>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY, WE'RE BACK HERE WITH EDDIE
MURPHY!
NOW THEN, MR. MURPHY, YOU MIGHT BE TALKING TO THIS GUY SOON.
BECAUSE YOU, OF COURSE, ALSO FAMOUS--
>> CAN YOU SHOW THAT PICTURE?
>> Stephen: WE MIGHT HAVE TO BLUR THIS PICTURE.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
THAT IS YOU.
( APPLAUSE )
WHAT YEAR IS THIS?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
>> Stephen: A LONG TIME AGO.
>> I HAVE NO IDEA.
>> Stephen: PEOPLE HAVE BEEN CLAMORING FOR YOU TO GO DO STUP
AGAIN.
I UNDERSTAND ONE OF THEM WAS BARACK OBAMA.
>> OBAMA, YEAH, I GOT THIS MARK TWAIB PRIZE, WHEN I SAW HIM IN
THE WHITE HOUSE, THE FIRST THING HE ASKED ME WAS, "WHEN ARE YOU
GOING TO DO STUP AGAIN?"
MAYBE IT'S TIME TO DO STUP AGAIN.
>> Stephen: DID YOU DO YOUR OBAMA--
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> OH, NO.
I DON'T REALLY KNOW IF I DO A GOOD OBAMA.
YOU KNOW WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT?
HE TALKED ABOUT MY HAIR.
HE WAS LIKE, "HOW COME YOUR HAIR--" HE SAID, "WHAT KIND OF
RINSE ARE YOU USING?" YOU DON'T HAVE ANY GRAY HAIRS.
I'M ABOUT TWO, THREE MONTHS OLDER THAN OBAMA.
HE WAS LIKE, "THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME FEEL ANY BETTER."
IT'S A GREAT PICTURE I HAVE OF ME TALKING TO HIM IN THE WHITE
HOUSE AND WE'RE, LIKE, TALKING AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE HAVING
THIS THING.
AND AT THAT MOMENT HE'S GOING, "SO WHAT KIND OF RINSE DO YOU
USE?"
I DON'T HAVE A RINSE.
>> Stephen: THAT'S REAL.
THAT'S REAL.
THAT'S NOT A RINSE.
>> I GET GRAY HAIR IN MY MUSTACHE AND MY NOSE OF ALL
PLACES, BUT MY HAIR IS ALL BLACK.
>> Stephen: WHAT KIND OF RINSE DO YOU USE IN YOUR NOSE, AFRIN.
>> I JUST CUT IT OUT.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE HOSTING "S.N.L."--
>> YES, YES!
>> Stephen: THIS DECEMBER?
CHRISTMAS.
( APPLAUSE )
35 YEARS.
>> IN 35 YEARS YOU.
>> Stephen: HAVE NOT HOSTED IN 35 YEARS.
>> I HAVE NOT BEEN BACK THERE IN 35 YEARS.
( APPLAUSE )
IN COMMON.
>> YOU HAVEN'T BEEN BACK.
>> Stephen: I HAVE NOT HOSTED IN 35 YEARS.
CAN WE EXPECT SOME OF YOUR OLD CHARACTERS.
ARE WE GOING TO SEE GUMBY OR BUCKWHEAT?
>> I WOULD IMAGINE.
>> Stephen: MR. "ROBINSON'S NEIGHBORHOOD."
DO YOU MISS-- DO YOU MISS-- DO YOU EVER DO ANY OF THESE VOICES
ON YOUR OWN?
DO YOU JUST BREAK THEM OUT.
>> I DON'T MIS, NO, BUT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO GOING BACK
AND DOING THAT STUFF.
I HOPE IT'S FUNNY.
NO, YOU YOU WANT THE SHOW TO BE-- TO BE REALLY FUNNY IF YOU
GO BACK, AND YOU WANT IT TO REALLY BE GOOD.
SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
( LAUGHTER )
ADVICE TO GIVE YOUR 19-YEAR-OLD SELF.
YOU WANT THE SHOW TO BE REALLY FUNNY.
>> NO, HE WANTED STUFF TO BE FUNNY ALL THE TIME, TOO.
I ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, WANTED TO BE FUNNY, AS FUNNY AS IT CAN BE.
"S.N.L." IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S SUCH A BIG PART OF WHO I
AM, YOU KNOW.
IF I GO BACK, YOU DON'T WANT TO GO BACK AFTER 35 YEARS AND THE
SHOW IS LIKE, "AH, IT WAS ALL RIGHT."
YOU KNOW.
