that will make your U gay. Candy Cane Lane premieres Friday on Prime video, please say hello to Eddie. Murphy, how are you? Well, well, when you do it, we're all excited, you know, I mean, you know, I'm sure it's uncomfortable for you, but it's exciting for us to see you, um, I told you, when you do this it's this. like one thing about Elvis is that he's totally one of those when Elvis used to do like that and then even go like that do you ever do karate do you ever study karate I was never that much but I do that all the time you, uh, what have you been?

To what extent do you still watch those Little People reality shows? It's just that no, they all have, they all have cancer, they replaced them with fat people, right?, and I and I haven't started to see them yet, oh you. You're going to love them. How do you get into them? I really think it could be something new for you that could carry you through the spring. I was, you know, I was listening to the '80s radio channel in my dressing room this afternoon and I heard Ebony and Ivory and I, of course, started thinking like I do every time I hear that song, I think about you and Joe Piscopo playing Stevie Wonder and Frank Jandre, so every time you hear that amazing song you think of that sketch, yes I do. and you know, every time I listen I think um of Bug's Bunny when Elma fuz is going to kill the Wabbit, kill the wbit oh yeah yeah. “I see how it just triggers that memory and then I saw it and then he was saying it was 1982,” Joe said. on SK and I thought, Oh my god, that was 41 years ago and you and I really know it's going to sound like I'm kissing your ass, but you look like you could be 41.

I mean, it's really a little crazy. you must use an incredible amount of lotion. I mean, you look so young and then I was thinking about this Beverly Hills Cop four that you're going out and then I was wondering if that makes you think about your age and like, oh my God, I am. Playing a character that I played in 1982, when I was on set, we still had that experience, yeah, they would want me to pretend it was a scene where they wanted me to run down these steps, I was outside these cement steps and After After doing so, the director said: Can you go down faster?

With a greater sense of urgency and I said: No, I can't. I had to tell him. Listen. Now I know I still look like Axel Foley, but don't ask me. to do nothing you won't ask Morgan Freeman to do this it's the legendary producer George Slaughter sent me this

photo

today it's from 1990 it's Sammy Davis J celebrating Sammy Dam Davis Jr who is there in the middle with you and it's obvious that a He liked you more than all the people, no, I presented the program, well, yes, I know that it is more evidence that he liked you more, you presented the program and you know that this is the real

photo

, they liked a fake photo the one where you put people in and I have I have the black and white version I don't have this version Oh, I'll give you this when we're done, but what do you remember about this night when I was around all these old guys? classic old show business like Superstars and it was like you don't have nights like this, it was an amazing show if you had met Frank Sinatra before the first time I met Frank Sinatra I was on that show, that show, yeah, and he He came backstage and he said he said hello Eddie understanding he said you look young every day that's what he told me and I was 24 when I got the Faith.

I felt like he didn't know my name or he didn't really know it. know me, he was just saying something, we have, uh, who else do we have here? Mike Tyson is here, God, he's so young, that's so crazy and you imitated him on that show, yeah, did you run?, did you leave him? I knew beforehand that you were going to imitate him no, yes, it's funny, although it's funny when I imitate him and he grabs my mouth and all you have to see is on YouTube, you can see that yes, we have Davis Jr.'s 60th anniversary we have to Whitney Houston and Stevie Wonder and um Whitney is whispering something in Stevie's ear you have Deion Warwick Ed McMahon is here Richard Prior and Magic Johnson, shit, this is a Lola fana Lola fana, you know, I grew up in Las Vegas and Lola wasn't many. people, I think most people don't know Lola fana now, I actually went on a date with Lola, did you wait a minute, she was a little bit older than yeah, she, I was a lot, maybe I was 20 21 and she was a little older. completely surreal night and you know what I had dinner with her and then her cook came out and the cook was uh uh the guy who played Bookman on Good Times no way Johnny Brown Johnny Brown came out of the kitchen no that's just her oh yeah He loves to cook and Johnny Brown cooked dinner, I had dinner with Lola Fana and it was one of the most surreal moments.

I have a life with a lot of surreal moments in you, I think so, I mean, that must be pretty crazy. Like the entrance of a sitcom, when Bookman comes in, you have Clint Eastwood, there you have Tony Danza trying to look over Dean Martin's head and, of course, Michael Jackson in the middle, who was someone to who you knew, would you say you knew them well? I'm very friendly with Michael yes, very friendly with Michael and anyone could meet someone again. How's Sammy? How many years have you known Samy? I knew Sammy for a few years.

We would go to his house on Wednesday and Tuesday. or Wednesday and I'd have a

movie

night and you'd see Stephen Edy and all these people would be at the party that's why I saw Lucille Ball, I'd be at Sami's house watching movies, I'd hear from the crowd how delighted they are, yeah, and then Sammy we served drinks and you guys hung out only he had a screening room and we just watched movies and it was real, very Hollywood, the more I hear about Stevie Wonder and I met him several times, the more I start to believe that rumor that he actually doesn't He's blind, yeah I can see why because he can't do it.

Stevie could do anything he did. He can move, walk, he could. I've seen him walk around places where you know he does this. where he'll snap his fingers and if when he gets close to something he can change the sound, then he'll be like oh, then he won't crash into these things like a bat, yeah, yeah, I know he'll snap his fingers. people just say oh, Stevie W, he's feeling some music walking Shaquille O'Neal said that, look, she was in an elevator one time and Stevie Wonder walked into the elevator and he says Hey Shack, that's probably going to happen.

