Eddie is a more convincing James Brown than James Brown.
Ain't nobody more James Brown than James Brown. Respect the Godfather.
Only Mr Murphy can get away with this; he also showed real respect for Mr Brown , Foxx, & Pryor.
Stolen comment
That unnecessary sweat! LMAO
@@alaza61 funk yea ☮️
This skit was actually from Eddie's last show as a cast member.
He went out a with bang if that's the case
Wow !!!....What A Way To Go !!!.....
I had this episode on tape years back. He did a lot of sketches that night and one of them was the Jesse Jackson song, "Hymie-Town". And yes, that was his last LIVE episode. They didn't make a big announcement of his leaving like they do now. He still appeared throughout the season via pre-recorded sketches as they kept it hush-hush out of fear of losing viewers.
Edwin,great job for not breaking character 🤣
That was hard to do tho
He's not actually speaking freely.😜
How he keep straight face all the time. He's the legend
Eddie or the white guy?
@@vika0194 WE KNOW WHAT A COMIC GENIUS EDDIE MURPHY IS AND WE ALL LOVE HIM. EDWIN NEWMAN IS A WORLD CLASS JOURNALIST AND HE KILLED AS THE STRAIGHT MAN FOR EDDIE,
Paul Rodberg OKAY
@@paulrodberg Very Underated As A Straight Man !!......His Timing Was Perfect !!!....
Remember when the journalist asked James what got him into trouble and he started singing living in America, I felt that
Eye saw that. Saw that interview. It was shocking to say the least. Hard to get a straight answer outta him: "PLEASE❗- Please. Papa's gotta BRAND NEW Bag. Hush that FUSS❗. I ain't got no dust
He seem High.
Exactly what I was thinking; this definitely foreshadowed that interview
I’m the same age as Eddie and I truly remember how bad SNL was right before he joined the cast, they are not joking when they say Eddie single handedly saved this show, I was pretty much done with it. I was on board from the very first season of SNL and having to fill the shoes of folks like Chase, Belushi, Akroyd, and Murray seemed almost like an impossible task. Thanks to Eddie for keeping the show alive, he was the real hard act to follow.
,
"They" are full of Shit, in case i do not remember.
"everybody thought they were joking when they said they were going to hire eddie murphy for SNL. nobody's laughing now!" - pope john paul ii, 1984
U r so right, man.... He definitely came in full_throttle, in a good way, and more or less stayed that way during that critical time
"PAPA'S GOT A BRAND NEW BAG!!! HA-HA!!!!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Reportedly, James Brown thought Eddie Murphy's impression was hilarious.
Of course he knew our brother is in the funk club ☮️
@@michaeldennistooley4271 To be honest James didn't like it. he said did at times.
to go along to get along.

@@Clyde177 possibly nonetheless may you have a funky Year my brother
How anyone can keep a straight face during one of these skits is a human feat on its own!
Watching these old clips of Eddie Murphy. Wow. Just proves he really was the best cast member of SNL. Every cast member after him, should be thanking him for saving the show. But that's a side note. These old clips are timeless. A comic genius.
Eddie Murphy impression of James brown was awesome and hilarious.

