*During Netflix’s AFI Life Achievement Award special honoring Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle reflected on both a recent conversation with the comedy icon and the lasting impact of Eddie’s late brother, Charlie Murphy.
Chappelle recalled a visit with Murphy, when the two discussed not only their shared history in sketch comedy but also the possibility of revisiting “Chappelle’s Show” in a film format, EW reports. According to Chappelle, Murphy even suggested the idea himself, saying, “Man, you should do a Chappelle’s Show movie or something like that.”
That exchange framed Chappelle’s appearance during the tribute, where he balanced memories of creative collaboration with more personal reflections tied to the Murphy family’s influence on his work.
“Chappelle’s Show was very difficult to do, but it was one of the greatest experiences of my life, and one of the reasons that it was great was your brother Charlie,” Chappelle said. “Charlie used to tell us stories all day about your ascension to fame, and I just want you to know, every time he mentioned you, he always said how proud he was of you. He said, ‘I love my brother.’”
Charlie Murphy died in 2017 at the age of 57 after a battle with leukemia. He became widely recognized for his appearances on “Chappelle’s Show,” which ran from 2003 to 2006. He was especially known for the “Charlie Murphy’s True Hollywood Stories” segments, including the infamous Prince basketball story, which became one of the show’s most iconic and defining moments.
During the tribute, Chappelle joked about a potential “Chappelle’s Show” movie, suggesting a way to incorporate Charlie’s legacy as well, saying, “So Eddie, if I do it, [you] do the Charlie parts, and let’s f—ing go.”
The AFI tribute special celebrating Eddie Murphy is now streaming on Netflix.
