Eddie Murphy returns to ‘Saturday Night Live’ this weekend!

This Saturday, Dec. 21st actor/comedian Eddie Murphy will return to studio 8H to host Saturday Night Live!

Murphy’s appearance on the SNL stage will mark his first hosting gig in 35 years. Murphy, of course, all but single-handedly saved the show back in the early 1980s after the great Not Ready For Prime Time Players cast went Hollywood.

Take a look at this dramatic promo with this weeks musical guest Lizzo playing in the background. You have to admit this definitely helps build the anticipation for Murphy‘s return!
