Completely different compared to the current SNL norms.. here they only glanced at the cue cards (seemingly), they seemed way more familiar with their lines back then and also way more invested in the actual acting part. More depth to their roles, even if they were just sketches.

The guy that stood up as Eddie's father was an actor portraying his real father Vernon Lynch Sr. The actor's name is Robert Judd who played the devil in the movie "Devil at the Crossroads." This was pointed out by a commenter by the name of Ted Mims. Eddie and his brother Charlie's biological father was murdered by his girlfriend when he was 8 years old. After that and a year in foster care due to his mother being sick, they came back to her when she recovered. She married a man who became what he considered his father, Vernon Lynch Sr. Vernon was a lightweight boxer from Roosevelt, Long Island and was a strong contender to be a world champion even having fought the Canadian champion to a draw. He later coached and trained boxers there as well as working as a foreman at Breyers Ice Cream factory. He was a wonderful father and Eddie and Charlie loved him deeply. He couldn't be there for a skit for whatever reason but the point of the skit still rings true. Eddie's whole demeanor changed when his father died due to lung cancer in 2001. He became withdrawn and mostly quiet and stayed at home with his family. You could see that in many of the interviews he did since then. He had cried on his deathbed and told him that he loved him and wished he could be half as good a father as he was to his kids.

Most just go along to get along to avoid confrontation with State sponsored terrorists in the form of military/police or rogue militias who are never prosecuted. The fear of getting a bullet to the face or beaten to death keeps insane systems in power. it's only when people understand that there are more people who disagree do things change. The fear goes away. Propaganda is also a tool that keeps people supporting, obviously stupid ideas. What rational person supports separate bathrooms and water fountains? Can any of you imagine having to fight such insane and childish laws?

On the rare occasions that I would be up my mom and dad would not allow me to watch Saturday night live. They thought it was too adult for children. My parents were not alone thinking that way. Almost every kid I knew were not allowed to watch this show. On Saturday nights at I was getting older my parents and my aunt and uncle would go out and leave all the kids at one house with my older cousin. On those particular nights we would watch Saturday night live. Our parents had came home early and caught all of us watching Saturday night live and every single one of us even my older cousin were all punished. Eventually it did not bother our parents as much. When Eddie Murphy joined the cast he appealed to every body that matters their age or race. I was in a record store yes that's what they were called back then but they sold tapes also. I saw Eddie Murphy's first recorded album on tape and purchase this. I ran up to my room but my headphones on and started listening to it. It was so filthy and dirty that if my parents had any idea what was on that tape they would have burned my stereo in the tape all together. Most of my friends' parents had found out how bad it was and would not allow their kids to buy one. When I was in school where you were part of the auditorium club and we would set up for assemblies and movies. We had a tape deck in the back office where we would all sit during assemblies and play cards and listen some music until I brought my Eddie Murphy tape in. After hearing it all my friends hit the mall without their parents and all picked up a copy of the tape. It's just funny how things were back then and how they are today. People today would probably not think twice and play Eddie Murphy's first album.

I thought I’d seen all of Eddie’s SNL skits! This one’s incredible! Also cool to see Lou Gossett Jr. especially after binging “The Watchmen”.

Talent is making something so uncomfortably true as this, both funny and entertaining. You can not write and perform things like this from a place of hatred. That is why everyone loves and respects Eddie Murphy.

BY FAR, the best sketch in SNL history!!

Serious + Comedy at the same time......Classic

People don't know how brilliant Eddie Murphy still is! Every star spends a portion of their career, chasing money. Some die before they make it all the way back and once again, some grace us with their talent.

Sheeit - just googled Lou Gossett Jnr's age and the man is 84 years old. This actor could easily have been a recruiting poster for the Marines back in the 80s - even then, he would have been well into his forties. Kudos to both these men for holding their respective age so well.

Great scene. Eddie murphy what a guy.

Funny and powerful at the same time!

Lou Gosset Jr and Eddie Murphy. Both American national treasures.

R.I.P. Louis Gossett Jr., who along with Eddie Murphy and the audience delivered a good skit here. Gossett had a good performance in Iron Eagle.

The people who disliked this video thought that if this was really a sketch on black stereotypes, the father wouldn’t be there in the first place.

SNL skits have always been so damn amazing

Mr. Robinsons' Neighborhood!

This was a gold mine. Never seen it before. Lou Gossett Jr. will be missed.

I love the jungle drums in the background!😂😂😂

“Excuse me for a minute.....*door open *... shut up!!!!

His father was murdered in 1969. He later stated: My mother and father broke up when I was three and he died when I was eight, so I have very dim memories ... He was a victim of the Murphy charm (laughs). A woman stabbed my father. I never got all the logistics. It was supposed to be one of those crimes of passion: "If I can't have you, no one else will" kind of deal. When Murphy's single mother became ill, eight-year-old Murphy and his elder brother Charlie (1959-2017) lived in foster care for one year. In interviews, Murphy has said his time in foster care was influential in developing his sense of humor. Later, he and his brother were raised in Roosevelt, New York, by his mother and stepfather Vernon Lynch, a foreman at an ice cream plant

Dang!!! This was a great skit!! I thought I've seen ALL of Eddie's skits from this show. How did I missed THIS one??!!
