Eddie Murphy Reflects on Decades-Old 'Racist' SNL Joke by David Spade

Murphy discusses the lasting impact of a controversial 1995 'Saturday Night Live' sketch and how it affected his relationship with the show.

The joke targeted Murphy's career following the box office failure of 'Vampire in Brooklyn'.
Murphy felt the joke was a personal attack and had racist undertones.
He stayed away from 'SNL' for nearly 30 years due to the incident.
David Spade later expressed regret for the joke, acknowledging its impact.
Murphy has since reconciled with Spade and 'SNL' creator Lorne Michaels.
