The 6 Best Moments From Eddie Murphy’s Return to 'SNL'

Murphy started the show with a monologue, where he talked about being a father and the birth of his son last year. “That means I have ten kids now,” the comedian quipped. “Eleven if you count Kevin Hart.” Later in the intro, he was joined by some of the biggest from the generation he influenced: Tracy Morgan, Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock.

Die-hard fans cheered for the return of Mister Robinson. And the Mr. Rogers spoof couldn’t have come at a better time. Mister Robinson explained a lot has changed since his last go-around -- he’s older, wiser and now a property squatter.

Murphy brought back fan favorite Gumby during the Weekend Update segment. The audience weren’t the only ones loving it. ScarJo’s hubby Colin Jost lost it right on stage.

Watch this bizarre sketch, where the “Masked Singer” judges try to guess who’s in that Corn on the Cob costume.

These days, no “SNL” cold open is complete without the requisite political spoof. The cast did a hilarious take on this past Thursday’s democratic debate, with other “SNL” alum Larry David returning for his only non-Larry David role as Bernie Sanders.
