I know that a lot here don't stay up as late as I do and this was a historic show with the return of Eddie Murphy.

His original Gumby had greenface (with white around the eyes). Its exclusion didn't affect the sketch one bit (it was still hilarious), but I noticed the change immediately.

She's throws a little Harry Caray in there.

Funny as hell though.

The Gumby part really had very few jokes in it but Eddie is just funny. I'd never heard of Gumby growing up. It wasn't on here or at least I never saw it. Eddie makes him into an angry old showbiz Jewish guy. I'm watching it again.
