Eddie is acting like he does the receiving end of a Boogie In The Butt.

Really should've called him co-star. This dude went from Beverly Hills Cop star to bring known more for voicing a buck toothed annoying donkey sidekick.

Lol, jokes on him.

Eddie Murphy wants to keep working. Only way to do that is become an obtuse caricature of what Hollywood thinks is important.

In these times, does Eddie really want to bring up old jokes? Literally half his set was making fun of homosexuals in Raw.

Eddie shits on Cop 2 as “the worst movie that was a major success.”

He doesn’t mention Cop 3 which was just plain shite.

Cop 4 must have taken Best Defense kinds of money for him to do it.

He followed it up by saying him and Spade are cool now and it's all good. It was a low blow to a guy that made and saved SNL, but not sure why he ever thought it was racist.

Murphy trying to make himself relevant again

This has to be it because it was 30ish years ago and apparently 10 years ago Spade had a memoir where he talked about it.

Salon article from 2015
Eddie call to Spade the next day:
quote:

Now here comes Eddie . . . “David Spade, who the frick do you think you are?!! Honestly? Who. The. frick. Going after ME?? You dumb motherfricker! I’m off-limits, don’t you know that? You wouldn’t have a job if it weren’t for me. Talking shite about me??” Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera . . . on and on and on and making me feel like shite.

Spade recollection of how pissed Eddie was
quote:

I was told he said he was mad at everyone about this, not just me. He was mad that Lorne would let that joke through to air. He was mad that the show turned on him, and that’s why he has never hosted after that or done the reunion shows. (After that article came out he briefly appeared at the fortieth.) He says he’s over this now. I hope that’s true.

But now it was a personal racist attach from Spade?

Why would Eddie be pissed at Lorne? Eddie was working under Jean Doumanian and Dick Ebersol. Never even hosted under Lorne between leaving circa 1983 and the Spade joke in the early 90s.

It isn’t like he had a working relationship with virtually anyone in the cast and crew outside of Chris Rock.

I don’t know what’s more absurd….claiming that this quote is racist or waiting 30 years to claim racism?

Seems like David Spade was right. The only relevance Eddie Murphy has had in the past 15-20 years was providing voiceover for a side character in a kid’s animated movie franchise and 2 direct-to-streaming sequels of movies from the 80’s

I heard David spade made a frick load of “enemies” due to that skit.

As far as this one is concerned, Murphy looks awful. Racist? How?

I don't care for Spade now- but damn, I had forgotten how hard he went on the Hollywood Minute. Some of that was scorched earth. Respect.

Never liked David Spade.

With that said - Eddie is weak for this.

He's already done a bit of an apology tour for the jokes he used to make, you know, the ones that made him one of the greatest.

Dude has turned into a mega bitch
