Very rarely do the masses get to witness the resurgence of a comedic genius such as Eddie Murphy. Then again, there aren’t too many comedians and personalities that are as prolific as the Raw creator. In recent months, the Beverly Hills Cop actor made his return to the Saturday Night Live stage, received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 25th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards, and made his return to the silver screen starring as Rudy Ray Moore in Dolemite Is My Name. Now, Eddie Murphy is getting candid with the good brothers and sisters of WMagazine in an exclusive one-on-one interview.

During a brief interview with the publication, Murphy spoke on meeting the legendary, blaxploitation actress Pam Grier for the first time and attempting to hold back his lust. He also spoke on his experience as a youth annoying his mother with his imitations, buying Richard Pryor’s comedy album, his first kiss, and more. 

However, there was one story about his run-in with legendary comedian Rodney Dangerfield that stood out the most during the comedian turned actor’s conversation with W. Murphy reveals that he was able to convince Rodney Dangerfield to watch his comedy set at a Florida comedy club while he was still a young buck in the business. 

According to Murphy, his set was full of “really dirty” and “edgy racial stuff.” Following his act, Murphy approached Dangerfield seeking his advice to which the clean-cut comic responded, “Hey, kid. I don’t know where you’re gonna go with that — the language and the race stuff.” 

After acquiring mainstream success and becoming world-renowned for his “really dirty” standup acts, Murphy revealed the two met again this time in the bathroom of Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas and while standing next to each other at the urinals, Dangerfield leaned over and said, “Hey, who knew?!”

Check out the five-minute clip of Eddie Murphy charismatically carrying one an unintentionally hilarious conversation with W Magazine and be on the lookout for Eddie Murphy to be hitting the road with brand new material sometime in the near future. 

Steve Harvey became a household name as the beloved host of Family Feud, but it looks like the seasoned comedian will soon be prepping for a whole different type of feud if he doesn’t stop stealing jokes from equally legendary jokester Mark Curry.

The former Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper star recently gave TMZ an earful of his disdain for Harvey’s biting ways, telling the media outlet, “My thing with Steve Harvey is that he used my material on both his platforms,” referring to Harvey’s stints on the NBC shows Little Big Shots and the daytime talk show Steve which was canceled last year. Even after approaching him at Def Comedy Jam 25 in 2017 about the subject, Curry says Harvey is still on his “jacking joints” steez that he spoke publicly about on FOX SOUL’s The Mike & Donny Show last month.

As TMZ puts it, Harvey stole one of Curry’s Halloween bits on the latter show a few years ago, then turned around and did it again on Little Big Shots, which Mark wrongfully-yet-hilariously refers to as “kids say the somethin’ somethin’.” He even uses a classic rap reference to make his point even clearer, stating to TMZ, “When Puffy sampled, he did it right!” in reference to Puff Daddy producing hits in the ’90s for the likes of The Notorious B.I.G., 112, Faith Evans and others that heavily sampled soulful records from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s.

While we’re sure this beef won’t be approaching 50 vs French Montana levels anytime soon, at least it’s producing some positive outcomes. Mark Curry confirmed that his frustration with Harvey stealing his material has actually inspired him to come out of retirement to do a whole new comedy special, even listing Netflix, HBO, Showtime and Bounce TV as potential hosts.
