For the first time in some 35 years, Eddie Murphy returned to host “Saturday Night Live” — and he didn’t come alone.
Returning to Studio 8H in 30 Rockefeller Center — the place where Murphy performed as an “SNL” cast member from 1981 to 1984, a stint that catapulted him to comedy superstardom and rescued the show from its post-1970s doldrums — Murphy arrived after the cold open every bit the conquering hero, complete with the audience chants of “Eddie!”
In a nod to one of his regular impressions , Murphy grinned and dipped into Cosby’s voice, saying, “Who’s America’s dad now?”Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle and Tracy Morgan then arrived to pay their respects, each offering sketch ideas for Eddie’s comeback. Chappelle credited Murphy for providing a blueprint for his success. “I became the biggest star on television and then I quit,” Chappelle said.
Murphy then reprised some of the recurring characters from his glory days. A return to “Mr. Robinson’s Neighborhood” found Murphy’s character with gray hair and a bit of a paunch but still wearing his familiar flak jacket as he sang, “The white people came and changed everything, but I am still your neighbor.”
