Tracy Morgan is certainly on the right track after a year of devastating blows stemming from a tragic car accident that claimed the life of his friend and threatened to derail him indefinitely.
Well that was quick! Days after explaining why he refused to perform the Bill Cosby skit Norm MacDonald had prepared for the SNL 40 extravaganza – esteemed comedian and actor Eddie Murphy decided to take a stab at it anyway. And continuing his track record of excellence – he absolutely nailed it.
Eddie Murphy
Enough time has passed since the epic celebration that was televised earlier this year in recognition of Saturday Night Live’s 40th anniversary.
Comedian and actor Eddie Murphy who began his enviable career on the show back in the early 80’s perfected his impressions of everyone from Bill Cosby to James Brown – the latter won him undying praise and is still the funniest skit ever produced.
Oscar 2015 didn’t deviate that far from the norm. Neil Patrick Harris held down the fort and despite mixed reviews – he did a decent job navigating the choppy waters that manifest when you are tasked with keeping Hollywood’s elite in check.
“Among many other things, this was to be the return of Eddie Murphy“. Comedian and SNL alum, Norm Macdonald took to Twitter on Wednesday evening in an effort to give a throrough account of the behind-the-scenes mayhem that ensued before the world was invited to the party.
Okay…so lets get right to it. New York City’s most famed institution – Saturday Night Live celebrated a milestone recently and decided to erect a lavishly decked out affair in a well known space known as Studio 8H.
No actor wants to hear that they are not worth every penny they demand but it looks like the celebs on this list have to come to turns with the fact that they are not earning their keep at the box office.
When Eddie Murphy hinted last year that he was working on bringing back the vehicle that drove him directly into stardom, he apparently meant it.
It was first reported by TMZ, that rapper Heavy D who dominated the music scene in the late 80’s and early 90’s with hits like Now That We Found Love, Somebody For Me, Who’s The Man as well as the theme song for cult favorite In Living Color, passed away suddenly Tuesday afternoon after being transported to a hospital in LA after he was found unconscious outside his home.
Saturday Night Live seems to be on a roll these days. Emmy winner Melissa McCarthy brought the house down last weekend and helped magnify the ratings.
