I love that Eddie was never gonna be played. Carson: “Do a little Cos’.” Murphy: “No.” …and Johnny didn’t push because he had a thing called, “class.” Modern hosts push and push and make it all awkward.
Imagine, Johnny Carson asks you to do an impression, and you say “No. “. The balls on this guy. Impressive. But really , he just didn’t have any jokes to go along with it.
4:24 - The way Eddie was able to maintain his answer in spite of all of that pressure from the audience and Johnny though! And still did it in a playful, non-snobbish, way. I wonder why he was so against doing it.
I think he hated the idea of becoming known for just his SNL characters and also being treated like a caricature. I saw another interview where he said during this era it was easy for an actor on a comedy series to become known for just their character and not be able to get any other work because most people don’t take them seriously. This happened to a lot of actors on sitcoms back then.
I reversed the part at 1:12. The reverse part says ...... "I'm into a lot of". ha ha. They cut out whatever he said and reversed the beginning part of the sentence. It will remain a mystery.
I've looked everywhere and I can't find an uncensored version. What could be so bad in 2023 that they could say in the '80s. I hate this censored world we live in
If you watched it all he was talking about Pryor and then brought up Cosby. This was way before Cosby’s legal troubles. And he said Cosby is a bad dude.
You know, the thing about Eddie, at least while young was he wins by being himself. I still see him doing that as he is now reentering Hollywood or Standup comedy. There's no pretense, nothing fictional. He just does his thing. He's like the class clown who by his nature is popular and attracts others by sincerity of response. I used to be the same way, until I turned white.

@@robotron17 I just checked three other versions, including one of the full episode, all are the same. I wonder if it was done by the network and originally aired like that. Whatever he said, it sure got Johnny's attention.
@@npxmnpxm They didn't do reversing like that back then. It was just "beeeep" or silence if it was short, like a curse word. Perhaps there was a later official video release where they did that? Not sure.
