If you believe the rumors, yes. Word has it Eddie Murphy is in talks with Netflix to do a series of stand-up specials in a deal could be worth as much as $70 MILLION.
It’s unclear how many specials he will actually be doing, you’d think that $70 mil should get a handful of shows, but that’s not necessarily the case. Back in 2017 Dave Chappelle negotiated $60 million for three Netflix specials and Chris Rock got $40 million for two specials in 2016 so who knows what will happen.
Eddie has been in pseudo-retirement from stand-up for YEARS, but he’s been itching to get back. In the new episode of “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee”, Eddie told Jerry Seinfeld he wanted to do it again.
