Eddie Murphy Refused To Play Bill Cosby On "SNL 40th Anniversary Celebration" (EXPLANATION)
Eddie Murphy's appearance on "SNL 40th Anniversary Celebration" last weekend had many viewers disturbed that he did not bring back a classic character or tell jokes.
The reason is because the writers demanded to play Bill Cosby.
Former "Saturday Night Live" cast member Norm MacDonald took to social media to explain in detail what took place behind the scenes at SNL 40.

Eddie Murphy, I realize, is not like the rest of us. Eddie does not need the laughs.

Eddie decides the laughs are not worth it. He will not kick a man when he is down.

He knew the laughs would bring the house down. Eddie Murphy knows what will work on SNL better than any one.

We talk in his dressing room a good hour. When it's over, I'm convinced he'll do it.

Rock says, "There he is. Like Ali in Zaire." Eddie, Bomaye.

I'm standing with my son, Lori Jo, and Chris Rock. We see Eddie from 100 yards away.
