Description
This week, Krista takes a look back at her 2019 conversation with Eddie Murphy. At this year's Golden Globes, Murphy received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for "outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment.” During his acceptance speech, Murphy mentioned that he’s been in show business for 46 years, and in the movie business for 41. It’s incredible to reckon with the legacy Murphy has created, and in this conversation, he reflects on his career path – from being inspired as a kid by Muhammad Ali, to starting stand up at 15, eventually getting cast on SNL, and beyond.