Wow, this is what I'm telling you. Steve, if you meet him and anyone, you meet him and you have a conversation with him and he asks you your birthday and if you meet him again in 30 years and he says, Hi Steve, I'm so-and-so, you'll say oh yeah, and tell you your birthday, he really has one of those crazy memories, that kind of crazy, well that's pretty crazy, Stevie Wonder Man and then he sings the song about your birthday, yeah, happy birthday to you, September 14, let's take a break Eddie Murphy is here with us candy movie on video I'll be right back.

I will show you something and when I show you what I will show you, all your questions will be answered, but when I show you this. Don't be scared, come on, be careful, be careful, you guys seriously, this is that amazing, what am I looking at? This is what I want you to see who's singing, oh my God, that's Eddie Murphy and Tracy Alis Ross and the kids and Candy Kane Lane. which premieres Friday on Prime Video, you play a dad who's obsessed with Christmas and decorations and all that neighborhood stuff where the whole neighborhood really goes overboard with some, there's a place here where they do that, yeah, there's Yes, yes, there is quite a bit.

There are some places here that do that, yeah, this is your first Christmas movie, right? First Christmas movie, yeah, that's crazy. I would have thought that all these movies you made, you love Christmas movies? that there are certain Christmas movies, I think everyone has these their favorites and they watch them every year, yeah, and I have those and which ones, well, I love to watch growing up, we used to watch It's a Wonderful Life every year and we watched that Rudolph Rudolph shines when R oh yeah that's cool yeah and now we would watch the Grinch every year.

I love seeing the Grinch in Jim's car every year. I watch it all the time and I love and love Elf. I love Elf. I look. If you're watching the same movies that we're watching, it's amazing and I hope this movie is, you know, a movie like that that you know you can watch every year like those that I like. Yes, definitely, and you have, I know you have 10 children, a grandson, do you like that? Shopping for the kids? Do you receive 10 gifts for children every year? Do they give you gifts every year? Everyone receives gifts every year.

Everyone gets gifts, including you. I receive gifts yes, do you want gifts from your children? Everyone wants some gifts, yes, do they? They choose good gifts for you, you know, my kids mainly give me things like massages, like a little bit like massages, neck massagers and leg massagers, and so many massages of what. Hell to get what we should give daddy shelf, right? I guess we're going to give him another leg massage. Did you receive a wrapped Spotify today? Will you receive the report on what you hear? Do you know what that is? and Spotify tell you. you're what you listen to the most this year musically they'll tell you what artists you have Spotify I don't think it has oh yeah it's just YouTu oh you have YouTube yeah yeah yeah I know you love YouTube right? now on YouTube, what am I watching now on YouTube?

Because the last time you were here you were obsessed with the monkey. I still see it, yes, but I saw it, I listened to a lot of music lately the last week. I've been watching The Beatles video, from time to time, do you really and over and over again love The Beatles? Oh, I love the Beatles. You could have been the fifth Beetle. There you are and this is your album. Al the B, so today the guys were going through your album notes and they noticed some interesting things and I can barely read this stuff, they don't even have stuff like that now, yeah, no, yeah, they don't.

I think that is. We get fooled about some things, especially this kind of thing, special thanks to Michael Jackson and Prince simply because it's cool to have their names on my album and to Richard Prior, my idol with whom I have a $100,000 bet, no mother, never I did it. Forget what the bet was with Richard before, he bet, he bet me when I told him I was making a music album, he said he bet me $100,000 that I wouldn't put out a music album where there are no jokes or anything, that's just it. music said he said you'll never do it and I bet him 100,000 and I did and he never paid me he never paid me you never paid me you asked for the money I never brought it up we made a move we made Harlem The nights after, I never, never said it, but he did it.

Something you would do: You would place bets with other people for a lot of money. If you had done it with someone before, not for a lot of money, but I make bets and challenges. I've made bets and dare bets and dare really then would you dare dare and do something ridiculous I don't have any friends you would dare you know I would when you know I used to date a lot in the 80's dick Cavit and he uh I would challenge him to do things that he would dare. I went to see a concert with I gave a Diana Ross concert with dick Cavit and I told him: I dare you to get on that stage and I start dancing with Diana and he says why are you? doing this and he goes on stage and gets up off of her and then starts dancing with her then he comes back and she's like oh idiot.

C started dancing with and one time backstage at Saturday Night Live, uh, Eddie, give it a try, Electric Avenue, they were all backstage and backstage. in the makeup room everyone had dreadlocks and they were sitting and uh dick cavid it was, you know, it's 1982 where dick cavid sees the dreadlocks and goes wow, look at those dreadlocks, he says how do they put that in their hair and I said I don't know , has Twisted goats, said actually someone told me that they use a goat hair together and I said, "I dare you to walk in the room and tell that to Eddie and he says, he says, uh, why are you doing this?" and he goes down the hall, we go down and I'm standing at the door and Eddie Granton, everyone sitting there, he's talking, he says, uh, he says, oh, your hair is really interesting, blah, blah, blah, he says, tell me , How did they arrive? your hair like that and he and Eddie Grant say oh we just twist it and we don't comb it and he says really because someone told me you use goat to get your hair there and he got very serious on his face and said uh no that's no It's true and then D Cav looked at me and said why are you telling me that Eddie Murphy came out, everyone, video of Cy kot with Tiana la.
