Eddie Murphy will soon be giving Saturday Night Live fans a Christmas present. The actor and comedian wants to resurrect his classic characters from the late-night sketch-comedy when he makes a return to the SNL stage in December for the first time in more than 30 years.
Murphy, who will guest host Saturday Night Live’s Christmas episode on Dec. 21, told late-night host Jimmy Kimmel (via You Tube) that if he has any say in it he’d like to revive some of his most famous characters from his original turn on SNL back in the 1980s.
“I’m gonna do Gumby. And I’m trying to figure out some reason to do Velvet Jones. And, uh, Mr. Robinson’s Neighborhood, And a funny Buckwheat sketch.”
Of course, longtime fans of SNL know the iconic characters that Murphy is referring to.
