Laughter is so healing and helpful. I’m thankful for the great comedic people of the world. There’s an it factor; a natural, anointed gift that can’t be taught. Eddie Murphy has “it”.
I enjoyed every minute of Saturday Night Live. Maybe it’s because I’m a television viewer of a certain age. SNL was the topic of conversation high school. The satire was un-apologetically funny. Eddie Murphy brought something unique to the table when he joined the cast that made it almost imperative to tune in each week, and last night’s episode was preceded by the same anticipation I used to feel years ago. I’m still laughing when I think about his Buckwheat character singing “Respect.”
I hope SNL taps him to host more often. From the tone of social media comments, he drew an audience that had long since tuned out. His characters and impressions were beloved back in the day. His revival of them did not disappoint. The show could have gone on indefinitely. Bravo.
