Explains Murphy's film career the last 15 years.

Would have been incredible

I'm reading the tweets and he is talking about David spade said something about Murphy that made Murphy not want to attend the 25th anniversary...what did spade say about Murphy?

Can't believe Eddie got that mad over that comment

He was not only mad at Spade, but he was pissed that Lorne let the joke on the air. I remember Eddie saying that it wasn't about the joke, it was about the betrayal. Or something.

Spade was asked about this on Kimmel before the show and he made it seem it had been reasonably taken care of before the big show, but between the lines you could tell it wasn't made rosy.

Sounds like Eddie needs to get over himself. It's comedy. Just laugh at yourself and move on.

So Norm is saying that CJ was "never about impressions"? Bull fricking shite. That was the crux of the skit. He even said on some SNL throwback show that he wanted to do Burt Reynolds and wanted to do him as the 70s Burt because that's the version he liked the most.

And I think I saw/read at some point that David Spade never really loved Hollywood Minute because he felt bad for ragging on celebrities and it felt mean, or something like that. Anybody else remember that?



Also, I see Norm mentioning a Wayne's World sketch...there wasn't one on the SNL40 show, was there? Did I miss it?

pretty sure it was the last skit

Oh yeah....my DVR cut off early. That's right.

I guess I need to find the episode online somwehere and watch from where my DVR left off.

Preesh. Where can I find the whole episode? I guess I'll start with NBC or Hulu?

Also, here is a three minute clip on Jim Brewer talking about the Spade/Murphy thing: LINK

ETA: NBC has it.
