buckwheat, Gumby, Mr. Robinson and James Brown. The special marked 30 years since the release of the groundbreaking stand-up concert film “Delirious,” and the classic film “48 Hrs.,” which featured the breakout performances that made him one of the biggest superstars in the world.

Why are you rolling your eyes?

It's a fair enough question.

You keep mentioning that you were actually there (which was understood the first time you said it), so I thought why not ask the obvious? How did you get in?

Did u notice how all of the brothers suits were tailored? See how they "fit"?

That is how grown men should were their clothes....not this tight 2 sizes 2 small nonsense going around like that Denzel G.Q. cover last month.

You mean this suit?

Any suit fitting bigger than this looks really tacky and outdated. Too many men wear suits that look like it should be on their much bigger dad.

I love that suit!

The suit is nice...the cut is NOT. As I stated before, check out the cut of the comedians on the show. That is how u cut a suit. Not this tight size 2 small nonsense.
