Edward Regan Murphy was born in Broooklyn's dicey Bushwick district, 1961, to a transit cop and ill fated aspiring comedian. Raised by a single mother (after a lengthy stint with foster parents!) and idolizing the similarly minded 70's standup star turned film lead Richard Pryor, he rose to fame as a four year veteran of Saturday Night Live, becoming one of its most universally beloved alumni in the process.
Turning to Hollywood, he then became one of the earliest SNL cast turned film stars, eventually fathering a daughter with none other than 90's icon Mel B aka Scary Spice.
One of the few to successfully navigate the strange transition from raunchy standup comedy to late night television fame through wildly popular, even decade defining action comedies, Eddie seemed to be on top of the world...before a string of flops that left his career devolving into the decidedly juvenile and embarrassing (if well paying) world of fat suit fart joke crap for the mentally challenged under the likes of Disney and DreamWorks.
Join us as we pull no punches with the meteoric rise (and decided fall) of famed funnyman and Hollywood headliner Eddie Murphy!
