Eddie Murphy was my guy for a long time. My first exposure to 'SNL' was his 'Best Of' VHS, and I would watch it over and over again. He was one of the few people on the show to play with the live elements and engage with the audience.

I used to have the 'Best Of Eddie Murphy' VHS tape that I wore out completely, watching it over and over again. His 'Buckwheat Sings' is, to this day, one of my all-time favorite sketches on the show. I also loved the one where he plays the Tooth Fairy.

Adam Sandler, Mike Myers, Dava Carvey, Eddie Murphy, Will Ferrell - they're all the best.

I had all the intentions of being the next Eddie Murphy.

Cool is the enemy of funny. You can't be cool and be funny at the same time. Only Eddie Murphy could do that.

On 'Shrek,' Eddie Murphy was locked in as the donkey before we'd even designed the donkey.
