Episode 152: Eddie Murphy/Lionel Richie (Dec. 11, 1982)

This week, we're covering the one and only episode of an offshoot series of SNL called The Eddie Murphy Show. It's got the same cast, same writers, same format, except that it's the only time a cast member hosted the show while still in the cast and that person is Eddie Murphy and so now it's The Eddie Murphy Show. So, yeah. You might've heard about this one. Original host Nick Nolte has to drop out, his 48 Hours co-star steps in and thus, an fairly notable episode is born. We've got Jon Schneider with us on this one to explore all of the herpes, the endless run of failed jokes from Brad Hall, the only appearance of Steve Martin in a episode produced by Dick Ebersol and more! Not a LOT more mind you. Just the normal amount of more. Happy Holidays, y'all!
