There is nothing that quite gives me as much joy as Eddie doing a Charlie Murphy impression.
I love it and wish he would give us a stand up special about just him & his brother!!! I swear I would watch
Same! It was like having Charlie back for a second!
Eddie's a punk talking about how you regret those gay jokes in the past that's cuz they control his ass

@@debacle8287 and yet you look at this video of him!
Eddie Murphy needs to get back on stage, and tell us stories about his brother. The world needs this.
Aint it crazy how he probably just looks at those stories as “silly encounters with his brother” but we’d probably deem that shit as legendary?! Lol I love the Murphy brothers so much! I second this comment
Facts! He should tell his version of him and Charlie messing up Rick's legs! Lol!
He’s probably not thinking in that light because they are brothers. He may not want to share all that, it’s logical especially since his passing. He’s not obligated.
@@ragantate3995 you my man, are a 1000% correct.
He should write a book!
The Prince basketball story and the Rick James stories are hands down the funniest ever told.
UNITYYYY
@@cyberneticorganismskynet cocaine is a hell of a drug
Rick James telling Rick James stories.
Rick saying he didn't do anything to the couch then literally the next sentence saying he did 🤣🤣
Too funny. Almost pissed myself watching that Chappelle show comedy central skit
The Prince story is legendary. The fact that they all say its 100% accurate makes it that much better every time I hear it lmao
The Prince basketball story is literally the greatest story ever told. Everyone that told it, always have the same story, somewhat verbatim.
That's how you know it's true🤗😇
The fact that Prince turned around and used Dave's pic for his album cover was just the best cherry on top 😂
"He had on a waistlet" lol
Beaten by a man who's probably a foot shorter than you. ...
That's a Grateful Dead song btw 💙❤🎅🏿
RIP Charlie Murphy
Cancer is a habitual line stepper. 😥
@@joshuamann5228 no doubt it is
🙏🏽♥️✨
Buck Nasty
😥 he looked really skinny in *Power*
You gotta love that Charlie Murphy even in the presence of Prince said "Shirts against Blouses" lol
That was 🤣😂🤣
😂😂 He knew where he got that shirt, and it damn sure wasn't the mens dept!
@@mama2flythesidehustlequeen164 classic 🤣🤣
Chaaaarlie Murphahaeeeee
🤣@@mama2flythesidehustlequeen164
Shirts vs Blouses...
still brings tears to my eyes in laughter.
Serve them pancakes and them call them bitches😂😂
That Rodney Dangerfield story was so good...
"Who knew?" LOL So perfect.
like right out of a movie lolol love Dangerfield
We need a series where Eddie just shares stories. I literally can't get enough of his experiences.
Him talking like Charlie is always amazing.
GREETINGS FROM❤️ LOVE69.PL
he studied from charlie. there wouldn't be a eddie without charlie
I agree.
Eddie talking like anyone is amazing. No matter who's voice he does, you can close your eyes & see the person. He credits genius, but he's one himself.
I’ve been saying for a while that should just be his stand-up routine. He should do a netflix special of just him on stage telling stories of his career in his naturally humorous way. Anyone would pay to see that.
That Rodney Dangerfield impression is underrated 😂
Who knew?
Agree🤣😂🤣😂
when WAS is rated?
It so subtle in his delivery.
The funny thing about Eddie Murphy, he’s always been a soft spoken person but he breaks into his characters full fledge like no other, he always snaps. Eddie is a legend.
He nailed Richard Pryor's laugh, I've watched him laugh just like that in bloopers for his movies. Eddie is awesome.
His Richard Pryor impression all around is pretty legendary lol #Love ✊🏼
Eddie Murphy is my favourite comedian ever I remember being to act out all the scenes from Delirious and Raw along with Eddie from beginning to end and thinking I was really cool 😂😁😂😁😂
He nailed his brothers voice unbelievable man I miss Charlie
Was he on drugs then?
He should portray him in a movie
The respect he has for Muhammad Ali is heartwarming.
And for Richard Pryor. Richard saw Eddie as a threat when Eddie was coming up and you will hear Eddie say a negative thing about Richard.
Yes
@@TA-ht4jo "Tell Bill Cosby to have a coke and a smile and shut the fuck up." Does not sound like Richard Pryor saw Eddie Murphy as a threat, rather an up and coming comic that he gave encouragement to.
