This was on HBO in 1984 and we watched it about 100 times. There were a dozen similar and hilarious skits, one with Joe playing the drums. He was really talented.
It was great. The Joe Piscopo Special. I was a kid and we owned it on VHS and watched it over and over again. All the skits were funny. I was so disappointed and confused by his second special, it was truly awful. He was on steroids and kept talking about his son and how much he loved him which is nice but not at all funny. But his first one is a classic.
Yeah young Eddie was a different beast altogether. He was quick witted, fast, foul, he didn't care. Old Eddie, slower, not as witty. Not as foul...yeah those were the good ol' days
This may be the most perfect comedy piece I've ever seen. I've watched it at least 100 times. I can't imagine any way that it might be improved upon. REALLY BRILLIANT ! I think it's right up there with "WHO'S ON FIRST?"
Hilarious stuff. I love that Eddie Murphy's impression of Carl Lewis was just him being Eddie Murphy but yelling "I'm Carl Lewis." In 1984, that was kind of the point. Eddie Murphy was a bigger star than any of the people in this sketch, including Carl Lewis. People didn't get it then, but they do now, and that's why we never see anything like this today.
Carl Lewis didn’t become the “fastest man in the world” until after the Seoul Olympics in 88 (and Lewis still technically came 2nd in the 100m) when Ben Johnson was banned for 4yrs for using steroids. I watched the race as a kid and Ben Johnson left Carl Lewis & Linford Christie for dead winning in the time of 9.79sec smashing the old world record (no wonder they drug tested him) and it wasn’t until Usain Bolt at the Beijing Olympics that, that time was equalled (the Bolt smashed that record again with a time which I can’t see being beat for decades maybe 100yrs)
@@JoeHynes284 yeah I remember Ben Johnson had shaved his head bald, had a gold chain around his neck, was wearing the red coloured shirt & shorts that represented Canada and he also looked like he had put on a lot of muscle mass since I last saw him (maybe he didn’t but compared to Carl Lewis & Linford Christie he was huge). I also remember the headline in the sports page of the newspaper my parents bought which said “Ben The Bullet” only to have his name dragged through the mud in the papers the following days as a drug cheat. It’s funny what things stick in your mind as a child as I was 6 at the time and 7 later on in the year and I remember that the race was on either 7am or 8am because of the time difference between Korea and England
@@vinnyvaselino7975TF you talkin about guy? The same type of comedy is still out there.. You seen any Gilly N Keeves sketches? Especially the 1 about Alabama football.. You just arent paying attention to the good stuff. You arent gonna find it on SNL

@navycompass, actually this clip itself wasn't from SNL. It was from a 1-hour Joe Piscopo special on HBO. I still have my store-bought copy on VHS somewhere.
"I'm Carl Lewis! I'm faster than God. Can God run the 100 metre in 8 seconds? No! If he can, let him come down here and do it!" This is one of the funniest Eddie bits I've ever seen. Bravo!
Murphy was a one man show when on SNL. He bailed them out big time after the original cast left.....if not for Murphy between Hartman a few years later, the show might have folded.
NBC was going to cancel it after 84-85 season when Dick Ebersol quit as producer. He demanded the show be done on tape.If Lorne hadn't come back it would have been.
I've seen lewis interviews where the topic is who can beat who, and that's definitely how he talks. Fast an arrogant. the only thing he doesn't do, as I've never seen it, is say, I'm Carl Lewis.
For some reason I love it when Eddie Murphy says "hey man".
I have raced airplanes! I have seen planes flying over and started running and beat planes! I ran from New York to California in 5 hours! I'm Carl Lewis! Over water and what not! I'm bad man!! ROFL!!! Eddie Murphy at his best!

