Editorial Review:
In the early 80s, Saturday Night Live came back alive and the reason was Eddie Murphy. It's all here-Gumby, Buckwheat, Little Richard Simmons, a dip in James Brown's Hot Tub. Pay a visit to Mr. Robinson's neighborhood and see the best of Velvet Jones, Stevie Wonder and more!System Requirements:
Running Time 66 Min
Format: DVD MOVIE
Perhaps one of the greatest lights ever to shine on late-night television, Eddie Murphy has gone on to well-deserved international superstardom. Check out his earliest television work on Saturday Night Live: The Best of Eddie Murphy, a collection of his greatest roles, from Gumby to Stevie Wonder to Buckwheat. Of course, some would argue that his best role was as himself, and there is plenty of evidence for that--many of the skits feature Murphy au naturel and the opening sequence is taken from his monologue when he returned to the show triumphantly after leaving for Hollywood. Exploring the world around him and finding laughs everywhere, Murphy can take a simple idea (such as the "James Brown Hot Tub Party") and run wild with it, leaving the audience hysterically begging for more. You don't have to be a fan to enjoy this collection, but odds are you'll be one by the time you're finished. --Rob Lightner

Rating:  - OLD BUT NOT EXACTLY GOOD STUFF
It was okay, but the clips from the 80's weren't all that good, maybe over the years; my perception on funny stuff has changed.
Rating:  - Eddie At His Best !
This is Eddie Murphy before all of the family friendly movies which have seemed to define his career as of late. This is an edgy & extremeley funny Murphy. Here are some highlights: There is the Eddie as Jessie Jackson, clamoring for Jewish votes in a very not so politically correct sketch. There is Eddie as BuckWheat which, while funny, also has a serious undertone concerning the sensationalization of topics in the media. There is Eddie as Velvet Jones, who simply wants to help women get out ... Read More
Rating:  - Eddie is wonderful!!!
I love this DVD... It shows the actual footage of Eddie's characters on SNL... **** The only thing that I did not like about this DVD is that it is only for an hour...
Rating:  - How About A 'Best Of' SNL By Year?
How about making 'Best Of' Saturday Night Live by year? Not by host, not something with interviews and commentary, just best skits only and by year. Best of 1978, Best Of 1986, Best Of 1994, etc...
Rating:  - Not what I expected.
The DVD blacked out and some of the scenes I rememberd from watching it previously were deleted.
