It should also be recognized that Murphy’s alluded-to appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live not only features Murphy doing an impression of Morgan, but also discussing that he was the first person to make the 30 Rock star laugh following the car crash that left him hospitalized in 2014.
Clearly there is a lot of love there.
It was later during that same day of interviews that I learned from Eddie Murphy that Tracy Morgan was his first pick to play his son in Coming 2 America, but ultimately it was decided that it wouldn’t work because the age difference wasn’t right.
