    @Robin- 1 Yes and nobody still cares - the butthurt is all media driven propaganda - the butthurt is the masses being manipulated by the few - and people are gullible enough to buy into this BS. Control of the masses using the media and big tech. That's what's really happening in this country today. George Orwell's prophesy has come to pass.

    Frank Sinatra literally cracked up when he first saw this. Joe Piscopo actually called and apologized the week after this aired to just be polite being he is a Sinatra fan. Frank Sinatra didn't take offense at all and praised him and Eddie Murphy for the skit and commented he has never laughed hard like that in years. He was right! It was very funny!

    Joe Piscopo was a versatile impressionist who could be amusing when utilizing that talent. Eddie Murphy was the best young comedian around throughout that period.

It reminded me that I had meant to read up on that all. 👍 It's kinda ridiculous how much Hollywood and the media have to do with politics and vice versa. One influences and partially controls the other. Its like a sick kind of symbiotic relationship. Does he still do that radio show? Just asking since you worded it to sound as if he currently has it.

    You can see Eddie holding it together through the glasses. How perfect that he could smile the whole time because that is Stevie Wonders persona anyway. Much easier to half laugh. I wonder how many times they did this and if there are bloopers of them cracking up because it was funny then it’s funny now. It’ll always be funny.

    The measure of success in musical parody is not disdain, but reverence. The more knowledge, insight and love someone has of a music genre, the better the skit tends to be. People who have nothing but passing knowledge of a type of music (pick one/any: punk, classical, jazz, rap, hip hop, heavy metal, Great American Songbook, musicals....) always comedically fall flat. The brilliance of this skit lies in how thoroughly Murphy and Piscopo inhabit their characters - these guys both have more than a passing knowledge of the repertoire and style of each singer. Even more impressive, is the nod to Sammy Cahn ("a mahvelous, marvellous songwriter, no offence Stevie....") and they nailed the Tin Pan Alley song title, and the stride-piano jazz style Cahn would have done in a mash up with Stevie Wonder. This is brilliant on so many levels.

And you get something pretentious or overly cautious in its place.
