Eddie Murphy

Eddie Murphy has more jokes and impressions than you might think, with that in mind, it’s no surprise that uses that as a living! He is also more than just your regular comedian, he excels as well in singing, writing, and acting in films and television shows. It was in 1976 when he first officially started his comic journey, which was in a talent show at the Roosevelt Youth Center. He took on Al Green’s persona and imitated the singer with the tune of Green’s hit single Let’s Stay Together.

After the show ended, doors of opportunity opened up for him as comedy clubs around his neighborhood started to contact him for extra cash as a stand-up comedian – that’s like more than enough to cover his gas expense and a couple of round trips to the kitchen. That’s pretty much the start of his career in the entertainment scene – and we’re glad that he’s still doing it even to this date.
