Steve Martin’s advice to Eddie Murphy on hosting the Oscars

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Once upon a time, comedy legends Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy co-starred in a movie together – BOWFINGER – that most people forgot, which is strange because it’s probably the funniest movie both of these guys have made in the past 12 years. Murphy is hosting the Oscars this year and his one-time co-star Martin, who hosted the Oscars two years ago, took it upon himself to offer up some friendly, if not unsolicited, advice.

It’s stuff like this that reminds me how funny Steve Martin really is and makes me wish he’d write another comedy script sometime soon.
