Why did Eddie Murphy bother showing up last night. He always seems like he thinks very highly of himself and is better than everybody else

The first hour was pretty good and included Celebrity Jeopardy but it was up and down after that. Steve Martin and Martin Short were both funny. Weekend Update was great with Poehler, Fey and Jane Curtin. The California skit was horrible and way too long. 40 years of great musical guests and for some reason they chose to have Kanye and Miley Cyrus on as performers. I am hoping Paul McCartneys voice was off because he performed the night before because he was seriously awful. Was good to see the Waynes World sketch at the end but we had to wait 3 hours for it. I am sure it was hard to put a show like that together and keep everybody happy but much of what they included as actual live skits wasnt great. I sat and watched for 3 1/2 hours which doesnt happen too often so it kept me entertained for the most part. The biggest disappointment was Eddie Murphy who was introduced by Chris Rock and then came out on stage and said thank you a few times and left without doing anything

Yeah and I felt the clips they did show were rushed. I know over 40 years there are thousands but it would have been better if they used less and focused on the better ones. For anyone young or who didn't watch when the great moments happened it was just a one liner and cut to the next.
Paul Simon was there. Shouldn't he have done the song instead of Miley? It was a Simon and Garfunkal song.

It was a Simon and Garfunkal song. It was a Paul Simon solo hit but when all was said and done I thought Miley did a decent job. She does have talent when she isnt busy trying to be controversial. Since Simon did get to sing another song it didnt bother me too much. Maybe a new generation will check Simon out since Miley likes him too

I'm really getting sick of seeing Kanye West at this point.

The show should have been much better with the catalog they had to work with.

It used to at least be worth recording for the couple good skits and Weekend Update. I remember the massive challenge of figuring how to set the VCR to record something in the 80's. Our first VCR had mechanical wheels you had to spin to set the time. Then we had one with a remote control that had a cord. I just realized that they left Dennis Miller out of the show.

Norm McDonald claims that Eddie Murphy was supposed to play Bill Cosby in the Jeopardy skit, but refused the do so because he "didn't want to kick a man when he was down". Norm breaks it down here, this is a pretty good read if you were a fan of the show: www.wired.com/2015/02/norm-macdonald-snl-story/

I thought the SNL thing was funny. I dvr'ed it and watched it a couple times. Eddy Murphy used to be one of the funniest guys on the planet. Not sure what happened to him. I listened to his tapes over and over again when I was growing up in the 80s, went to see Raw when it came out. Funny funny dude. It's sad to see what he's become.

He really could have been the king, and at one point there was nobody better....during the Delirious and Raw days.

They've gone to the well too many times with Alec Baldwin as Trump.
