Charlie Murphy had co-starred in various sketches on Chappelle’s Show, and was also an uncredited writer, but two of the show’s most popular sketches ever were his “Charlie Murphy’s True Hollywood Story” sketches about the late musician Prince and Rick James.
Charlie Murphy, the older brother of legendary comedian Eddie Murphy and star of the iconic comedy series Chappelle’s Show, has passed away at the age of 57.
The sketches were based on true stories Charlie Murphy experienced alongside his iconic brother in the 1980s.
Charlie Murphy is survived by his three children, and is preceded in death by his wife Tisha Taylor Murphy, who he was married to from 1997 until her death in 2009.
