While 'SNL 40' was considered a runaway success, many were left wondering why Eddie Murphy's involvement amounted to just 73 seconds of telling people to enjoy the show. It was his first time back in studio 8-H in more than three decades, so it is fair to say that nearly everyone tuning in was expecting something hilarious from him, but that just never happened. We are **w learning that there was more planned for Murphy to do, but he nixed it at the Last minute. According to a report by 'The Hollywood Reporter,' "Fellow 'SNL' alum **rm Macdonald posted a long string of tweets Wednesday, [Feb. 18,] revealing that he and the show's other writers wanted Murphy to play Bill Cosby during the 'Celebrity Jeopardy!' segment. The bit would involve cutting to Cosby, who would be mixing drinks in a video supposedly taped in the summer, before numerous ***ual allegations against him resurfaced."
