According to several reports, Eddie Murphy is negotiating with Netflix for an unnamed number of stand-up comedy specials that would see him earn a whopping $70 million.
Eddie Murphy Raw and Delirious are considered to be amongst the best stand-up comedy specials ever made, which were released when Murphy was at the height of his powers in the 80s.
Eddie Murphy is one of the true pioneers of stand-up comedy, but it’s something he hasn’t done for a very long time.
In addition to the possible specials, Eddie Murphy is also set to star in Dolemite Is My Name! for Netflix, which is expected to arrive later this year.
