    Eddie Murphy Reflects on Past “SNL” Joke That Struck a Nerve

    Racism headlines all across the entertainment world. It’s enough to make you sick watching the same tired old headlines faked everywhere. At least this is how I feel about it all. And I do love Eddie Murphy.

    Eddie Murphy recently shared his feelings on a past incident involving a joke made by David Spade on “Saturday Night Live” that he found hurtful and offensive. During a podcast interview with The New York Times, Murphy, at 63, recounted an experience from a 1995 “SNL” episode where Spade made a disparaging remark about Murphy’s then-failing movie, “Vampire in Brooklyn.” Spade’s comment, “Look children, it’s a falling star, make a wish,” referencing Murphy, was perceived by Murphy as a personal attack and racially insensitive.

    Exactly how was it racist? This is bs

    Murphy expressed his disappointment, noting that such jokes were not only a low blow from a fellow “SNL” alum but also approved by show producers, which added to the sting. The incident led Murphy to distance himself from the show for many years, returning only for brief appearances, including the show’s 40th anniversary and a hosting stint in December 2019.

    Despite the initial fallout, Murphy revealed that he has since reconciled with both Spade and “SNL” creator Lorne Michaels, emphasizing that he harbors no ill feelings and values the relationships he has rebuilt with them.

    David Spade, in his 2015 memoir “Almost Interesting,” reflected on the incident, acknowledging the impact his words had on Murphy and expressing regret over the situation. Spade described a tense phone call with Murphy post-episode, where Murphy expressed his anger and disappointment vividly.

    Key Points:

    i. Eddie Murphy discussed a past incident on “Saturday Night Live” where a joke by David Spade about Murphy’s career felt personal and racially insensitive.

    ii. The joke referred to Murphy as a “falling star” during a period when Murphy’s film “Vampire in Brooklyn” had underperformed.

    iii. Murphy expressed that the joke had been particularly hurtful because it came from within the “SNL” family, a show he credited with helping to launch his career.

    iv. After years of distancing himself from the show, Murphy has reconciled with Spade and “SNL” creator Lorne Michaels, indicating that all past grievances have been resolved.

    v. David Spade, in his memoir, admitted to misunderstanding the impact of his words at the time but has since come to appreciate Murphy’s perspective on the matter.
