Arsenio sucked as a talk show host, you all just like him for one reason...lol... He was a terrible interviewer, very biased, ignorant and unfunny! Now Eddie, that man had and has incredible talent and comedic timing!
switchbuckle5th So much better than the high water pants crawling up your ass and the jackets so tight that every time you move the seams pop like rice krispies
Uncle Ray dated my aunt when I was in High School. He kept talking about his funny nephew on SNL and that was the sole reason why I started to tune in back then. My aunt regaled us with stories of hangouts at Rick James’ house. Fun times!
Eddie's got that natural comedic gift - his humour never seems to be forced. I love how he brought out Uncle Ray - at least Uncle Ray got to show off his tap dancing skills on national TV.
Uncle Ray was in 'Coming To America', the scene where Aikeem and Semi rent an apartment in that run-down building, Uncle Ray plays the guy who falls down the steps and gets yelled at by the super and lets out a low-pich fart, hillarious!
Seriously... If you don't know, you don't know but back in the day, this is what hangin' out with the elders was like. The best food, wheezing and tears. There were were no better times!
Arsenio Hall was hilarious in the movie and the show is my favorite to watch over and over again. Loved all the cast and wish Eddie would direct more movies!!
I'm sure he's still that funny today, per all his friends like Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Jerry and other still say Eddie have them dying when they are together
Eddie looks like a million bucks here (jewellery, suit etc)!! You can tell he was on the top of his game by the late 80s after all the big comedy specials (Delirious, Raw) and the big blockbuster films (ie 48 hours, Beverly hills cop etc)
You know what you wanna do. You just don’t go after it. That’s true facts from a legend who’s successful. That’s true inspiration from where he was then to where he is now. Much love to Eddie!!!
"I think you know , you know what you're supposed to do, a lot of people just don't go for it . Like most people start out and say 'I wanna be a this, but Ima get that to make sure i have something to fall back on' and what you're doing is setting yourself up for failure you're goin 'there's a possibility Ima fall back, so when you put that out there you fall back. If you say this what I want this is what I'm going to do you usually get your stuff the way you want it man".
I appreciate the comment PhamNet. I take the Henry Ford approach to life. I ignore the things I can't do, and double down on the energy toward things I can do. If you haven't read Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill or Listened to any of Jim rohn's free infomation you are doing your psyche, goals, and surroudings a huge disservice . And as a side note Spudd Webb was my 8th grade height (5'7") playing NBA ball. So don't worry about "everyone can't" you worry about "What can I do" and "What's possible for me". *Steps off soap box*
Andre Cymone I don't disagree with you and a vast number of athletes weren't necessarily the best 'built' for what they do. I was really only referring to the Michael Phelps and Michael Jordans of the world. You can choose ur path at an early age just as most athletes do these days and do well, eg. Andre Agassi who IMO wasn't the best built for tennis but reached the pinnacle of pro tennis. Basically in a nutshell, my point is that if a child were trained from a young age like most modern pro athletes have done, lets say that this child grows up to become the perfect human specimen for the sport, then you got a Michael Phelps. Otherwise you got a Ryan Lochte.
NATURAL COMEDIANS...I love them and their friendship and I now love Uncle Ray... and Spike is Incredible..and amazing... Yall know he do look like a cricket...
This show was always so awesome growing up! Anytime Eddie Murphy and Arsenio got together it was always memorable. I wish they made more movies together, peace. Thanks for sharing! :)
That movie killed Eddie Murphy... He got such bad reviews that it took him over 20 years before he was able to watch it again. It is a cult classic and Eddie you did great as a director! I wished you never listen to those haters!
Their Kids at Heart and Best Freinds Forever!! Also, What's Funny is that people say Eddie is not the same as he use to be.....Let me tell you he's still the same Eddie, Always has and Always will be....Celebs are Humans and do have bad days like the rest of us!!!
I salute you all,Arsenio,Uncle Ray,and Eddie,I used too attend the Arsenio Hall show back in the days,I got to get in the Dogg Pound,I met Arsenio at a party,he gave me a autogragh,miss you and your show,we sho party,party baby!
Great interview with Eddie murphy conducted by his Coming to America costar Arsenio hall. Eddie's interviews has always to me been the most indepths that ive ever seen! He always give the interviewer and the viewers deep insights on his family and his remarkable career which has involved stand-up,acting and singing, incredible!!! And in addition to all that he discusses his all time classic comedy movie Harlem night in this interview. Remarkable talented man to be able to direct a treasured classic movie like Harlem nights,star in it and bring together his idol legendary funny man Richard pryor,redd foxx, arsenio hall himself and others. I'll always love your work eddie, your the best!!!
