Eddie Murphy recalled being offended by a 'racist' joke that David Spade made about him during a 'Saturday Night Live' sketch that aired almost 30 years ago. During Saturday's episode of The New York Times’ The Interview podcast, the 63-year-old actor and comedian reflected on the 'cheap shots' that he felt he had taken over the years, especially from the media during the early years of his career.
In the long run, it’s all good,' he said. 'Worked out great. I’m cool with David Spade. Cool with Lorne Michaels. I went back to 'SNL' I’m cool with everybody. It’s all love.' Representatives for Spade did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. In his 2015 memoir 'Almost Interesting,' Spade recalled dodging phone calls from Murphy on the Monday after the 1995 episode aired.
I barely spoke,' he recalled. 'I just stared at Rock in disbelief. It was so much worse than I had imagined. I wanted to apologize, explain the joke, anything, but nothing came out. Here was one of my favorite comedians of all time ripping me a new a-----. I had worshipped this dude for years, knew every line of his stand-up. And now he hated me. Like, really really hated me.' 'It was horrible,' Spade continued. 'I didn’t hate him. Of course not.