Must be accurate, because i approached a famous singer and got closer to take a picture........i could hear him singing and humming a melodic phrase
Eddies James Brown is hilarious. He carried SNL when he was on it . Which is cool because there plenty of these old vintage Eddie Murphy SNL skits . He killed it last week hosting . Mr Robinsons neighborhood 2019 was awesome
Eddie was beyond funny eh :) I still think his Mr. T impersonation from Delirious is one of the funniest jokes any comedian ever did.
That class of SNL IS THE BEST
40 years after, it's still funny 😅
"Papa's got a brand new bag!" Ha! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Loved every skit since the eighties of Eddie from NYC to FL, this comedian added more laughter in me and my husband's life. Thank you Eddie!🏖️🎉🤣🌻😄🎈🎊🎉🏅🏆
This Skit was Hillarious! Eddie ALWAYS hit James Brown impersonations right on the button! 🤣🤣
Eddie was right. You can't never hear what James Brown's saying. LOL
XD XD XD
HILARIOUS!! Eddie is so uncommonly gifted with unique comedic brilliance.
And he has barely aged 10 years since this genius skit.
First time I've saw this. Crying with laughter. Never realised Eddie Murphy did impressions. Brilliant!
That's how he started. His first standup was impressions at 15.
Eddy actually got a pretty good singing voice
kalomo2 Check out his song "Party All The Time". It was a pretty big hit back then. 😉
Have you put a Yule Log, in your Butt, Lately?
This video reminds me of that James Brown stoned interview at the CNN!
Colorado Man stoned lol mate he was off that white
Colorado Man Bro I think it’s a parody of that interview 🤣
@@nolanld That interview was 1988, This was '84
Murphy has created so many extraordinary characters, this is classic gold 😊
What's crazy is that this skit was made several year's before James Brown's notorious stoned interview.
84 vs 88 - incredible foreshadowing!
This still cracks me up years later XD
Even the copious sweating is spot on!
It's a man's world ha ha ha. Agggh!! Heyyy!!
Lmao his responses are all song titles
I Just Love The Way The Interviewer Continues To Flow With James Brown In Spite of His Repeated Outlandish Soulful Out-Burst !!!!!.....Mr. Brown's Responses Had Nothing Whatsoever To Do With The Questions Being Asked !!!....This Was Absolutely Hilarious !!!!!......
How did Edwin Newman keep a straight face. He was equally as great as Eddie was in this skit.
Eddie Murphy is the greatest EVER! Amazing how young he was with all that talent - and he still has it!
This skit had me dying 🤣😂😭
I was wondering the same thing
Check him out closely. He's almost losing his composure. 😜
1:20
Oh ho ho ho! 😃😂 Edwin has me laughing more than Eddie lately.
I can't imagine any reason to say this was not a worldclass Performance. True Genius.
What a hilarious scene. Eddie nails Jim Brown. How does Edwin keep from cracking up?
Nobody ever called jim "Jim Brown".
Jim Brown is a retired football player 🏈
Ohh how can they not just bust out laughing there no way I couldn't I be crying from laughing too hard😂😂
I wonder how the other guy can keep so straight...
1:18 I'm dying...
"No more so what?! It's a man's world! Call me super bad! I got you! Feel good! OW!! HEY!! Listen here! Yeeeeeeeeh!! Ha ha ha ha..........HA!!!" 2022 and still crying from laughter!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Watch James brown stoned interview.... He was actually like this
+Tristan Humphreys they got this from that interview
+Tristan Humphreys they got this from that interview
I thought this pre dated that?
getuppoffathatthing! Heeeey!
Tristypooz O&A well yeh the one on Coke was 88 this was 84 but yeah he high most the time
I saw this the first time on TV, and I couldn't stop laughing.
professional edwin nrwman trying SOOOO HARD..not laugh...beautiful
He wrote dat shit.
Incredible they predicted his interview that happened in 1988
Look at how young eddie murphy is. I remember watching him everyweekend and talking about it in school the next week. I loved when he was buckwheat. Or gumby. Lol
What a talent Eddie is!
Him, Steve Martin, Dan Akroyd just a different class of comedy.
How dude kept a straight face while eddie did his thing is beyond me 😂😂😂
CAUTION: do not watch this if you recently had minor stomach surgery! Damn
How in the hell can this guy sit up there with a straight face the whole time lol
That's just him.
The way he was smiling and bouncing his head and feet, he was definitely channeling his brother Charlie while talking like James. Great skit!
He channeling his brother? Dude Eddie didn’t have to “channel” Charlie... Eddie Murphy is comedy GOLD, long before Charlie got out of the Navy.
I still remember and miss this one. I was 13 years old when this had come out. It is still funny as hell after all of these years. #myfellowariesstillgotit.
“..’Cuz I got to, got to, got to, ……. Hah.!.”
Oh my gosh! I haven't seen this for so long, and I'm laughing like crazy!
laughin' my ASS off! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Solid GOLD level comedy 🏆
How prophetic was this bit?! James Brown went on to do a real interview that was somehow LESS cohesive than Eddie Murphy!😅
Wish someone would post that one with Stevie Wonder "Cottonland" hilarious 😂
This is one of these videos that I frequently watch for the sheer pleasure of it.
Legendary.
This man is such a comedic genius that as soon as I see his face I start laughing uncontrollably. He didn't even have to start talking yet!!
This is so timeless!
PURE BRILLIANCE!!!
Can't stop laughing absolutely brilliant
I love the way his foot is going to his own soundtrack!
Plea plea plea plea I wan so bad give it up I'll turn and lose iiiiaaaaaaaaaa Hahahahaha
🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
As soon as Eddie gives that big smile i start cracking up😉
I’ve been looking for this skit forever!!!
😂😂😂
he can literally do any impression of anybody!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
(such talent!)
Too funny but James Brown really did an interview like this lol
About 5 years later
I don’t know HOW that guy kept a straight face. He’s pretty good, too.
So good! This never fails to make me laugh.
classic impression
I would have loved to have heard what James brown himself thought of this . James was a leg he may have done a lot of bad things in his life but the one thing he didn't do wrong was his music . Nothing matters when u hear James sing also what's his personal life got do with us it's not our business . James was an excellent performer and always will be R.I.P James u magnificent man xxxx
lisa Wood and socks skip to 2:50 ruclips.net/video/YnzPa9CNZlE/видео.html
to be honest James Didn't really like it......He said he did at times, but he really didn't like it. MOST People that didn't like James Love Eddie's impersonation. D

