See Eddie Murphy bring out Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle and Tracy Morgan during his SNL opening monologue
“I actually had a new baby, just about a year ago. That means I have 10 kids now; 11 if you count Kevin Hart,” Murphy said.
“My kids are pretty much my whole life now. But if you would have told me 30 years ago that I would be this boring, stay-at-home house dad, and Bill Cosby would be in jail… even I would have taken that bet.” He then said in a Cosby voice: “Who is America’s dad now?” Then, one-by-one, the comedians that Murphy inspired — Morgan, Rock, and Chappelle — came out onstage. “I wouldn’t miss this for the world! My kids love Lizzo,” Rock told Murphy. “When I got hired [at], Lorne told me, ‘You’re gonna be the next Eddie Murphy.’ And then a year later, he said, ‘No you’re not.'”
Chappelle told Murphy, “I followed your blueprint for my entire career: I became the biggest star in television, and then I quit.” Murphy, Rock, and Chappelle each also inked lucrative deals with Netflix to bring comedy specials to the streaming service. “Right now you’re looking at half of Netflix’s budget onstage,” Chappelle joked.“No, I got hit by a truck,” Morgan said.
