How are you?

I'm good.

How are you?

It's so good to see you always.

It's good.

I don't see you enough.

I'd like to see you more often.

I love Ellen.

I love Ellen.

I love you.

[CHEERING]

I love you.

And yet, I had the opportunity to go to your house

and hang out with you.

And I didn't go.

Yeah.

You didn't come to that party.

Yeah.

Because it was like after 10:00.

[LAUGHTER]

Everybody went around 11 o'clock at night.

Yeah.

Well, I couldn't go, because we had the baby.

And she was breastfeeding.

So I couldn't go.

I was in the house, anyway.

Right.

So I went to this party.

And there were about 20 of us.

And Eddie couldn't go, because he just had the baby.

And then he told everyone to come to his house afterwards.

And so everybody went.

And everyone came but Ellen.

Everyone.

Aw.

And I heard how great it was.

And you have like an arcade there.

Tig Notaro was playing--

Yeah, yeah.

--basketball in there.

But you had just had the baby.

You're like me.

You don't like to leave the house.

I'm a homebody.

Right.

Except lately, you're not a homebody.

Now, you're doing all kinds of things.

You're about to host Saturday Night Live, which

is going to be so exciting.

[CHEERING]

That's going to be--

are you excited?

Yeah, I am.

But why now after all of these years?

I kind of wanted to go back after-- they

had the 40th anniversary thing a few years back.

And when I went there, and I saw everybody,

and I saw all of the other actors, and actresses,

and the people, and the crew, I got this big burst

of nostalgia.

And I started feeling like, oh, I want to go back.

So I've been wanting to go back there since then.

We only wanted to go at the right time, though.

And Dolomite made it the perfect time.

Because we've got a funny movie.

Right.

[INAUDIBLE]

Yeah.

We're going to talk about--

I wanted to show up there.

Yeah.

We'll talk about Dolomite.

But if you haven't seen My Name Is Dolomite, it's fantastic.

And you're incredible in it.

Oh, thank you.

I think you're going to get nominated for an Oscar,

for sure.

[CHEERING]

So now, Tom Hanks has this Mr. Rogers movie out.

And you had this character Mr. Robinson,

right, that you did on Saturday Night Live.

And I heard you met Mr. Rogers when you were doing it.

Yeah.

I met him at NBC, and he was really nice.

Well, sure, he was Mr. Rogers.

Yeah.

[LAUGHTER]

I think he liked what we were doing.

Because, you know, we weren't making fun of him.

Right.

You know?

Right.

So will you do--

Because I love Mr.-- there.

Look.

Yeah.

He was the sweetest man.

Yeah.

Look how big my nose was.

[LAUGHTER]

That's not a good angle.

Yeah.

I don't think the nose--

No.

You know what It is?

I have a thicker mustache now.

So actually, it's the same nose.

This is camouflage.

Yeah.

[LAUGHTER]

Since this is longer, this looks shorter.

Yeah.

I say smart you figured that out.

Yeah.

You didn't have that knowledge back then.

Well, years and years of seeing photos and going,

is that my nose?

[LAUGHTER]

I'm very excited about everything

that you have going on, especially

since you are such a homebody.

You just finished Coming to America 2.

Yes.

How great is that?

[CHEERING]

Yes.

I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Because that movie more than any picture that I've done--

I don't know what it is in the culture-- where

like on Halloween, some people get dressed up

as characters from the movie.

So a lot of people that had this expectation, were like,

you know, don't--

people would say to me when they found out I was doing it,

don't [BLEEP] that movie up.

Don't mess with it.

And I would say, what?

So we've gone above and beyond what anybody would think.

I'm really, really happy with it.

That's fantastic.

That's great to hear.

But you do all of these characters.

And that seems like such a hassle

to be in all of that makeup.

I mean, how many hours are you in makeup

to do all of those characters?

How many characters do you do in that film?

In this new one?

Yeah.

Well, I have all of the old characters

from the first one-- the old Jewish guy,

and the barber, and the prince, and Randy Watson.

And now, I do this--

[LAUGHTER]

--an old farmer I'm doing, so maybe it's five or six now.

Wow.

Do you like doing that, sitting in--

You know, every time I do a makeup movie,

I always say, this is the last time I'm doing this [BLEEP]..

[LAUGHTER]

And then I always wind up back in the makeup chair.

Do you forget you say that?

No.

Just something that-- I say I'm never doing it again.

And then something will happen years later

where it kind of makes sense to do it.

It was like-- So I'm never doing it again, now.

All right.

Well, we'll show you this tape.

So, as we just mentioned, you have this new baby,

who is now a year old, right?

My new son, yes.

Yeah, is a year old.

And you have 10 children.

Yes.

10 children.

See the reaction when you say--

[LAUGHTER]

Does it seem like a lot to you, or does that seem OK?

No, it seems OK.

It's funny the reaction the audience gives.

Yeah.

Men kind of look at me like this, he's crazy.

How much does that [BLEEP] cost?

[LAUGHTER]

And women is kind of like, there's something

sexy about it, I think.

Yeah.

Eddie Murphy must be doing his thing.

Yeah.

[LAUGHTER]

You're doing your thing.

Eddie Murphy be getting it in.

Yeah, yeah.

[LAUGHTER]

He don't be [BLEEP].

Well, it is a lot, and especially they're

ages like 1 to like 30, right?

Yeah.

My oldest is 30, and my youngest is 1.

And I just had my first grandchild.

Oh, congratulations.

[CHEERING]

That's fantastic.

Oh, there they are.

There they are.

And how do you feel about having a grandchild?

I like it.

Yeah?

I'm happy with it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's cool.

Well, you like kids.

It's clear that you like family, and you like kids.

All right.

We're going to take a break.

More with Eddie after this.
