Happy 59th Birthday to a true king of comedy and a comedic legend, Eddie Murphy!
Murphy began doing stand-up comedy in New York City as a teenager and was only 19 years old when he joined the cast of Saturday Night Live in 1980, bringing urban sass, pop-culture insight and wicked wit to characters like Gumby, Mister Robinson and Buckwheat, while in the process reviving the flagging comedy franchise. Two years later he co-starred in 48 Hrs., in which he walked into a white country-western bar, took the measure of its patrons and walked out a movie star.
After his 1983 stand-up special, Delirious, Murphy became as ubiquitous as superstar peers Michael Jackson, Prince and Madonna, making blockbuster movies (Beverly Hills Cop, Coming to America, The Nutty Professor) and more.
