THE REAL REASON WHY EDDIE MURPHY DIDN’T WANT TO IMITATE BILL COSBY ON SNL
Eddie Murphy’s refusal to do his excellent imitation of Bill Cosby in the Saturday Night Live anniversary special isn’t exactly surprising. First of all, Eddie had some resentment toward SNL- after he left, they felt free to poke fun at him. Eddie’s run-ins with transvestites made him a delightful target. After police caught Eddie with a drag queen, several more cross-dressers came forward and sold stories about their adventures with Eddie. (The one police caught him with mysteriously died later after falling off a roof.) It was a humiliating time for Eddie and he never forgot. That’s why he didn’t want to pick on Bill Cosby – either he feels sorry for Bill (who happens to be GUILTY) or he was afraid his own embarrassing stories would be dredged up.

I don’t think Eddie Murphy can laugh at himself or not take things too seriously. Which seems kind of odd for a comic, but that’s how he comes across.

He didn’t seemed too thrilled to be there.

Small minded little imposter…it so likes to follow Strom and try to be like him!

Thank you for your support.

I’m sure Murphy does not want to point fingers. He has plenty to hide.
Strom
Poor little perverted imposter. BLACK Bill didn’t want you but no doubt you have been “gotten” by gays of all races. Your love of all things Strom just isn’t going to get you anywhere…envy never does! Go back to your call center pod.
Strom
I wish he got me.

Well, you know, Cosby probably got Janet too. Lol.

Bill is just too big to immitate.

Why did he even go on the show then, just to stand there?

Cosby and Murphy share the same attorney, Marty singer.

Janet is the judge , jury and executioner based on her alleged ‘inside’ knowledge of Hollywood
