Eddie Murphy: A Raw Talent | 290

Not many celebrity careers have the legs of Eddie Murphy’s. He starts out as a teenage stand up comic and soon becomes the breakout star on “Saturday Night Live.” Then Eddie seamlessly transitions from the small screen to the silver screen with comedies like “Beverly Hills Cop,” “48 Hours,” and “Trading Places.” And with his specials “Delirious” and “Raw,” he establishes himself as one of his generation’s most influential and important comics as well. And then, after an embarrassing and potentially career-ending scandal, he manages to reinvent himself as the beloved star of family movies like “The Nutty Professor,” “Mulan,” and “Shrek.” Eddie Murphy was born funny and his legacy will be felt for generations to come.You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.
