Eddie Murphy

In 1983, Eddie Murphy was not quite the mega-star he would become, but by the time Comedian came out he had become a household name. Although the homophobia is a bit much to take in this day and age, he doesn't display the arrogance that ruined his standup act by the time of Raw. Get past the anti-gay negativity and Eddie does truly astonishing singer impersonations, gets plenty of Pryor-worthy laughs and even makes some light political insights. As always, any time he talks about his father ("The Barbecue") he takes it to another level.
