Eddie became so famous so quick that you can tell from his early clips across all media how uncomfortable he was on talk shows. What's beautiful to see is how comfortable he grew with Dave over the years. Earned trust. The last few clips were the best because they had developed a mutual admiration and respect.

Dave was also uncomfortable. Eddie was able to make fun of Dave; usually it was Dave who made fun of people. But Dave had to put up with it. There were some women who could tease Dave, but not many men.

I sat here and watched from beginning to end. I don't get much time to sit this long, but it was Eddie Murphy. I love the way he never knows what the clip is. I truly enjoyed hearing about his life the beginning. Thank you so much, Mr. Giller for sharing.

I agree . I love Eddie Murphy. Im such a huge fan of that man. BHCop1 was released when I was just like 5 yrs old but I watched it with my parents I was hooked from the start and I knew I would support him from then on out and I have. I have majority of his films on bluray and I still have the original VHS tapes of BHCop 1,2, and 3 but I no longer have a vcr though ha.

I love Mr. Murphy. He seems so cocky and full of himself at times, but these clips show a more humble, reserved man. Hugely talented and handsome.

His humility and honesty is to be commended

48 hours was an excellent movie!

Eddie deserves everything he has. He works hard.

Couldn’t agree more .. it’s been a pleasure to grow up watching him most of my life .. I hope they do an update on his newer stuff since he returned to main stream.. coming 2 America , DOLEMITE .. etc.. I took him for granted after his string of terrible family based movies .. and was blown away when he came out with Dolomite.. probably one of his best and funniest movies he’s made in decade plus

The script that his neighbour handed to him called Dust to Dust was written by none other than the Farrelly brothers. Peter Farrelly was dating a girl who lived next door to Eddie Murphy and he had her knock on his door and give him the script. Immediately after he read it, the Farrelly brothers were flown out to Hollywood to start rewriting scripts for MAJOR comedies, which eventually led to Dumb and Dumber, which was loosely based on their original script, "Dust to Dust" that was given to Eddie Murphy way back in 1985!

I love behind the scenes shit like this. Thanks for sharing. I was going to google "Dust to Dust" just to see if anything happened to it. Nowadays it's almost impossible to "hand off" a script as the gatekeepers warn their clients and stars to never accept unsolicited material due to fear of copyright infringement lawsuits. Eddie either didn't know or care back then. Example: Eddie politely accepts unsolicited script from neighbor/poolboy/driver/stranger on the street. Eddie reads said script and a: tosses in trash, b: forwards to studio, etc. Another script with coincidentally similar plotline (happens more often than you might think) gets made/produced that is completely unrelated to first script. Movie is successful and studio/Eddie gets sued for copyright infringement because plaintiff (Eddie's neighbor) proves that Eddie and studio had access to their original script. Studio/Eddie has to pay neighbor millions of $$$ for settlement. Not saying it happens all the time but the studio attys have put the kibosh on unsolicited submissions. It's amazing that Farrelly Bros were able to get through to Eddie. After this segment on Letterman, Eddie was probably inundated with everyone with a half baked script, song or dream of becoming famous/rich.

For anyone who didn't know this: The improvements made were largely in televisions and broadcasting signals. The reason why it looks so bad is because it has been recorded from a television onto a tape of some sort, probably VHS. If you look at movies that were recorded twice as far back in time you will notice that they are crystal clear most of the time. That's because the cameras and film that they were recorded on were top notch even back then. The hazy, grainy, discoloured look came when they were broadcast to television.

Eddie definitely called him out for it and he wasn’t wrong. I don’t think it was entirely racist but it had racial undertones along with Eddie only being 23 the first time he was on. Dave surely was looking at him as “new money” and probably thought the hype would fizzle out on him. So maybe he was curious to see if he’s blowing all that money. The last thing he said to the guy when Eddie ran out in the first clip is “that’s a lot of money”.

He is so funny! He is also really cool confident and down to earth. Impossible to not like him I feel.