Shit he raced a plane and won
My money wold be on Carl Lewis against Bolt any day they both can run but C. L. Nobody bests j
Carl man
It wasn't 5 hours but it had a buddy run from Long Beach California to Long Island New York barefooted

" I Race Airplanes.. I'm Carl Lewis ". lmas !
Joe Piscopo & Eddie Murphy were a great duo when they were on SNL.
Lol his character isn't even 1 dimensional. He's 3/5ths dimensional. I'm Carl Lewis!
Lmao " i have seen planes flying over and started running and beat the planes." That cracked me up.
I once raced a cheetah and it bit me. I won the race while bleeding profusely. Love it!
I love the over applied ridicule. Who was the sprinter again?

check out mikey, his son’s channel, one of the coolest slickest guitarists i’ve seen 💥
Awe. I miss the younger Eddie Murphy. The best comedic actor and comedian.
Beverly Hills Cop came out that year, his best IMO.
Yeah young Eddie was a different beast altogether. He was quick witted, fast, foul, he didn't care.
Old Eddie, slower, not as witty. Not as foul...yeah those were the good ol' days
That's fn perfect. That's exactly what Lewis did. He would refer to himself as Carl Lewis over, and over and over. He was the greatest.
"Can God run the 100 in 8 seconds?!" 😂
Pulse22 no
If He can, let Him come down and prove it.
If He can, let Him come down and prove it.
Back then it was 100 yards not meters
I love that Eddie doesn't even try to actually imitate Carl Lewis...it's just so great!
That's what makes this sketch so funny to me.
I have a sense of humor.. so I get the comedy. You need to have a sense of humor.. or the skit will go right over your head.
Well its only really important to imitate a person when overall people know what rhe impression should be like.
my feet was bout to burst into flames and burn up the man in the wheelchair... I'm Carl Lewis i race horses!!!
hahah his carl lewis impression is him yelling "i'm carl lewis man!"
He’s Carl Lewis!
Omg. I watched this and forgot all of the Eddie greats on SNL. Eddie being Eddie being somebody else is the best.
Eddie Murphy is hilarious. I can watch his movies thousand of times and laughing anytime hard...!
I forgot about how Good Joe and Eddie were when they worked together. Awesome combo back in the 80s..
I remember watching this piscopo special as a kid. We had it taped on VHS.
“You’re healed but you’re a loser boy” 😂
"I've ran from New York to California in five hours!"
OMG, my stomach is cramping up from trying not to laugh out loud in the office.
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
😂😂😂
'I'm Carl Lewis, I'm faster than God!' It feels like Eddie is improvising in this sketch! That's just how great he is, Eddie's so funny😂😂😂
Exactly, you can tell when he's that inspector in Beverly Hills Cop, or any other character. It's like he just fleshes out the small bits of comedy
Eddie was known to improvise sketches on SNL, so I wouldn't be shocked if he was doing it.
I want to go back to 1982 and stay awile.
I’ll see you there
Funny line when Eddie said he had to slow down to prevent the track catching on fire. Great stuff.
This may be the most perfect comedy piece I've ever seen. I've watched it at least 100 times. I can't imagine any way that it might be improved upon.
REALLY BRILLIANT !
I think it's right up there with "WHO'S ON FIRST?"
Back when you wanted to watch a sports reporter! Eddie and Joe, you rock!🎸🍻
“I’m Carl Lewis, man! I race horses!”
I remember watching Delirious when I was a teenager. An 1hr and 10 min. of the funniest material I've ever seen.
It holds up too.
Funny thing is that’s actually me crossing the finish line not Eddie! Summer 1984 at Santa Monica high school!
Ha! I remember watching that episode when I was in highschool! Loved me some SNL back then!!!!

Stop comparing good comedy with today's garbage. Nobody cares about today. Nobody, hate to break it to you, today is irrelevant

Eddie and Joe had great chemistry. Joe was left to cough in Eddie's success of smoke after Saturday Night Live though.
"He's Carl Lewis."
"I'M CARL LEWIS!!"
Eddies run on SNL was amazing. I personally think it's his funniest stuff.
This made my day! My miserable, lonely, isolated day.