Yes. He's a hero of mine. But Eddie Murphy's reverence moved me greatly.
I love when he impersonates Charlie. ‘Yeah, we got shirts Vs. blouses.....’” 🤣🤣🤣 There’s no impression he does better.
You can feel the essence of Charlie through Eddie. Even wearing the goatee like Charlie. Nothing is more gratifying than seeing that kind of love and bond between two brothers. RIP Charlie
Eddie Murphy retelling the Prince Story in his own words and adding more information is the BEST confirmation ever! Relive in Peace, Charlie Murphy!
This Prince basketball story gets better/funnier with every explanation, from Charlie to Micki to Eddie all adding to the legend lol.
th-cam.com/video/pYa7535AsgI/w-d-xo.html
This man is a comedic icon. I grew up on his SNL sketches, Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood, CILL my landlord, Gumby, Ali impressions, all of it. He's a living legend, and the fact that he stays out of the spotlight and just minds his business, I love that! Coolest cat, ever.
I'm convinced that Eddie has countless impressions in his repertoire that we've never heard... he really captured the essence of Rodney.
He's also understating how much he has been around legendary people... has anyone seen the Jim Jefferies special where he talks about how he was hired to perform at a private party for some random big shot, and all these big stars were there, including Al Pacino, Warren Beatty, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Eddie?
I've never associated Eddie with any of those guys - he doesn't really go out of his way to name-drop - but he has probably met just about everyone over the years, in entertainment at least.
Eddie's impressions are spot on. Even his Charlie Murphy impressions!
His Rodney Dangerfield is soooooo good!
Well duh...
He didn't do impressions of his greatest heroes though...
Charlie is his brother who he grew up with. They have the same patterns of speech. All he had to do to sound like him is talk slower with a deeper voice. For Charlie to sound like Eddie, he would just have to talk faster with a higher voice
I always forget how great of an impressionist he really is. To be so talented and it seems like he rarely uses it unless people ask for it.
Eddie said Prince had on a"Waistlet"😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣😂
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Crying right now lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tears streaming down my face 😂 waistlet!!
😂😂😂😂
Dangerfield impression was funny
That prince story and skit will never get old. Always has me rolling
Eddie does the best impressions of his brother. RIP Charlie Murphy
I miss him so much. He was very funny. May he rest in peace.
They're basically twins
@@cenoviopereira8603 Charlie Looks like a gangsta though 😂
Charlie is my guy. I always thought he was Eddie's dark personality 🤣🤣🤣 As if we were watching Afro Samurai
It's funny how full circle it is that Charlie was compared to Eddie so much throughout their adult lives only to now after he passed have Eddie constantly get "He looks so much like Charlie" the older he gets.
I think its the glasses and gold t..charlie always rock
"Gold T"? lol
@@terryseldon42 goatee
@@slattermerslab5535 u dont say😞
@@terryseldon42 my bad
The prince basketball story just gets better and better. Each with their own hilarious take on it. Even Prince got in on it by putting Chapelle on the cover of 'breakfast can wait' in his purple outfit from the skit, serving pancakes.... :-)
🤣
I didn't want this interview to end. Eddie's great!
In Prince's voice: "Do y'all wanna play some basketball?"
Eddie Murphy: "WTF?"
i like how they were bleeping out wtfs but when he said that what the fuck it wasnt bleeped out lmao
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha
I never knew that Charlie Murphy was just as funny as Eddie is until I watched Dave Chappelle. He was a great storyteller and had me cracking up
Great storyteller and very funny, but nowhere near as funny as Eddie. Charlie would be the first to admit it.
what? lol c'mon now. that's a huuuge stretch of the imagination. Charlie was not just as funny as Eddie Murphy and Chappelle Show was funny but also were a lot of parts that were just silly. Everybody wanna act like Chappelle Show was all that. It was a funny lil skit show in a time where there was not much funny sh*t on tv but c'mon now. Charlie wasn't even the funniest on Chappelle Show. You shld go back and watch some of Eddie Murphy's catalogue. Charlie was about as funny as a normal cool black person with a sense of humor. Eddie is something completly else, man. I love Charlie but no way, man. not even close.
