I dont think Eddie is arrogant at all. I think hes aware that Johnny Carson historically sets people up. I think Johnny liked Eddie but knew Eddie was really quick(witty) and unpredictable so he was careful to not get himself embarrassed on his own show. If you ask Eddie a dumb question he will give you a dumb answer. Hes still like that today.

Eddie Murphy at his best..thanks Eddie!

It’s so interesting looking at this from today’s perspective. When Johnny asks what he spends his money on and makes suggestions you can see Eddie calls out Johnny for perceiving him as a stereotypical simple black male who likes shiny objects, even the using caricature accent that racist films used to give black people, all to drive home the point to Johnny. But he was smooth with it and had it flow through the conversation without much notice of the audience, all while being funny the whole time. Some people just have that kind of charisma

Hmmm, interesting. I'm a real Tonight Show and Johnny Carson buff. Ask me anything about the show. Surprisingly I didn't see this segment over the years, perhaps I did watch it like 10 or 20 years ago. Anyway one thing really sticks out here. If you know anything about Johnny, then you would also pick up on it. Johnny did it with many superstars. He would assert his position as the host of the show and not show any fear. He did it to Dean Martin and others too. So in this segment he keeps nailing Eddie about the bike theft. It WAS Eddie who brought it up, mind you. Johnny wasn't racist at all, you guys are merely confused.
