Eddie Murphy and David Spade are cool 30 years after SNL joke
Feb 23, 2025
Thirty years after delivering a devastating blow to Eddie Murphy, David Spade and his one-time target are all good.
“Look, children, it’s a falling star, make a wish.” It was the one-liner that launched a Saturday Night Live feud we didn’t know was possible. Delivered by David Spade on his recurring Spade in America segment of SNL, the burn was directed at Eddie Murphy, who at that point in 1995 was on a low-light streak with duds like Boomerang, Beverly Hills Cop III and Vampire in Brooklyn. But 30 years on, Spade and Murphy have apparently patched things up, with the two recently meeting up at the SNL50 special.
While Eddie Murphy has been open that David Spade’s joke went too far — especially considering the legacy he had cemented on SNL — the two are apparently cool now. “People asked me if I’m tight with Eddie Murphy. Everything bad has evaporated….There’s absolutely no anything anymore. Everyone was cool. He was in sketches, he was upbeat… walked past him on the way into the show and he put his arm back and blocked me, and so I had to say hi and give him a hug. He was super cool. Dapped him up…We were friendly, we should’ve taken a picture, ‘cause it was fun to see him, and then there was no weird vibes at the show. It was all good.”