You can tell Eddie and Arsenio aren’t just friends, they are family. It deeper than just blood. This is a lifetime friendship (Family).
Not anymore. They had a huge falling out.
Na they just seem like friends
what happened @@sachah2400
Ok Vin Diesel
they are lovers
ARSENIO HALL SHOW WAS THE SHIT BACK IN THE DAYS.
Faxs!
he is gr8, btw he seems gay, why he never came out ?
@@alfonsobossi1402 Man...why does that even matter in any context?
Facts
Coming Back To America 2 in 2021. Yay 😁
Eddie saying Spike Lee looks like a cricket had me in tears in 2019! Yeah, this comedy is timeless!!
He does though..lol
Never thought about it.
Yeah I didn't hear anything else after that... then uncle ray walked out in that t-shirt! !!! I was DONE !!!
😂
Arsenio’s laughing but at the same time knew that Spike would never come back on his show again, and I don’t think he ever did
@@jennifersman7990 Nah,Spike made appearences after that. To promote Jungle Fever and Malcolm X.
I'll take Arsenio over any of these Talk show hosts today, any day and twice on Sunday
Amen brother
He's kind of fake and the top of his head is too flat!
Arsenio sucked as a talk show host, you all just like him for one reason...lol...
He was a terrible interviewer, very biased, ignorant and unfunny!
Now Eddie, that man had and has incredible talent and comedic timing!
Joe Rogan tops the lot
@Sean R It didn't survive in the pc era
Eddie and Arsenio in the back rolling!! That was the funnest part.
that was funny as hell.
mean ass boys. lol
Echo Waves it sure was 😂😂😂 I laugh every time
Spike Lee looks like a cricket! 💀💀💀
Lmao

I was crying when he said that 😂😂😂
I bet they now wish peas was their boyfriend!
I was dyin 💀💀💀
🤣
I just love Eddie Murphy, he was able to get through the 80s era w/o having any drug issues.
Or any police issues! Bravo Eddie👏👏👏👏
And they you watch his latest movies, and go like: He´s finally catched up
@@ticowayne6691 umm you do remember him picking up a transgender prostitute in West Hollywood don’t you in like the late 90’s? Lol 😂
@@aconater i remember that story but i did not believe it! Lol
@@ticowayne6691 it wasn’t a story it actually happened
I love it when Eddie says “ he can still tap but nobody care.” 😂 That’s the Eddie I remember. Soooo funny😂😂😂😂
The he sets up his uncle to dance just for a cheap as laugh. He knows that his uncle is going to give it his all like its his big break
@@MrConcice13They did the same thing yrs earlier on Dick Cavett. Uncle Ray really is funny in his own old school way.
For real, took my ass out😂😂😂
30 years later and this is still hilarious! 🤣
Same here ! This popped in my mind today and I had to search it- still laughed my ass off ! Just AWESOME!🤣
I bet the Murphy family had some good laughs with Eddie, Charlie and Uncle Ray.
I still love his talk show better than anybody else.
ME TOO HES THE BEST.
The Arsenio Hall Show is a great talk show fo life!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
When suits were classy and comfortably loose fitted.
I'm glad somebody said it.About the classy loose fitting suits that is.
You mean baggy and poorly tailored?
@@switchbuckle5th no... he means lose & comfortable. Go the hell on with your stuffy lame self.
switchbuckle5th So much better than the high water pants crawling up your ass and the jackets so tight that every time you move the seams pop like rice krispies
@@thelibertine9656 the 20, 30s, 40s, 80,90,00s were awful decades for the dress suit.
That is crazy, you can see Richard Pryor in Eddie while he talks.
That man had such an influence on Eddie Murphy. It's beautiful.
@@TheLouis3877
That's your only concern? You seem suspect homey.
TheLouis3877 you sound really gay
@@TheLouis3877 damn why the disrespect
Great to see Akheem and Semi together again, they lost their Zamunda accents, though...
😆
😂
My "African Connection".
They lost the accent after sowing their royal oats
Bark like a dog...
This interview is still funny even today.
Damn, Eddie laughing at his uncle tap dancing had me dying😂
Sarah Garza sooo wrong but yep in tears
☠🤣☠🤣☠🤣☠🤣☠🤣☠🤣☠🤣 I'm typing this a half hour later....I've been screaming laughing at that!!

