10. Murphy Doesn’t Think He Got Enough Credit for Saving the Show in the 80s

Rumor has it Eddie Murphy had a falling out with Lorne Michaels and some of the cast after leaving SNL. Apparently the comedian doesn’t think he got enough credit for saving the show back in the ’80s. He was oddly absent from any Saturday Night Live reunions or specials prior to a brief (and awkward) appearance on the 40th Anniversary, and some say the reason he never came back is due to a quip David Spade once made on camera about Murphy being a “falling star”. Spade claims that he received an irate call from Murphy the week after.
