Eddie Murphy is arguably one of the biggest comedians ever. Before making an impact on Saturday Night Live, he was building a reputation for himself with an early stand-up career, and continued to do stand-up comedy during his SNL time. Murphy has now aimed his focus towards his movie career and family, but would he ever want to return to stand-up comedy? He has one condition.
The Beverly Hills Cop franchise star's documentary, Being Eddie, is available with a Netflix subscription. It highlighted his career, including his early comedy days. Murphy admitted to ET that originally, the documentary came about because he was thinking about doing stand-up again. They were all coming up with ideas, but then the pandemic hit, and the plans were scrapped. They kept shooting the documentary, and his mind was changing about going out there and telling jokes. Fast forward to the documentary now being out. Where does Murphy stand on doing stand-up?
