Hal- I'm a TV junkie, and will test my wits of SNL trivia with anyone. But you seem to have that sketch down word for word. Is it memorized, or do you have a trick? Two other great Eddie Murphy sketches are when he plays Stevie Wonder to Joe Piscopo's Frank Sinatra, and they sing "Ebony and Ivory" with Piscopo adding the line"..my amigo negro, let's not fight." (I've heard Piscopo talk about that line to this day). Also, the sketch where Murphy plays a two-bit talent agent and Piscopo finds him bad acts, among them Alan the Stevie Wonder impersonator; but Alan is played by Stevie Wonder himself, who pokes fun at his own singing voice. I trust you remember these both (and Rob seems to be an SNL fan too).