Uncle Ray dated my aunt when I was in High School. He kept talking about his funny nephew on SNL and that was the sole reason why I started to tune in back then. My aunt regaled us with stories of hangouts at Rick James’ house. Fun times!
I truly miss Arsenio Hall Show it was hilariously funny 😆👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
good ole' dayz with Eddie & Arsenio, nostalgia haha.

How hard was it for ARSENIO to interview his good friend Eddie Murphy like they weren't going to go party right after
They're about to go hang.
Eddie's got that natural comedic gift - his humour never seems to be forced. I love how he brought out Uncle Ray - at least Uncle Ray got to show off his tap dancing skills on national TV.
This is a real audience not that pre recorded shit today on these "boring go sleep" talk shows.
Exactly, they have that ole fake laugh track where "insert" laughter cause most of the shows on now ain't funny
a fortune teller said someone was gonna be very famous in my family so my dad and my uncle went into show biz LOL
Tht was hella funny
Lol, it skipped a generation. Eddie & Charlie Murphy became famous.
Yes they took tap dancing classes, that was classic
eddie murphy was dying of laughter when his uncle ray was tap dancing lol
"He looks like a cricket" arsenio's reaction was the best
I love how Eddie would always invite his family and entourage on talk shows with him.... this is classic uncle ray
Eddie cracking up at Uncle Ray tapping - priceless!
Love Uncle Ray
Rolling on the floor literally😆😆😆😆😆
that fool said Spike Lee look like a cricket😂😂😂😂😂
Gerr'e Douglas he did. I always called him Jimmy the Cricket
I always loved when Arsenio had Eddie Murphy on. So funny!
Spike somewhere thinkin "I'm fine". Lolol 😆
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Everything eddie said was absolutely true about how people treat you when you just a regular person
Well said
That's the Murphy Act. The way he behaves is himself believing he's a good walking the earth. Dont let Prime Time fool ya!
Everytime Eddie and Arsenio get together I'm in tears laughing, last night's Arsenio Hall episode had me rolling felt like the old days
That jacket Arsenio is wearing gave that nostalgic feeling about the 90's
Absolutely. I had a few similar Blazers in the 90s...✌💨🏃
bullfranthrow big ass shoulder pads🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, my dad had a lot of those suits with the big ass shoulders.
Man Eddie was sharp. The 90s were the last good generation. That film was classic too.
Lol Eddie STUPID called that man out there AND HIT THE FLOOR WHEN HE STARTED TAP DANCING, LOL HE WRONG FOR THAT
Arsenio's laughing spells and antics, from the opening bits of this clip. Lol
Keenan ivory wayans was dead on about this shit in his parodies lol.
Yes he was!😂🤣🤣Those Arsenio gestures are spot on.😂🤣😂🤣
Arsenio and Keenan were great friends, so it made it easy for him to do a great impression.
prazertv arsenio didn’t like those skits about him and his heavy obsession with Eddie. But it was funny as fuck tho
I'm dying over this clip in 2019 Eddie is the King
Oh my goodness Eddie was on the floor!! LOL!! This was one of the BEST late night talk shows!
lol The way Arsenio and Eddie are ROFL in the background while Uncle Ray was tap dancing.
LMAO.... They ain't sh!t for clowning Uncle Ray... hahaha
Meko Blu rip uncle ray! one love!
Meko Blu lmao. .they feel down laughing at uncle Ray doing a tap dance
Meko Blu uncle was had it lit
Meko Blu they was dying laughing!!!😂😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Meko Blu ur GORGEOUS
I remember watching this when it originally aired. STILL cracks me up! LOL
This clip just reeks of sincerity. The kind of genuine humor and good times that transpires among friends when the cameras are off.
“Don’t be pullin’ that fallin’ down the the steps sh!$...you conscious!!
Uncle Ray was in 'Coming To America', the scene where Aikeem and Semi rent an apartment in that run-down building, Uncle Ray plays the guy who falls down the steps and gets yelled at by the super and lets out a low-pich fart, hillarious!
LMFAOOOO I just known it now, and that makes it even funnier HAHAHAHAHA
Mark Mosley imma go back n watch it now to see uncle Ray!!!
He also played Willie in harlem nights. He blew up Bugsy Calhoun's club.
He also named his character in life for his uncle . “Rayford”
I had no idea thanks for the tip😊 he was so funny guy
Seriously...
If you don't know, you don't know but back in the day, this is what hangin' out with the elders was like. The best food, wheezing and tears. There were were no better times!
