Eddie Murphy Finally Explains Why He Wouldn't Play Bill Cosby on SNL Anniversary Special

I had no idea Eddie Murphy was such a cool guy.

Norm MacDonald explains:

"It's my job to talk him into doing Jeopardy. We talk in his dressing room a good hour. When it's over, I'm convinced he'll do it. He doesn't. He knew the laughs would bring the house down. Eddie Murphy knows what will work on SNL better than anyone. Eddie decides the laughs are not worth it. He will not kick a man when he is down. Eddie Murphy, I realize, is not like the rest of us. Eddie does not need the laughs. Eddie Murphy is the coolest, a rock star even in a room with actual rock stars."
