The Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary Special was chock-full of stars, including cast members from yesterday and today.
One of the most exciting moments was seeing Eddie Murphy back on the stage for the first time in 30 years!

But why did he do so little? We mean, he didn’t even do a sketch!
Well, according to fellow former castmate Norm Macdonald, he was supposed to do one — and it was going to be the most controversial of the night!
So why didn’t we see Eddie as Bill Cosby during the Celebrity Jeopardy sketch?
Norm took to Twitter to explain the sketch idea — and why Eddie backed out:
No argument that Eddie Murphy is cool.
But we don’t know if making fun of a guy while he’s accused of sexual assault by a couple dozen women constitutes “kicking a man when he is down.”
Should Eddie have done the sketch as planned?
What do U think??
