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

 A disappointment, for sure November 13, 2008
This was not very funny. It lacked a lot of the subtle intellectual nuances that comedy usually brings. I found it very dated and dull. There were some skits that were mildly amusing, but not funny. I wish I had never made this purchase.
OLD BUT NOT EXACTLY GOOD STUFF February 8, 2008
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.
 Eddie At His Best ! January 14, 2008
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 of their "ho-hum" lives and into meaning employment. There is Eddie as James Brown, and it's simply classic. There is Eddie as Stevie Wonder (and Joe Piscapoe as Frank Sinatra) in another classic skit. I dare you not to laugh! All in all, this is Eddie as a starving artist. During this period of his career, he pushed boundaries, made you think about some serious issues, and most importantly made you laugh!
 Eddie is wonderful!!! October 10, 2007
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...
 How About A 'Best Of' SNL By Year? June 23, 2007

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...
