Eddie is the funniest comedian Ive ever had the pleasure to watch. Cant believe he was just a young kid when he did this... Such wit and clarity, sharp as a razor.
If you made Johnny laugh and got invited over to sit with him, you were in. Thats all you needed. Johnny launched more careers than all the talent agencies in LA combined. The Tonite Show was must-watch TV back then and America LOVED Carson.
That was more for unknown comics. Eddie was already on SNL. They usually made a big deal of showing Johnny as he waived them over. Eddie moved like he knew he was going to go.
My father passed at 54,but I can still see the tears rolling down his face when he and I watched Delerious.The barbecue sketch was the funniest thing I had ever seen.
I'm sure some of you have heard this before. The difference between Jay Leno and Johnny Carson is that Jay Leno had stars on the show. Johnny Carson made Stars.
A pure natural for comedy, like Mozart was to music. So young, so confident in his abilities. Murphy's timing is perfect, his speech cadence is dead on, his physical movement understated. Murphy - Pryor - Carlin. Geniuses all !
He referred to SNL as "my show". Ultimate confidence. He had to be having miniature heart attacks backstage but when the curtain calls, he turns so smooth, so confident.
@@caracasboogie hey true story, Pryor had a bit about god coming back and asking about MLK and Malcolm-X and He stopped doing it because Rob William did it. SO all and all everyone steals. But not everyone can deliver....
@@cisium1184 He's 20 here. Turned 21 4 months later. This was his second season of snl (1981-82) and took off pretty much from the the 1st episode of the 2nd season. But his 1st season 1980-81 when he was 19 he didn't have much to do and was just a background guy mostly. And no one knew him at all.

@@dannewell6449 Will Ferrell? Not a chance. Look at some of the old cast especially 1985, Billy Crystal, Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. That was probably the best season. Dan Aykroyd. John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Joe Piscopo, Martin Short, Dana Carvey there were so many so much better than Will Ferrell.
@@weebunny That didn't matter to Johnny. The comedians were booked to do their stand up act and that was it. So him asking them to sit down meant he thought they were special.
I've never been the biggest Eddie Murphy guy, but you're telling it like it is. This holds up way better than first Tonight Show sets by many of my favorites including Letterman, Leno, and Seinfeld.
Such a nice, refreshing vibe when he breaks his routine and laughs. Genuine and unjaded. It's like he tickles himself until he can't help but let it out.
I remember tuning in to Johnny Carson just to watch this. Best ratings they had for one night in years. Classic Eddie was a beast. Hard to believe that was over 34 years ago.
He's a special talent, no doubt about it. Lots of people today don't remember how groundbreaking his comedy was at the time. I'm glad I can still remember that era, wouldn't have missed it for the world...even though I wasn't very thrilled at the time.
I was just months old when this happened, and I remember when I was a kid growing up, Eddie Murphy was like a hero to me, dude always had a special tallent unique to his own. I will always be a fan of this man
l miss Johnny and Axle Foley lol fun era. one of the first vhs tapes my family watched was beverly hills cop. Video rental place was like a wonderland as a kid.
But you have to be pretty old to get the premise from the Little Rascals of Buckwheat and Farina. I wonder how many in the general population would get his Buckwheat character on SNL and how Buckwheat used to talk.
Actually more like 14 months.. He wasn't a hit right off the bat either.. he was the only ' featured ' player of that cast.. But, once he hit, he hit big..
I read somewhere that Eddie would not appear on Carson unless he guaranteed that Carson would call him over after his stand up set. Supposedly the Tonight SHow reached out to Eddie's agent and only wanted him to do stand up. Eddie was insulted and demanded they call him to the couch. Eddie got his way. This story might be in the SNL book.
His impression of the modeling poses every photographer/agency seems to love is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. Every single time I remember it, it makes me laugh
Back in middle school, Delirious was our “RUclips.” We’d pass the cassette around between friends, listen to it together when we were together, and quote it non-stop.

I heard my grandparents say things when I was just a little kid, and while I didn't think much about it at the time, now I wonder if they really did. I always went out to my grandparent's outhouse with grandma on Sunday afternoons and sat next to her as she read something while doing her business. They had put in indoor plumbing at some point before I was born, but she still went to the outhouse. I remember my parents and older sisters had chamber pots in their bedrooms. The house my sisters grew up in had holes in the roof and snow would come into their bedroom in the winter. They were worried about fire among other things. I can remember following my dad into that house when I was probably 3 or 4, but he stopped me after a few steps and told me to never come in there again because it was so unsafe. I don't know if it was demolished or burned, but when I was born, there was a basement built where we would have a new house. It was built in '62. Sorry I got off track on that.
@@Grandizer8989 Lol yeah.....makes me wonder if that had anything to do with naming the popular game when tailgating at sports events or in the back yard.
Still, after more than 40 years this monologue by Eddie Murphy is many times funnier than what's out there now. Kudos to Johnny for seeming to always finding the best and up and coming talent, and he could be pretty funny with his own skits, like Aunt Flabby.
Eddie was so polished he walks out like he owns the place. Love it. Completely in control. !!

+Uffe Ulv I get Richard Pryor and Paul Mooney, but Eddie Murphy I just don't find funny. Doing 'stand up' that is. His old movies were pretty good.
+Mike Jones funny that you find Mooney funny when his whole shtick is being butthurt about race which is just not funny at all.
+Mike Jones I love Pryor and Murphy, but Paul Mooney is one of the most unfunny men I've ever seen.
Paul Mooney is funny. He just gets too politically charged in his comedy more often than he should.

Yup, very impressive.
not the part about a black president
About half of it does.

0:27 'Shut up!" kills me every time :P
It’s incredible because his acts has a lot of profanity and on the Carson show he did a dirty bit without any profanity. Truly a great comedian
He is also such a talented actor. So great in ‘Trading Places’, ‘Beverly Hills Cop’, and many other films (including his voice work on ‘Shrek’.
Agree. And that should tell us something.
He had to do it or he would have been fined by the FCC.

I always went out to my grandparent's outhouse with grandma on Sunday afternoons and sat next to her as she read something while doing her business. They had put in indoor plumbing at some point before I was born, but she still went to the outhouse. I remember my parents and older sisters had chamber pots in their bedrooms. The house my sisters grew up in had holes in the roof and snow would come into their bedroom in the winter. They were worried about fire among other things. I can remember following my dad into that house when I was probably 3 or 4, but he stopped me after a few steps and told me to never come in there again because it was so unsafe. I don't know if it was demolished or burned, but when I was born, there was a basement built where we would have a new house. It was built in '62. Sorry I got off track on that.
@@survivrs corn cobs for the cornhole?
@@Grandizer8989 Lol yeah.....makes me wonder if that had anything to do with naming the popular game when tailgating at sports events or in the back yard.
I’ve suddenly got the song “Shakedown” in my head!
40+ years of funny- Thank you Eddie! 😂❤
He’s still the funniest guy alive.
Still, after more than 40 years this monologue by Eddie Murphy is many times funnier than what's out there now. Kudos to Johnny for seeming to always finding the best and up and coming talent, and he could be pretty funny with his own skits, like Aunt Flabby.
