With the trailer for the James Brown biopic now out for people to watch I just thought it would be appropriate I share one of my favorite scenes from the many years of watching Saturday Night Live.
Before he became a mega superstar during the 80’s, Eddie Murphy was just part of the ever-changing cast of comedians for Saturday Night Live. One of the funniest skits had Eddie as James Brown doing the intro to his very own talk show, Celebrity Hot Tub.

How I long for the days when SNL was actually laugh out loud funny. Not just LOL. Actually “laugh out loud.” And it really was. In those years, and the years prior with Chevy Chase, Gilda Radner, John Belushi and the rest of the original Not Ready for Prime Time Players, I never wanted to miss an episode. Now, I set the DVR and am always disappointed. I end up sitting here rating sketches, saying, “Not funny at all,” “Fair,” “Why?” What a shame. Thanks for posting.
