re: Rank these 80s/early 90s Eddie Murphy movies

There were a few years between the original cast leaving and Eddie coming on. But yeah, he saved the show.

Eddie was a featured player in the godawful 1980 cast that replaced the remaining original cast.

At the end of the 1980-1981 season, virtually everyone got canned but him and Joe Piscopo, IIRC. Most of that cast was no names, though Gilbert Godfried was part of it.


The show was teetering between “staying” and “cancelled” for about the next six years until Lorne Michaels’ second season back with most of the cast that were mainstays for the remainder of the 80s / early 90s.
