Eddie Murphy

Some 2000s movies have aged very poorly...

It's a love story made for Hollywood royalty.

It's been 20 years since a crass green ogre stole moviegoers' hearts.

He returns to America to find his heir.

That barbershop looks awfully familiar.

In another blockbuster deal, the highly anticipated comedy sequel is skipping theaters.

Murphy has returned to SNL just once in 30 years.

Fans of romantic comedies, vintage Eddie Murphy and the wave of ’80s/’90s nostalgia we’re all riding, listen up: Coming to America is officially getting a sequel at Paramount. Today, the studio announced that the original writers — Barry Blaustein and David Sheffield — are coming back to pen part two, but there’s no word yet on whether Murphy will be back to reprise his role as the African prince.

SNL episodes are hard, often frenzied work, so you can imagine the sort of time and dedication and stress that went into the SNL 40 show, which featured new and former cast members along with several guest stars. One of the highlights of the three and a half hour event was the return of “Celebrity Jeopardy!” with Norm MacDonald, Will Ferrell and Darrell Hammond reprising their iconic sketch roles alongside fellow SNL stars, including Kenan Thompson doing a hilarious (and timely) Bill Cosby impression. But according to MacDonald, Thompson wasn’t originally supposed to be in the sketch: Eddie Murphy was.

NBC has remained curiously quiet on ‘SNL’’s three-hour 40th Anniversary special on February 15, and while cameos galore are expected, our first major homecoming may have arrived. Following a 31-year absence, Eddie Murphy will reportedly return to ‘SNL’ to ring in the NBC sketch comedy legend’s 40th anniversary.

Yes, you read that headline right. Eddie Murphy has a new single out titled "Oh Jah Jah." It is reggae inspired and, actually, isn't horrible, but it isn't amazing either.
