Eddie Murphy at peak chaos before Hollywood tamed him.
Videocassette release of a compilation of sketches from the television show, Saturday Night Live. Sketches include: • Buckwheet Sings • Velvet Jones • Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood • The Little Richard Simmons Show • Galactic Prophylactic • Toof Fairy • James Brown's Celebrity Hot Tub Party • Cos' • Jesse Jackson • Ebony & Ivory • The Fifth Beatle • Black History Minute • White Like Me • Cotton Land • James Brown is Annie
Acting
Murphy's raw star power before he became a brand.
Writing
Edgy racial humor that SNL wouldn't touch now.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Murphy joined SNL at 19, saved a dying season, and bounced at 21—taking his characters with him.
This VHS compilation exists because NBC didn't own Murphy's likeness rights; he licensed his own sketches back to himself.
