The James Brown hot tub sketch was definitely among the very best sketches of all time on SNL. Loved the story of James telling Eddie to bury his money, definitely could see him saying that.
I was an NBC Page on the set of studio 8H when the James Brown Hot Tub Sketch was pre-taped. Eddie was just on his way to movie stardom and was so great to just be around.
Being duped for so many decades in show business, Mr James Brown and most other artists of his generation (Lee Dorsay, Ruthie Brown, Chuck Berry, etc) had plenty of reasons to be suspicious, to say the least!
Buckwheat getting shot and Gumby as an old Jewish man-absolute comedic genius. And then Mr. Rogers in da hood..... What an era. So grateful to have been a highschooler back then. And then while in college, i went to a NYC club called Mars-still one of the greatest nightclubs in Gotham history-and i'm upstairs and see Dolph Lundgren. As i turn around to tell my friend, i'm face-to-face with Eddie Murphy. Big moment for me at like 19 or 20.
@@mkilptrick I love how somebody he worked with at SNL, can't remember who it was, offered him some drugs of some kind. He had just started on SNL and doing movies and he didn't want to mess that up. Said he loved his friends that had OD'd and died because of the drugs they took....he had no desire to join them. And he didn't.
Where is the Eddie Murphy statue? I don’t think we give this man the much praise and flowers that he needs and he deserves for all the laughs all the laughs that he’s given us all the years he’s given us back all the movies that we watch over and over again and never get tired of and them to add to this anomaly, he looks the same. The man doesn’t age. He also does things for the community without the cameras that nobody ever sees. I’ve heard a few stories from just random people about how he did amazing things for them just little things to make them feel important…no cameras, no accolades he’s beautiful.
He’s an anomaly. You don’t look that much older than the entire cast on the show and they are all people who’ve watched him when they were little kids.
@@stanleymasterson1135 just watched him in the new Beverly Hills Cop, he looks the same just a little bit puffier but the same. Barely any wrinkle, same energy. He biologically ages very slow. He looks 15-20 years younger than he is.
❤EM....He's a unicorn... been famous for 2/3rds of his life... Unlike many ultra famous...no drug addictions or scandals... Clearly takes good care of himself...Longevity is part of his greatness.🙌🏾
Just watching one your movies now on Dstv, "Coming to America" wow, very many years ago and you still this young, it feels good to see you in great condition sir, I love you Eddy Murphy
I wore that red leather suit. NOT KIDDING! I worked at the store he bought it from in Milford, CT. I was the manager of the Men's department. I would have bought it about 2 hours later since I put it together as a set. It was in a closet, not out on the shelf. The store was called WILD BILLS! I still have the bag it came in till today!
Years ago when we had cable and RAW first came out, my mother and I stayed up one night to watch the show. We HOLLERED throughout the entire show!! Thank you, Eddie Murphy, for a TERRIFIC comedy show!! 👏🏽😂
My all time favorite comedian. “Wookin for wuv in all da wrong paces, wookin for wuv” 🤣 My god sister was really good friends with his oldest daughters, they were debutantes. 👀 😂
Unless you were around during Eddie Murphy's stand up career you'll never know just how truly AMAZING and BIG he was. His stand up specials were MUST SEE. I venture to say that not even Chappelle (my all time favorite) had to buzz and excitement of Eddie.
I really enjoyed watching this interview with Eddie he is handsome I love his casual dress outfit his calmness his genuinity his honesty.. I think he has a beautiful girlfriend too.. I think he just got married recently.. God bless him and his family.
I remember that being one of the BEST SNL ep's EVER! I once did Eddie doing James Brown in my Trig class Junior year, High School. Boy, did I score some MAJOR cool points that day!
I really love this man since then and my daughter loves him being Mr. Robinson always crack her up😂😂😂 I thought he soo great in everything! A legend it is❤❤❤❤❤
mr. fallon, i have a super audience engaging skit/challenge/talent/heart warming segment for your show. my son dexter , 17 years of age, mildly autistic is an amazingly phenomenal drummer and gifted musician. he's never had any real drum lessons... he has been playing expert on guitar hero since the age of four. last year he went to a local music store to play drums for one hour a week (the teacher said i dont know what i can teach him...he shows me things...he played on his first real drum set at the age of 10 and the teacher whom is a professional drummer, has been in the industry for over 20 years, started crying and got goose bumps after she heard him play...he had like 4 lessons with her and then we had to stop lessons due to family matters.) he did not play on drums again until last year and his innate ability still shines brightly. i call him blue note. at any rate i think a segment of the tonight show where talib plays a drum solo, and then my son immulates it...would be awesome and awe inspiring. we live in san diego california. i looking for a means to develop his musical ability and put him in touch and /or expose his talents so that he may have some guidance, direction, socialization which will enhance his life for life. he's a wonderful kid. as the parent of an autistic kid i dont always know the things that will bring him joy and capture his interest, but i do know that music is in his heart. also, he was playing the drum set i just bought him this past july... he was playing a led zeplin song and then half way through, he got up and sat at the portable piano we have and continued playing the song there. he amazes not only me, but every one who hears him play. i think the drum challenge will be fun, inspiring and life changing for my son, extremely engaging for your audience and prideful for you and talib as you both grant him some memorable moments in life.
I'd LOVE to meet Eddie!! I've been a huge fan of him my whole life. He's also the EXACT same age as my mom. They were born on the same day same YEAR! I LOVE that the medley had some awesome cuts from Coming To America in it!
6:33 "Holy Man" It wasn't that Bad? great supporting cast! Jeff Goldblum. The late Great! Robert Loggia! /Betty White! /The Great James Brown? Lots of funny moments! "Oh, please for the Love of God! let her go man!" Huge electrocuting Smile"🤣
"He told me to bury my money in the woods" Fam I'm howling at how unprepared I was for that, can't even imagine Eddie's internal reaction to hearing such a sentence lmao
I cant believe my mom let me warch Raw and Delirious at 10 yrs old! She wouldnt even let me warch Charlies Angels cuz the chicks were braless! But Eddie was a big part of our childhood! 😂😂😂❤❤❤