I know he was funny in Boondocks and lottery ticket
@@shameekgrimes1921 yeah. I think he was definitely funny but to say he was as funny as a legend was just a huge stretch IMO.
@Mann Solo yeah and I never knew Tito Jackson could sing just as good as Michael Jackson. lol
I love how Eddie laughs so much in his interviews…truly a legend.
If there is one story I wish I was a part of was the Prince story with Charlie Murphy. Dave Chappelle executed it so well that I feel like I've missed the essence of life.
Damn, Eddie's Rodney Dangerfield is spot on.
Spot on... I laughed for 10mins
Yes he had me laughing 😂
Who knew?
Absolutely! I could watch Eddie Murphy do anything and love it. I'm so glad he's having a kind of return to the spotlight. Anyone who hasn't seen Dolemite Is My Name needs to!!
And then there's Fallon's 🥴
The Prince story is one of the funniest stories ever, and sheesh Eddie is spot on imitating his brother.... in which I know he would.
I love finding out it wasn't exaggerated. Makes the story even better.
Yes his Charlie is impeccable!
That and the Rick James story is the greatest skit of all time. Undisputable.
I really miss Charlie Murphy, he could tell a story in the most natural and comical way---just like Eddie can develop a joke from nothing to hilarity effortlessly...
The fact that Eddie can laugh at losing to a man wearing a waistlet is golden 🤣
I wish we got more of Charlie Murphy’s true Hollywood stories. Legend. RIP
We still got Eddie to tell the stories.
Listen to that Dangerfield impression.
We have missed this comedic genius for 20 years or however long.
Welcome back, Eddie.
RD was frickin awesome!!!! Hearing his name made me wanna watch Back To School!!!
GREETINGS FROM❤️ LOVE69.PL
Welcome back? Eddie didn't go anywhere 🙄
I'm shedding tears
I wish someone had that game on tape "Shirts against the Blouses" -Charlie Murphy...I'd watch it a millionx 😂😂🕊💜🖤❤
Fallon's fake laughing cringe overdose totally ruined such a poignant moment about Ali for me.
Until I read your comment, I thought it was just me, imagining Fallon’s “fake laugh,” followed by a hand clap. He does it often.
I’ve always hated his laugh. He ruined the legacy of Carson like Leno.
🎯
You guys sound fucking miserable. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@smufinstuff No, we just don’t like Fallon in The Tonight Show.
Eddie Murphy's background looks like he's hinting at a Vampire in Brooklyn sequel lol
A classic movie that no one talks about!
Michael, I second that!!😂
@@nahtally.b9139 Aye I'm not gon lie that ugly ass vampire dude eddie murphy use to scare the shyt out of me lol
shid, eye'm wit dat too ✌🏿😄
Anybody see an eye rolling around here by a chance?
The older Eddie gets the more he looks and talks like Charlie.
Edit: "One to Sleep On: Release the past to rest as deeply as possible." - Charlie Murphy
Yooooo it's scary. Nobody on the planet can say they're not brothers.
GREETINGS FROM❤️ LOVE69.PL
Agreed!
Yesss!! I was just saying that!
Now he's comfortable .now wanna be greater and realer now that he can afford to and wised up
The level of talent that came into the world between the 60s and 90s is just amazing!
Eddie himself is a genius. And incredibly humble.
That Richard Pryor impression was ridiculously on point
buh-ha-ha-HAAA-huh-HA
Dave Chappelle just needs to make a show where Eddie Murphy can narrate his stories.
Shit, I really hope.
It runs in the family. Charlie Murphy was the best story teller there is.
Lol, he already did it w Charlie
Great idea
This is almost the funniest story of all time. That was the time Michael Jackson met Prince at concert, and Prince played bass in his face.
And Michael was all shook about it, like omg he playedd his bass directly in my face...called him meanie.
Smiling all the way through this. Eddie just makes people happy. Hes the genius.
You cant deny Eddie Murphy is a legend!🤯
I've never in my life met a person who deny that
A living legend may I add!!!
Period!!!
@@CasualGamerGameplay you have some that do... They feel he isn't "political" enough.
@@chykim1 Tough for them,they can have their politics and make out with it as far as I'm concerned
"The definition of class is to step out of the shower to take a piss.."
