David Spade Squandered 25 Years Groveling to Mollify Fragile Eddie Murphy Over Ancient ‘SNL’ Jab

HOLLYWOOD’S DIRTY SECRET IS OUT: A SINGLE JOKE DESTROYED A LEGEND’S HEART FOR 25 YEARS. In a SHOCKING new podcast confession, comedian David Spade revealed the HARSH truth: his 1995 “SNL” jab at Eddie Murphy’s film “Vampire in Brooklyn” turned the comedy icon from a HERO into a HATER overnight, sparking a quarter-century feud.

“It was weird going from being a super fan to having him HATE ME overnight, and to try to win him back for the last 25 years,” Spade admitted, exposing the COWARDLY backstabbing culture of the very show that made them famous. Murphy himself CONFIRMED the betrayal in his documentary, stating the joke made him say, “Fuck ‘SNL.’… That’s what y’all think of me? Oh, you dirty motherfuckers.”

This isn’t about a simple misunderstanding. This is about the BRUTAL, CUTTHROAT reality of show business, where so-called “family” stabs its biggest stars in the back the moment they stumble. The joke, which compared Murphy to a “falling star,” wasn’t just a punchline—it was a CALCULATED character assassination GREENLIT by the show’s producers, proving NO ONE is safe from the machine that creates them.

Even after a supposed reunion at “SNL50,” the damage is DONE. This story exposes the FAKE friendships and FRAGILE egos behind Hollywood’s glittering curtain. A quarter-century grudge over a 20-second segment reveals a disturbing truth: in this town, loyalty is a JOKE, and forgiveness is just a PR photo op. Is this the price of fame—to be betrayed by the very people who claim to love you?
