Eddie Murphy was hurt that SNL allowed a joke at his expense in 1995.
Eddie Murphy has been one of the biggest stars in Hollywood for decades with many beloved films under his belt such as Beverly Hills Cops, Coming To America, and Shrek. Murphy's rise to stardom began when he became a Saturday Night Live cast member in 1980. The comedian was a regular on the show for four years and played some iconic characters along the way, but it wasn't all smooth sailing. Murphy is currently busy promoting Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, which hits Netflix next week.
In a"Hollywood Minute" sketch in 1995, Spade showed a photo of Murphy before saying,"Look, children, it's a falling star. Make a wish." "I know that he can't just say that – a joke has to go through these channels – so the producers thought it was okay to say that," Murphy explained."All the people that have been on that show, you've never heard nobody make no joke about anybody's career. Most people that get off that show, they don't go on and have these amazing careers. It was personal."
