The Long-Time Comedian Helped Bolster The Show

Murphy rose to fame because of his time on Saturday Night Live from 1980 to 1984, bringing to life various classic characters that have become part of the show's history. This includes characters like Mr. Robinson, a parody of Mister Rogers, and a more deadpan version of Gumby, which became one of the most recognized of his various roles. While Murphy's best movies don't always embrace the same kind of humor, SNL was clearly an influence on how successful his comedy career became.

As for his reappearances, he's come back to the show at different major points in time. He made a speech during SNL's 40th anniversary, but didn't participate in any of the sketches. However, Murphy later won an Emmy for hosting SNL in 2020, permanently cementing himself as a long-term contributor to the comedy series. His 50th anniversary appearances showed how well he can still mesh with the show, interacting with stars new and old, willing to break the mold to create memorable moments.