>> Stephen: WAS THERE ANY OTHER THING YOU THOUGHT YOU
MIGHT COOTHER THAN COMEDY?
WAS THERE A FALL-BACK POSITION AT ANY POINT?
OR YOU NEVER LOOKED IN ANY OTHER DIRECTION?
BECAUSE YOU HAD TO HAVE SOME DOUBTS.
>> NO, I GOT STARTED-- I STARTED DOING STUP WHEN I WAS 15, AND
THINGS HAPPENED KIND OF-- CAME TOGETHER QUICK, YOU KNOW,.
>> Stephen: WERE YOUR FOLKS OKAY WITH THAT?
>> OKAY WITH WHAT?
>> Stephen: WAS YOUR MOM OKAY WITH YOU GOING INTO SHOW
BUSINESS?
>> YEAH.
WHEN I STARTED BRINGING CHECKS HOME.
( LAUGHTER )
PEOPLE-- FOR ME IT WAS-- IT WAS CARLIN AND COSBY AND STEVE
MARTIN.
WHO WERE THE PEOPLE THAT YOU WENT, "I WANT TO BE LIKE THAT"?
>> WHO I THINK THE ALL-TIME GREATS ARE, ARE CARLIN, COSBY,
RICHARD PRYOR, AND CHAPLAIN.
( APPLAUSE ).
>> Stephen: WOW.
>> BUT I ASPIRED TO BE LIKE RICHARD.
I THOUGHT RICHARD WAS THE FUNNIEST.
I WAS LIKE, "THAT'S WHO I WANT TO BE LIKE."
BUT I HAD OTHER ONES, TOO, THAT WEREN'T COMEADANS.
MOHAMMED ALI, AND BRUCE LEE.
WHO WAS ANOTHER ONE WHO WAS REALLY BIG.
MOHAMMED ALI, BRUCE LEE, RICHARD PRYOR.
I'M FORGETTING ONE PERSON.
HE'LL COME TO ME IN A SECOND.
>> Stephen: THERE ANY ALI, OR BRUCE LEE IN ANY OF YOUR ROLES?
HAVE YOU CHANNELED ANY OF THAT RASPERATION IN YOUR WORK.
>THERE'S A LITTLE BRUCELY IN YOUR KARATE
CHOP, OBVIOUSLY.
>> I DO BRUCE LEE WHEN I HAVE TO PULL A GUN UP ON THE IN THE
MOVIE I'M DOING A BRUCE LEE.
THE FIRST MOVIE I DID WAS "48 HOURS."
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
BEFORE, NEVER HAD TO LOOK, AND THE DIRECTOR WAS LIKE-- YOU'RE
GOING THROUGH THIS ALLEY LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WITH THE GUN.
SO I JUST STARTED DOING-- ACTING HOW BRUCE LEE WAS ACTING, MAKING
FACES AND PULL THE GUN OUT AND ( BLEEP ).
SO WHEN I PULL A GUN OUT IN THE MOVIE, I'M IMITATING-- I'M
TRYING TO DO BRUCE LEE FACES.
SO IF YOU SAID, "TAKE A GUN OUT AND DON'T MAKE A BRUCE LEE
FACE," I'D BE LIKE HEEY.
TO THIS DAY IF I PULL OUT A GUN, I'M DOING MY BRUCE LEE
( BLEEP ).
>> Stephen: IS THERE ANY ROLE YOU HAVE DONE THAT YOU WENT I
DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS GOING TO BE SUCH A HUGE PART OF MY LEGACY?
LIKE, THAT ROLE WOULD GRAB EVERYBODY?
BECAUSE I HAVE ONE IN MIND WHICH IS "DONKEY."
>> OH
>> Stephen: "DONKEY" IS ONE OF YOUR GREATEST PERFORMANCES AND
WE DON'T GET IT SEE YOU ANDs ONLY ONE PERSON IT COULD BE IS
EDDIE MURPHY.
>> ANY MOVIE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW BIG IT COULD BE, YOU KNOW.
YOU FIND OUTARDSES.
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING I THINK-- I HAVE A COUPLE OF ONES THAT
WERE REALLY BAD, WHERE I WAS LIKE, "I DID NOT KNOW IT WAS
GOING TO BE THAT BAD."
( LAUGHTER )
THAT?"
A COUPLE OF THOSE THOSE.
>> Stephen: WE HAVEN'T EVEN TALKED ABOUT THIS.
THIS IS-- THIS IS-- THAT'S YOU.
>> WE'RE DOING THAT RIGHT NOW.
IT'S ALMOST FINISHED
