Eddie Murphy made it clear Saturday night ... some things are just worth waiting for.

t's pretty remarkable ... his 'SNL' appearance was the first time in 35 years since he hosted. You'll recall, he reprieved some of his classic characters, including Buckwheat, Mister Robinson and Gumby.

Lorne MichaelsHere's the good news ... Eddie said he's going to get back on stage to do more comedy. He says he planned to do it before the pandemic, and once he gets the all-clear he's going before live audiences.Congrats!!!

Wait what

Why did it take so long?... hmm..

Deserved way earlier

I’m watching all Beverly Hills Cop movies tonight and sucking corona virus D

Yeah😍😍😍EDDIE THE NERVE WATCH

He is a national treasure

Oh course he did, Hollywood must be politically correct

20 seconds only !!! Cheer's... NoStress soft vocals **don't get burnt tho**

Congratulations! 🍾

Does the song on my profile have potential to blow up?

Pandering is awesome

It's about time! Congrats! EddieMurphy

Yeah

Congratulations to Eddie Murphy. It’s hard to imagine he didn’t have and Emmy award already considering his amazing work on SNL back in the day.

SNL was all about Eddie...after Eddie it’s been all down hill...

It feels like it’s been 40 years since SNL was funny.

There’s no Emmy for standup performance’s? I guess not because he would have won for Delirious and Raw easily.

Hollywood should insist Eddie Murphy gets,not used right,not the words,but that,his maximum potential gets expressed, cus if Madea can make more🎥s than Ernest in90s&becomes billion dollar franchise,no reason why Eddie cant too,but people would actually, want to watch,not pretend

A little late but better late than never.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

🎥s I'd like to see him in? Where he writes&produces&has full control over his vision like a JordanPeele. Definitely BadBoys team up w/BHC franchise&as a good guy,sick of seeing my favorite stars from 80s&90s getting killed by lazy writing just to do it since nobody seen that yet

I understand why he chose to stop doing legendary raunchy comedy & classic action movies, family man wanted to makes🎥appropriate for his kids, but, there's a huge audience from his Delirious/Raw/BeverlyHillsCop era that really wanted that to continue,even if its now,+20yrs later

What you gonna get in 2060 big Ed?!! 🤣 Bless up Sir! More power

Racism

He deserves two Oscars one for Delirious & Raw. That's a good start though.

Eddie Murphy always has, and always will be known as one of the best comedians of the 80’s and 90’s. He needs to do a comeback tour.

Eddie Murphy was funny as all hell and he should have gotten some recognition way before this. So it seems like he only got this reward now is because he's black. And that's all the awards are about now is what race you are not the talent that you have. Sad

Is this like being released from prison for a crime you didn't commit?

Why? He did one show and it was terrible! He’s not funny and he is a racist POS!

Lifetime achievement award

That was the worst show of the season!

He deserved it way before

Trump2020

It definitely for this skit. Amirite citizen_jz ?🤣🤣

I forgot about eddie
