"In Rolling Stone's February 2015 appraisal of all 141 SNL cast members to date, Murphy was ranked second (behind John Belushi). "It is customary (and accurate) to say that Eddie Murphy is the only reason SNL survived the five-year wilderness without Lorne Michaels", the magazine noted."

Years ago I was at a bar with a bunch of old buddies. Unexpectedly we met some other people from our hometown who were visiting friends in the city we lived in. Some of them I hadn't seen for something like 20 years.

One of them tells me she remembered me fondly as a sweet guy, always ready to help etc. Her frond replies that's funny cause I remember you being kind of a dick and very full of yourself. So just be yourself and other people be damned.
