Eddie Murphy is still stung by that David Spade joke on ‘Saturday Night Live’

Eddie Murphy is not mincing his words when it comes to some of the “cheap shots” he feels he’s taken over the years.

Eddie Murphy is reflecting on some of the “cheap shots” he feels he’s taken over the years. The Oscar-nominated actor and comedian – whose new film, “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” hits Netflix next week, was asked in an interview with the New York Times if he feels he’s received unfair treatment from the press and his peers over the years. “Back in the old days, they used to be relentless on me, and a lot of it was racist stuff,” Murphy said. After mentioning how it “was a whole different world” when he was coming up in the 1980s, Murphy brought up an instance “when David Spade said that s-–t about my career on ‘SNL.’” The segment in question, from a December 1995 episode in which Spade did a year-in-review during “Hollywood Minute,” included a picture of Murphy on which Spade commented, “Look children, it’s a falling star. Make a wish.” Murphy told the Times the joke came after his film, “Vampire in Brooklyn,” had flopped at the box office. “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,” Murphy said.
