Hot News Alert:Eddie Murphy Returning To SNL!!!!!!!!!!!



Eddie Murphy Is Returning To ‘SNL’ For The First Time Since 1984

BY JOSH KURP

NBC


The last time Eddie Murphy stepped into Studio 8H as an SNL cast member was on February 25, 1984, when Edwin Newman hosted with Kool & the Gang as the musical guest. He was a sensation on the verge of superstardom, which he achieved with Beverly Hills Cop, Coming to America, andEddie Murphy Raw. In the past, Murphy has said that he hasn’t returned to the stage that made him famous because he was pissed — “They said some sh*tty things. There was that David Spade sketch. I made a stink about it, it became part of the folklore. What really irritated me about it at the time was that it was a career shot.” — but that’s seemed to pass, because he’s been confirmed to attend SNL‘s 40th anniversary special, which airs February 15th.

Murphy revealed the news during a phone interview with News One when asked about why he’s never returned to the show since leaving in 1984: “It’s just timing. It just never worked out where the timing was right for me to do it…They’re actually having a 40th anniversary I think in two weeks. I’m going to that, and that’ll be the first time I’ve been back since I left.” (Via)

My all time favorite comedian is BACK!!!!!

Eddie Murphy Says He'll Return to 'SNL' for 40th Anniversary Show

Eddie Murphy says he will revisit his comedic stomping grounds. On Feb. 15, Murphy will make his first appearance on Saturday Night Live for the first time in over 30 years for the show's 40th anniversary, the comedian said in an interview with NewsOne Now host Roland S. Martin.

Murphy explained his reasoning for not making it back onto the show sooner: "It’s just timing. It just never worked out where the timing was right for me to do it.”

“They’re actually having a 40th anniversary I think in two weeks,” Murphy said. “I’m going to that, and that’ll be the first time I’ve been back since I left.”

The funnyman was a series lead from 1980-1984 before breaking into daytime TV and eventually staring in numerous films including The Nutty Professor, Dr. Doolittle 2, Norbit and animated projects Mulan and Shrek, amongst others.

The actor further added: "I think when you come form the stage and you come from a show likeSaturday Night Live, I think you always have that feeling. It's nothing like connecting with a live audience. That feeling is the best there is."

SNL has won 45 Emmys in the 40 years on air and has been the launching pad of numerous careers, including Kristen Wiig, Tina Fey, Will Ferrell, Amy Poehler, Jimmy Fallon, Mike Meyers,Andy Samberg and many more.

The three-hour, 40th anniversary broadcast will air on Sunday, Feb. 15 on NBC from 8-11 p.m.

Neither. He will be one of many former cast members appearing
on an anniversary special.

Are all the former cast members just going to show up to be seen and nothing else? No old skits?

I doubt ALL former cast members will show up, just to many.
