Eddie Murphy recalled a joke that former ‘Saturday Night Live’ cast member David Spade made about him back in the 1990s
Eddie Murphy doesn’t have fond memories of working on Saturday Night Live, and he still remembers when fellow cast member David Spade spewed a hateful joke about him on the air — several years after his exit.
“Look children, it’s a falling star. Make a wish,” Spade had chuckled next to a photo of Murphy during the skit. The comment came after Murphy and Angela Bassett starred in director Wes Craven’s horror-comedy Vampire in Brooklyn, which bombed at the box office . The Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F star appeared on the NBC comedy series from 1980 to 1984 while Spade starred on SNL from 1990 until 1996.“The show would have been off the air if I didn’t go back on the show, and now you got somebody from the cast making a crack about my career? And I know that he can’t just say that,” he explained to the publication.“A joke has to go through these channels. So the producers thought it was OK to say that.
The You People actor returned to the SNL stage at Studio 8H to guest host in 2019, and he made an appearance at the show’s 40th anniversary celebration in 2015.