Rodney Dangerfield.
😂😂😂😂😂
There are two types of people in this world: those who pee in the shower and damn liars.
Eddie seems remarkable cool and down to earth. On a side note, the Dangerfield story is GOLD
I could listen to Eddie Murphy's stories all day, My favorite!
I asked a fella I know who played music with Prince for twenty years and he said he was, in fact, a basketball assassin.
Prince was a killer in high school....
Eddie's impression of his dearly departed brother Charlie, and Rodney Dangerfield, are amazing.. nice to finally hear Eddie tell that story, what a life he's had. Eddie, write an autobiography!
Eddie's Rodney Dangerfield impression 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Facts 💯
Eddie's impression of Charlie makes him live on in a way.
His Dangerfield was crazy on point.
That was my first thought when I heard it as well.
And he was just playing around in an interview. He still got it. Wish he'd do stand up again
And Dangerfield was probably the greatest ever!
Rodney Dangerfield back in the day 😆 Hillarious!!
dang, i thought it was awful

GREETINGS FROM❤️ LOVE69.PL
"The one dude that could play... Prince's shoes had him shut down." 😆🤣😂
I AM SO happy Eddie is back. He took a break from giving interviews for a while. But, he is a wealth of knowledge, information, and great stories! I am glad now he's back and receiving the respect and acknowledgments that he deserves from the media and the world.
Im a comic. U have to be one of us to understand Eddie said he was 17 performing in miami. Hes from ny. To be booked period at 17. To be doing comedy period at 17. To be booked 1500 miles from home at 17. To accomplish these at any age for a comic is big
Good commentary. Eddie was a very rare case. He KNEW where he was gonna go and got there. In the old days, it was never his material, it was his confidence and stage presence. He was different. He had an air about him that he already made it. Thats why the comparisons to Pryor are wrong. The only similarity is they both curse. Pryor was much more vulnerable. Eddie had the leather, cockiness, and swag which was new to stand up comedy.
Him and Chapelle both did it in their teens and early 20s.
Bill Hicks was 15 when he started.
Sorry, but you don’t have to be a comedien to understand. anybody who been around excellence in any field understands.
He was thinking the same thing... Did he just say Miami at 17! Whaaaaaat! 🤯
Eddie Murphy is a legend!
LIVING LEGEND!!!!
right when did he meet himself shuuu lol
A Living Legend frfr
Yes,Indeed!!!!!! I Always Loved His Comedy,Even When I Was Too Young,Sneaking,And Watching Delirious,And Raw On VHS,The Good Old Elementary School Days,Lol!!!!!😂😂😂
@@shermanburnsjr.1116 😃😀😄😆
The Prince story is better than anything that’s ever happened to me in my life, so far.
Omg ty jimmy for letting Eddie talk for most of this legendary interview
Holy crap, Eddie Murphy is still the funniest dude ever! Laughed my ass off to "waistlet"
It's ridiculous! He just IS funny, he doesn't seem to really even need to try, it just pours out of him.
Kevin Hart said he was a meet up of a whos who of black comedians. From Eddie Murphy to dave chapelle and everyone in between and both Chapelle and Hart said Eddie was still the funniest guy in the room.
Same!!! 🤣
Eddie Murphy aged very well and he has such a laid back and smooth demeanor! Still very funny!
Money and melanin - helluva combo.
@@brynneholt1990 Are you suggesting he had plastic surgergy on top of being black?
I like that Charlie and Eddie do pretty much spot on impressions of each other, Eddie just goes into Charlie's voice so effortlessly here. If you watch the Prince and Rick James' sketches, Charlie is doing all the off-camera "Eddie" lines. RIP Charlie Murphy.
Rest in peace to Charlie Murphy ❤ the way he told the story will be ingrained in my head for the rest of my life LOL and the fact that Eddie confirmed everything he said was true makes the story that much funnier! who knew Prince was a badass at basketball? Truly a man of many talents 🤣
"I was crestfallen!" That is a word that needs to be used more!
That word is RARELY ever used anymore. An eloquent comedian. Whowouldathunkit???
@@jamesshropshire9854 there's absolutely no way a person as brilliant as Eddie ISNT eloquent. Just wouldn't happen.