Arsenio Hall was hilarious in the movie and the show is my favorite to watch over and over again. Loved all the cast and wish Eddie would direct more movies!!
Michael Gordon Penn
Almost forgot how funny eddie was in his prime! 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
I'm sure he's still that funny today, per all his friends like Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Jerry and other still say Eddie have them dying when they are together
@@michaelcar9268 they're all smoking dope...although I imagine Eddie Murphy is still funny
I am such a product of what I saw as a young man, this is who I am! What a great time to have lived and witnessed that greatness!!!
Sorry Eddie is 10 ties better than Kevin hart
Why are you sorry? It's true. Hell, I don't think Kevin Hart is funny at all.
Kevin Hart might be the ha ha now, but Eddie is a legend. Will he achieve longevity? We'll see.
Amen antij1.
yes sir u are a genius eddie Murphy is an icon Kevin hart got a lot of work 2 do still 2 get Eddie's status
YAAAS but Eddie Murphy really does look like Uncle Ray now.
You can tell Samuel L Jackson's character in Eddie's 'Raw' was based off uncle Ray. "I love that doo doo line."
"Spike Lee looks like a cricket! That's friggen jokes! lol.
B-boy StuntZ "Worked security for 40Acres on sets and he does look like a cricket!"
@@DLR-ft8vl 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
at 3:26😂😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣Arsenio took like 30 seconds trying to Regain his composure, he got knocked out with That Cricket shit😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣✌
Yeah he fucked Spike up with that
BRUH I WAS dead 💀
Uncle Ray was in Harlem Nights also.
He was in Coming To America too. He played Stu that fell down the stairs 😂
@@lionelkennedy1394 wow!!!!!!!!!
Eddie put his whole family on and close friends 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Eddie looks like a million bucks here (jewellery, suit etc)!! You can tell he was on the top of his game by the late 80s after all the big comedy specials (Delirious, Raw) and the big blockbuster films (ie 48 hours, Beverly hills cop etc)
Eddie is a genius in his best movies.. always
Paul Heisenberg do you think Steve Harvey is a genius? also do you think dl hughley is a genius?
Dude said spike look like a cricket omg
I need a friend who laughs at my jokes like Arsenio
I miss this Eddie Murphy. The greatest comedian ever to me. Richard Pryor 2.0
So do i, i grew up watching and being so enthralled by him in his movies.
You can see a lot of a Richard Pryor influence shining through here from Eddie.
uncle ray looks like john sally
You know what you wanna do. You just don’t go after it. That’s true facts from a legend who’s successful. That’s true inspiration from where he was then to where he is now. Much love to Eddie!!!
This was funnier than most of today’s comedians careers. “My boyfriend ain’t no peas”
"I think you know , you know what you're supposed to do, a lot of people just don't go for it . Like most people start out and say 'I wanna be a this, but Ima get that to make sure i have something to fall back on' and what you're doing is setting yourself up for failure you're goin 'there's a possibility Ima fall back, so when you put that out there you fall back. If you say this what I want this is what I'm going to do you usually get your stuff the way you want it man".
You can want to be something, but you're constrained to your own abilities. Not everyone can be the fastest man in the world or the UFC champ.

NATURAL COMEDIANS...I love them and their friendship and I now love Uncle Ray... and Spike is Incredible..and amazing... Yall know he do look like a cricket...
I was laughing at Eddie and Arsenio laughing at Uncle Ray! That was gold!
1989 was a great year. Those times were much different than in today's world. I'd go back to that time if I could.
This show was always so awesome growing up! Anytime Eddie Murphy and Arsenio got together it was always memorable. I wish they made more movies together, peace. Thanks for sharing! :)
Seriously my two favorites in show biz! Sure miss back in the day how they used to CRACK me up!!

Facts. It is a classic.
Harlem Nights? I love it
Harlem nights is a classic.
All the critics were white and didn't understand "black" humor.
Uncle Ray was the backbone for Charlie, Eddie and Vernon❤
Ed who parted your hair....Moses.
You must be a young white boy who don't have a clue about the 80's and early 90's

One of my favorite Clips of all time!! Loved Arsenio as a teen and of course Eddie... :D
Ray didn't act the clown , it's called sense of humour . RIP uncle ray ..
I agree,plus it tied in the fortune teller story..lol
I just realized how much his delivery mirrored Richard Pryor. Down to the voice
Yup, and there's a little Cosby there too.
