Bill Cosby’s Rep Slammed Eddie Murphy From Prison For Joking About Him On “Saturday Night Live”

Eddie Murphy was the host of Saturday Night Live‘s Christmas episode and he was pretty good, which makes sense since he’s a comedian and used to work on the show in the 80s. He brought along a bunch of A-list black comedians for his opening monolgue like Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle and Tracy Morgan. And in that same monologue he made a joke about former comedian and current remorseless convicted criminal, Bill Cosby. Well, Bill Cosby’s rep earned his Christmas bonus (good luck getting it) by keeping Cosby’s name out there and slapping Eddie Murphy for the joke.

So this is the harmless Bill Cosby joke that Eddie Murphy made during his opening monologue:

“But if you would have told me 30 years ago that I would be this boring, stay-at-home house dad and Bill Cosby would be in jail, even I woulda took that bet. Who is America’s dad now?!”

Here’s Eddie saying those words:

Bill has long-asserted that he’s a civil rights icon and still “America’s Dad” and so his publicist, Andrew Wyatt, put out a statement on Instagram where he called Eddie Murphy a Hollywood Slave and said other things that are extremely reasonable to say over the most harmless Cosby joke I’ve ever heard.

Bill Cosby’s Publicist, Andrew Wyatt, responds to Eddie Murphy’s SNL Monologue: “Mr. Cosby became the first Black to win an Emmy for his role in I Spy and Mr. Cosby broke color barriers in the Entertainment Industry, so that Blacks like Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappell, Kevin Hart and et al., could have an opportunity to showcase their talents for many generations to come. It is sad that Mr. Murphy would take this glorious moment of returning to SNL and make disparaging remarks against Mr. Cosby. One would think that Mr. Murphy was given his freedom to leave the plantation, so that he could make his own decisions; but he decided to sell himself back to being a Hollywood Slave. Stepin Fetchit plus cooning equals the destruction of Black Men in Hollywood. Remember, Mr. Murphy, that Bill Cosby became legendary because he used comedy to humanize all races, religions and genders; but your attacking Mr. Cosby helps you embark on just becoming click bait. Hopefully, you will be amenable to having a meeting of the minds conversation, in order to discuss how we can use our collective platforms to enhance Black people rather than bringing all of us down together.” #NotFunnySNL #SNL #FarFromFinished #FreeBillCosby #BillCosby

Whatever this fight is over who is “America’s Dad”, Eddie Murphy is probably going to take it. Apart from the fact that he hasn’t been charged with molesting anyone, he also has ten kids while Bill Cosby has five. So numerically speaking: Eddie Murphy is technically father to more of America than Bill. Numbers don’t lie! And you know what? Neither did Janice Dickinson.