Who knew????HA
Don't forget 'a waistlet'
Right? I'm ashamed to say I'd kinda forgotten about that word. Ever since I stopped reading so many books my vocab fell off. Gonna be inspired by Eddie here and start using that word more (when appropriate) and read some damn books
Humble legend. My dream would be to see Eddie Murphy and Dave Chappelle on the same ticket.
Wow, I mean I don't think a segment would do that because their names are too big and it would probably be $300 ticket lol
But as supporters of each other one would show up as a guest to the others special and that would be iconic!!
A Buddy and Reggie reunion.
Omfg yes. It would sell out in 2 seconds tho
@@reinaldopessoa2603 I couldn't handle it. 🤣. I'd crack my ribs and piss my pants 🤣🤣🤣
That kind of power would level whole cities.
Class act. The world needs more Eddies.
@6:10 had me hollering 🤣🤣 especially when he talks about the "waistlete"
Wish Eddie would tell Charlie Stories.
Wish Jimmy would learn how to laugh authentically
The "shirts v. the blouses" story just keeps getting funnier every time it's told.
I was thinking that too! The “waistlet” 🤣
And it was real wow the memories of different eras and people are mind blowing take care
Just how many times am I going to watch this and still smile?
OMG!! That Rodney Dangerfield impression was spot on!!!😅🤣😂
He saved Jimmy's bad impression with his good impression.
Charlie Murphy will forever be a legend.
"Shirts against blouses!" 😂😂
That Richard Pryor laugh impersonation was the funniest!!!
When Eddie says, "hey who knew"? It cracks me up every time
Eddie Murphy in the 80s... I laughed until I was bawling like a baby every time I saw him do an act. At that point, I think he was the funniest man to ever live.
That SNL skit: "BUCKWHEAT HAS BEEN SHOT" with the Ted Koppel voice and Eddie waving in that stupid Gumby wig while fake bullets go off, still brings me to tears! Some of the funniest SNL I've ever seen on that show. CLASSIC Eddie Murphy.
“Who knew?” Is a truly great line.
Those Prince stories always cracks me up !!
😂🤣😂
Shirts against blouses ...pure comedy 😂
They should make a movie about that 1 game
ESPN 30 for 30 special. Unfortunately we really need Prince's version of events and I don't think he ever discussed it, only indirectly validated that it was true.
At least they made a sketch of it on Chappelle show:)
THAT would be Hilarious!!!
@whatinthefuck shitniggadawg I heard that interview 🤣
Eddie murphy always makes me smile. Can't wait for the movie
Eddie looks more and more like Charlie every time I see him. RIP Charlie and Prince. 💜
Prince and Charlie story too funny!, Saw Charlie at the Improv in Tampa, Fl back in the day!
2:16 was so awkward, I heard crickets after Jimmy tried to tell that joke 😂
That was funny but I think Eddie was thinking of the way to tell the joke. Eddie remembered the whole joke 🤣
Shout out to Prince size 5 shoes playing lockdown defense on whoever Larry was lol
He was talking abotu a guy named "Big Larry" who was in Eddies entourage
I LOVE Eddie Murphy, he is a true LEGEND. He is SO VERY side splitting HILARIOUS without even trying. He has an ENDLESS list of the bodies of work that are classic comedy that I NEVER gets old. I am so happy when he returned to SNL to do all the skits from the past in and updated version. I could on and on but I will stop here and say you are the ABSOLUTE BEST and Thank you for many many years of sharing the best medicine. 👏👏👏
Rodney encounters are always honest , transparent amd hilarious
After over 30 years in the business, Eddy is still a legend and master of impressions.
Eddie Murphy is the greatest Comedian Stand Up/Actor ever in ShowBusiness/Hollywood The Goat 🐐 The King 👑
Yes he is.
@@pantonmuenchen854 facts 💯
Indeed.
Eddies brother Charlie was a GREAT STORY TELLER and the person who edited the story telling is a GENIUS! The Prince and Rick James stories are my all time favorite..
"He had on a waistlette" 🤣
"It's going to be shirts against blouses "RIH CHARLIE MURPHY! ♥ 🙏
The Prince story is still funny 😂😂
Richard Pryor laugh got me cracking TF up.🤣🤣🤣🤣