He didn't really like it.
James Brown actually talked like that. We may laugh but Eddie’s impression is entirely accurate. 😂

@@Clyde177 I think the Godfather sadly did that to himself.
@@Clyde177 If anything tarnished James Brown it was probably his drug dealer!
I’d argue that his impression brought James back into the spotlight. After all, he wasn’t doing much in Hollywood until Eddie did this bit.
James Didn't like it.
"Looky-hea, HAH!"
Thumbs up f0r making a straight face newman hahaha
Years ago, these Eddie Murphy skits couldn't be found anywhere on RUclips, and now they're all over the place. It's about time. It's not like re-runs were shown throughout the years, so a lot of younger people haven't even seen this stuff.
This interviewer is a great actor. He should win an award for such skill. I would be laughing just seeing Mr. Murphy's facial expression.
Little Joe Edwin Newman Was an actual NBC news correspondent/ anchor
bigfinewomanful : I think I’ve seen him on the news in the past. I just think that he’s either a great actor, or perhaps he just doesn’t see the humor in Mr. Murphy.
Fantastic. I really enjoy these old SNL sketches.
"You should do my life story...." - James Brown to Eddie Murphy
Has anyone seen the James Brown parody of this?
Hahaha!
Brown was pure 'Method' acting when did his impersination of this...
Toby Richmond more meth hahaaha iiiiieeeeeew
Hahaha XD
How this man kept a straight face is beyond me lol
How does the reporter keeps himself from not laughing.. I would’ve shitted myself 😂😂😂
this is even crazy funnier than the Hot Tub skit... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant.murphy is a genius
like this performance very much!
What James Brown was to Eddie in these skits, is like Rick James for Dave.
"Rub a Dub in the Hot Tub!"
Eddie Murphy!!!! 😂🤣🤣
1:30 to 1:40 is the funniest part
Best laugh.!!🎉🎉🎊🙋❣️🍾💕🍻
I got ta got ta got ta…Ha! Best part 😆
OMG .. he really nailed it lmao
This is so on point.
one of the best sketches ever.. :)
The older I get the more funnier this becomes.
Wait... this came out BEFORE his infamous CNN interview?? Lmao that's amazing.
Pure genius and entertainment
Hahahahahahaha! So funny! How can 'Edwin Newman' keep a straight face? Love Eddie and James!
he probably don't know who James Brown is.
@Peaches J Thank you! I've corrected it:-)
At the top of his game
I love james browns music which is why this kills me.🤣🤣🤣🤣

Rhythm in him constantly........notice him tapping his foot while his leg is cross while answering questions
Eddie at his peak. But Edwin Newman was a most unlikely host who I absolutely thought would bomb..But he killed!
a century ago when snl was actually funny
SNL for me is Eddie Murphy, Tina Fay and Steve Martin
I needed this to cheer me up...!
I knew it that's him, that's sound lizes scrunchies funny as hell funny.
He's beg as please please please, don't go and I love Eddie Murphy as James Brown Will Smith.
Guy foreshadowed James Brown's actually interview on the news in 1988.