Love the way the Rev. says BOY.
"I'm faster than God..." WHO SAYS THAT??? Eddie Murphy is one of the top comedians EVER!!
"I have always bled before my races!" LOL.
"You're healed, but you're a loser, boy." LMAO!
I don't know how i got to a video that was uploaded almost 15 years ago, but here we are. The algorithm works in mysterious ways. I'm Carl Lewis
"I I I can run faster than Gawd" 🤣🤣🤣
Him & Piscopoe were magic together
Eddie in that track outfit got me laughing
I love the breathing when Carl is coming around the corner in slow mo
Funny thing is, 100m is a straight sprint, there is no curve unless you run 200m or longer.
@navycompass, actually this clip itself wasn't from SNL. It was from a 1-hour Joe Piscopo special on HBO. I still have my store-bought copy on VHS somewhere.
Eddie Murphy is the man.
Eddie Murphy is not washed up! He's just as hilarious and hasn't aged a bit. I am waiting for a comeback though:)
one of the best comedic skits ever! Eddie and Joe were amazing together.
Why was Eddie Murphy running the clockwise around the track instead of the standard counter-clockwise?
The camera angle ..
Because he's Carl Lewis!
this is the BEST eddie murphy sketch EVER!
Fantastic!!had me in stitches
A thin gold chain is part of 80s track runners wardrobe
Track would of caught fire and burned the man in the wheelchair lol. Best comedian of all time Eddie Murphy
Hell Yess!!! The Fuckn 80's Baby!!!
Piscopo and Murphy were magic on SNL!!
Only thing better than Murphy with Piscopo is Murphy without Piscopo
NY to California in 5 hours! That is fast.
SNL brought me here. LOVE the ending...CLASSIC!!!!
"...my feet still feel hot...!"
I met Carl Lewis in San Diego, CA in 1983 -- just before he won GOLD in L.A. at the 1984 Summer Olympics! * Cav *
Eddie was a phenom. He started on that show at 19.
"Go back and sit in ya chair"
That’s not Carl Lewis that’s Michael Johnson
He does look like him.
"I'm Carl Lewis! I'm faster than God. Can God run the 100 metre in 8 seconds? No! If he can, let him come down here and do it!"
This is one of the funniest Eddie bits I've ever seen. Bravo!
"I've always bled before races!"
I'm LOL at the time clock going in regular speed while "Carl Lewis" is running in slow motion.
"I can run faster than God..."...Funny stuff!
Hilarious.
"I'm Carl Lewis, I was really running fast" 😂😂😂😂😂
"Go back and sit in your chair."
Hilarious
I've never seen the words Joe Piscipo and special in the same sentence. And for damned good reason.
This reminds me of when Eddie was in Beverly Hills Cop and acts like the inspector
Murphy was a one man show when on SNL. He bailed them out big time after the original cast left.....if not for Murphy between Hartman a few years later, the show might have folded.
I agree. Eddie Murphy was ridiculous funny back then. Back when Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo were the only ones that made us all laugh.
Look at SNL now. It should have folded.
I wish it had, it's a empy husk of it's former glory...
NBC was going to cancel it after 84-85 season when Dick Ebersol quit as producer. He demanded the show be done on tape.If Lorne hadn't come back it would have been.

“I told you I’m Carl Lewis,I don’t lose races...I’m very fast, very quick...my feet still feel hot”
He can run faster than God and races airplanes? That made my tummy hurt from laughing 😂 that was funny as hell lol
He ran from New York to California in five hours lol 😂
Haha
Carl Lewis is running the WRONG way.
I've been racin' and bleedin' all my life.
Hilarious
This wasn't a SNL skit....it was on the Joe Piscopo special on HBO
he is Carl lewis...
I’ve always bled before races 😂😂😂😂

This dude must have inspired some current televangelists
Carl Lewis?
The worst yet funniest Car Lewis impression ever.
Lewis sounds a little like Michael Jackson, so you think Eddie would have done it perfectly lol. Weird.
Actually, the real Carl Lewis' music 'career' is the worst Carl Lewis impression ever.
No one knew what Carl Lewis sounded like back in his day there was no ESPN, just the Wheaties box.
@@charlese.duncanjr.2341 ESPN certainly did exist then, though I never saw a Lewis interview there.
