Eddie Murphy calls out David Spade for making ‘racist’ joke on ‘Saturday Night Live’

nypost.com:

the New York Times that the two comedians had a falling out after Spade, 59, made a joke about Murphy on “Saturday Night Live” that Murphy felt was “racist.”In 1995, Spade did a sketch called “Hollywood Minute” where he showed a picture of Murphy, whose horror movie “Vampire in Brooklyn” bombed at the box office, and said: “Look, children, it’s a falling star.

Make a wish.”In the NYT interview released Saturday, Murphy admitted he was taken aback by Spade’s comment at the time.“It was like: ‘Yo, it’s in-house!

I’m one of the family, and you’re f–king with me like that?’ It hurt my feelings like that,” he said.“This is ‘Saturday Night Live.’ I’m the biggest thing that ever came off that show,” Murphy continued. “The show would have been off the air if I didn’t go back on the show, and now you got somebody from the cast making a crack about my career?

And I know that he can’t just say that. A joke has to go through these channels. So the producers thought it was OK to say that.