I was floored I had to scroll this far to find the first mention of this! Thank you. That shit was some deep cuts. Watched it so many times
He definitely doesn't get enough credit for his scholarship.

i want you baby song is superb
Now I gotta see it! 👍
Buckwheat and James Brown Hot Tub are the funniest things I have EVER heard and seen. No one is as funny as Eddie Murphy was.
This man turned a joke into a series with hope, despair, loss and hype. He deserves every bit of recognition he has and even beyond that
What series? I didn’t watch the whole interview
And he has 10 kids from various women. I think he married one of the moms.
@@goldheart320 Wasn't Scary Spice one of them?
Eddie Murphy?
It's nice to recall conversations from over 10 years ago. Thanks Jimmy.
Thank you! I was wondering if my eyes were deceiving me. Edddie looks young af in this interview.

How come we haven't seen this interview all these years? This is gold!

Surprising good in the drama,
Mr. Church. Highly recommend watching.
man Eddie just doesnt age.. Comedy from him is still timeless..
Love Eddie Murphy! His movie "Mr. Church" is a favorite!❤
This movie has me in tears every time. Eddie proved himself to be a wonderful drama actor in it. Fantastic job! Love him! 💜💜💜
Agreed!
Looovveee Mr. Church!!!
Eddie Murphy tells the best stories! My fav is when Charlie Murphy told him to do the Gong Show!!! Look it up yall!!
Absolutely
Eddie Murphy is so talented ❤
Eddie needs to write a memoir. This guy is loaded with the best stories!
❤EM....He's a unicorn... been famous for 2/3rds of his life... Unlike many ultra famous...no drug addictions or scandals... Clearly takes good care of himself...Longevity is part of his greatness.🙌🏾
Raw and Delirious are still two of the best standup specials ever. Goddamn legend
College needs to have a comedy course and use those 2 as study guides lol
I wish there was a button for 100 "likes", those stand up specials were defining of comedy in the period.
Keenan Ivory Wayans wrote most of the material
My Dad & brother let me watch those & Richard Pryor at like 7 yrs old & my sense of humor was developed by Murphy & Pryor bc of it❤❤❤
Delirious yes...Raw less so
The james brown noises as he uses the shovel was a funny bit for Jimmy 🤣
I remember this eps.
Still refreshing to see Eddy Work The Room.
Love how there were both so relaxed !!!
Love how he has recaptured his youth. He looks and sounds as wonderful as always. Timeless 🫶
This was recorded in 2011

No matter how many bad movies he does, I still love him.

Still lots of love for Eddie Murphy in 2024🎉
Bury the money in the woods. That's real oldschool thinking man. Love it.

Showed up looking like young Axl Foley! I thought this was 1989
I hand to God can not say hot tub without either doing the bit or saying the way he says it as James. Seriously for well of 35 yrs

2) Keenan Ivory isn’t celebrated enough.
"Cause I'm hip, I'm slick, and all the women love my cologne. Play Superfreak on four; 1 2 3 4"💯
The entire Wayans family is an American treasure.
I would fall asleep as a teenager listening to Eddies Stand up on tape. I knew it all by heart!😂
Eddie Murphy is ssssssooooooo beautiful. Looking at him has literally brought me to tears
Shook his hand at a Club in LA: He is Beautiful 🎉
