New To You ep307: What Happened!? Pt3

Eddie Murphy (actor, comedian, musician)

Keith’s love of the movie “Coming to America” has him asking ‘What Happened’ to Eddie Murphy.

After his rise as a comedian and then as a member of SNL he became a consistent movie star. Coming to America presents a mainstream comedy with a mostly black cast- something that was not often seen at the time.

Eddie Murphy took on a number of characters, often in extensive makeup, a choice that later became a gimmick in movies like “The Clumps.”

You can rent or purchase Coming to America in Amazon and iTunes. 

NEXT WEEK: We conclude What Happened?! with The Strokes!.
