Maybe it's because Dave figured that Eddie had heard what he thought of him and wondered just how this was gonna go down. After Eddie broke the ice on that topic Dave relaxed a bit but he never truly told Eddie that he liked him. Eddie bravely asked the question looking for reassurance and all he got back was an unapologetic, it's kind of you're fault too for not coming on sooner response. A guy like Letterman doesn't usually have to make people earn his respect because of his status. Eddie wasn't having it until he knew where he stood.

I don't care if he did Best Defence for the money. I just respect the fact he admitted to it, rather than pretend there were "artistic reasons". Just pure honesty about it actually made him even more likable!

I couldn’t imagine anyone else playing his roles. That’s funny. Eddie is awesome

One of the biggest stars of our generation. An overnight sensation. Much of his appeal was his down to earth nature and incredible diversity amongst character roles on SNL. We had never really seen a black man performing as a white man on TV before. Eddie Murphy was truly groundbreaking, and it’s crazy to think about how groundbreaking he was in terms of leading roles for black men that weren’t Cosby, Pryor, or even Poitier until the early 80s and Eddie Murphy broke through. And to think, he literally saved SNL during a time when the producer at the time didn’t necessarily believe in him from the outset, but she sure has taken credit for discovering him over the years. I think he’d have broken through in spite of Saturday Night Live, with his incredible talent, but maybe not as quickly.

It's really interesting how humble and relatable Eddie comes across in all the interviews he did during this period in his career. I don't think the last few generations understand just how huge Eddie Murphy was in the 80's. This was a time when Hollywood was still playing by Highlander rules when it came to black actors, and Eddie was the biggest there'd ever been up to that point. It's going to be interesting to see how Eddie interprets the Axel Foley character 40 years later now that they're doing a new Beverly Hills Cop film.

Eddie and letterman and Eddie and Seinfeld are the best combinations

It's all about the vibe.

I did snap a quick photo of you though. I watched your show for 30 years, always wanted to go to a show - living, if you can call it that, in connecticut, and for some reason never made it happen.
