Eddie is washed. I don't see him ever having a comedy stand up again and for good reason. It most likely wouldn't be funny.

I think family is the thing that changed him most. He said it himself...after he started having kids he wanted to clean up his act. You can see that in the types of movies he started doing.

Eddie doing another stand up would be dam near as big as Mayweather-Pacquiao.

I'mma go ahead and say too much p*ssy got him in the end. Some dudes in that spot can lean on countless broads, some ain't got the mental stroke to go along with the physical stroke.

That's why dude been making clown decisions with his career and his dikk... except "Life".




elaborate?

Dont think its all that bad tbh.


Dude has clearly winded down. It just gradually happened over the past few years. Despite what happened in his personal life, hes still set. Forever. The nikka has some goat worthy material. From SNl, the standups, and a handful of good flicks. When he goes, and we look back at his run, it will all be peachy nigs.

Exactly. He's just not as hungry as he used to be, so he's letting the young cats have it. At this point, he's fukking bad bytches and spending time with his family. He has a shyt load of money and doesn't have to shuck and jive for the cameras. I think he's in a good spot right now.

Dude just hasn't been the same since 1993, I remember him doing an interview that year and was asked by a reporter about his opinion of the first michael jackson molestation allegation, eddie just went off on the white reporter and almost whooped his ass.

That was the first time he was rocking the low caesar and then everything went downhill, he started getting weirder and weirder. I think something crazy happened to him that year and he never recovered, it seems like he's feeling guilty about something but he just can't speak about it to anyone.

Also the tranny situation/bisexual rumors made things worse, the old eddie isn't coming back. When whitney houston died and he was asked about his feelings about her, he acted like he didn't even know her at all, when we all know they dated back in the day.

I recorded the SNL 40th anniversary event expecting to see some form of skit or something from him and he disappointed, something is really off with this man, he's a very troubled soul. I hope he finds peace in his life.
agree. i've always felt something has been off about him the last 15 years. he showed some life with nutty professor but overall he seems very "soulless" off the screen.

Eddie Murphy's return to 'SNL' for first time in 30 years lasts 73 seconds
Fans are puzzled after the famed comedian comes and goes with no jokes or famous character reprisals

In one of the most highly-anticipated moments of "Saturday Night Live's" 40th anniversary special, Eddie Murphy returned to "SNL" for the first time since 1984.

And his first appearance on the show in 30 years lasted exactly 73 seconds.

After a touching, three-and-a-half-minute introduction from Chris Rock — who called Murphy his idol ("I wanted to be Eddie Murphy") and credited the "Beverly Hills Cop" and "Bowfinger" star with saving the NBC comedy show for future comedians like him (without Murphy, Tina Fey "would've been the funniest English professor at Drexel University") — Murphy, 53, took to the stage and received a standing ovation.

Welcome home, Eddie. Standing ovation for Mr. Murphy. #SNL40

To say Murphy's subsequent speech was awkwardly short would be an understatement.

"Hey, isn’t this an incredible night, this night?" Murphy said. "This show is such a big part of who I am and my life. And I’m so happy to be back here. It’s a magical feeling. Actually it feels like going back to my old high school, kind of. It’s a good feeling. I’m really happy that so many people here value the stuff that I did 35 years ago. It makes me feel really happy. I will always love this show and .. let’s have some more show. Let’s have a big round of applause for everybody.”

When the monitors failed to segue to commercial or another montage, Murphy froze.

“I thought that right there you guys were gonna do the ... Well, then let’s do it again," he said. "You know, this has been a helluva night. A real magical evening. You’re always going to be a part of my life.”

Eventually, the producers panned to a photo of dikk Ebersol, "SNL's" former executive producer.

Twitter users hoping for jokes or reprisals of Murphy's iconic "SNL" characters -- like Buckwheat, Mr. Robinson or Gumby -- were none-too-keen on Murphy's far-too-brief, and unfunny, return.

I don’t understand. They brought out Eddie Murphy to accept applause and then go away? I want that job. #SNL40

Is Eddie Murphy unable to be funny? I don't understand why he did what he did tonight, which was nothing.

So...Eddie Murphy. Unwilling or unable?

Going from Chris Rock's intro for Eddie Murphy to the actual Eddie Murphy we got there was like going from cocaine to heavy sedatives

How do you have Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock make a dual appearance on SNL and not end up with the greatest moment in comedy history?

How does Miley get more stage time than Eddie Murphy? #SNL40

Murphy last appeared on the show Dec. 15, 1984 as host. He notably skipped the "SNL" 25th anniversary and show creator Lorne Michaels has publicly acknowledged some bad blood with Murphy after he approved a sketch in the 1990s that poked fun at one of the comedian's box office bombs.

In an April 2013 panel talk moderated by former "SNL" castmember Martin Short, Michaels called his decision to air the sketch starring David Spade, “a mistake,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

“I figured it was kind of a clean hit. I didn’t really think about it, but Eddie did,” he said, recounting that Murphy called Spade after the skit saying, “You’re standing on my shoulders, you didn’t get to be there unless I was there.”

On Sunday night's show, all three men were there and the decades-old jab seemed forgotten.

As for Murphy's missing humor, all we can say is maybe he was saving his humor for the after-party.
