-We're hanging out with Eddie Murphy. -Questlove, you were at the party when Prince had on those skates that lit up? Those glitter skates? -Yes. -Okay, yeah. -Valentine's. -He had on glitter -- We went to a party at -- Prince had a roller-skating party. -I heard about this story. -It was like 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning. And we're at his house. And Prince goes, "Who wants to go roller-skating?" It was like, "What?" And we went to this roller rink at like 3:00 in the morning. You know how some sneakers they would have, when you walked, they would light up? He had skates that when he skated, they would light up. -So, it was a dark skating and you see just see Prince skating around. No way. Questlove, you were there, too? -Yeah, it was just you, me, Larry Graham, and -- -There was a couple of people scattered around. -Yeah. Yeah. -That's bizarre. I mean, can you -- -It was surreal. -Can you tell the Prince story about your chef? -Oh, well, I was -- We -- Where I live now, Prince stayed a couple of houses down. And he was -- My chef was leaving at like 2:00 in the morning once. And a car goes by, you know, purple car and the music, and he's like, "Whoa, that's Prince." And a hubcap comes off, and it just kind of fall -- And the car keeps going. And he picks the hubcap up, and it's got the Prince thing on the hubcap. And the car goes and makes a big U-turn and comes back, and Prince says, "Can I have my hubcap back?" [ Laughter ] I was like, "What a great moment you had." -No one else has that story. That's awesome. I was going to go through some of the Eddie Murphy folklore stories that I've heard, if you don't mind. If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to, but I'll just name a couple things. -No cheap shots, though. -No, I would never. I would never do that. -I'm just kidding. -Here's one -- You and Jerry Seinfeld started your stand-up careers at the same week at the same comedy club. -Oh, yeah, we started both at the Comic Strip at the same time, yes. -You did? -Yeah. -Wow. Who ran that? Do you remember? -Lucien. Lucien Hold. -Yeah, Lucien Hold. -Lucien Hold. -I used to do that club. Yeah, I love Lucien. -Lucien Hold. That name means "the devil's grip." -No, it does not. That does not -- That's not -- That's not true. -But, no, if you take it. -Lucifer. Yeah, Lucien Hold. The devil's grip. -Yeah, that's what... But he was not the devil. -He was one of the nicest guys. -Nicest guy. Got so many people started. -Yeah, he really did. Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis wanted you to be one of the original Ghostbusters, but you turned it down. -Yes, but I did "Beverly Hills --" 'cause I did "Beverly Hills Cop." -Oh. [ Cheers and applause ] So, you made a good movie. -It wasn't like I turned it down inasmuch as I wasn't available 'cause I was doing this other movie. The only movie I ever turned down that was a -- that became a big hit was that "Who Framed Roger Rabbit." -You were going to be in that? -Yeah, I was going to be the Bob Hoskins dude. And I was like, "What? Animation and people. That sounds like bull[bleep] to me." [ Laughter ] Now every time I see it, I feel like an idiot. -After "48 Hrs." came out, Marlon Brando called and asked to have dinner with you. -Yeah, yes. Yeah, that was surreal, too. -And you had dinner with him? -Yeah, a few times. A few times -- I went to his house and had dinner at a hotel. I had a -- You know the most surreal moment? 'Cause I had just done "48 Hrs." And Brando told me his favorite scene in the movie, but he was acting to me. And he goes, "When you said, 'I'm you're worst [bleep] nightmare. I'm a [bleep] with a badge. That means I've got permission to kick your [bleep] ass whenever.'" And I was like, "This [bleep]" -[ Laughs ] Whoa! [ Cheers and applause ] That's what I'm like right now. -I was like, "Damn, Marlon Brando. I ain't do the [bleep] like that, Marlon Brando. You should have been in '48 Hrs.'" [ Laughter ] -Oh, my God. You have -- You have one of the world's biggest collections of Elvis memorabilia. -Not anymore. I used to when I was younger. -Yeah, not anymore. -Yeah, I got a little older. You know, it was kind of like, "Hey, man, why I got this [bleep]" [ Laughter ] That was much as -- I still love Elvis, but he was much cooler when I was younger. When I got older and I kind of -- You start to see the whole picture. It was like, "Hey, man, take that [bleep] off the wall." [ Laughter ] I had that jumpsuit on my wall. -Yeah, "Why am I doing that?" -Sell all the jumpsuits, man. [ Laughter ] -Right before you landed "SNL," you were fired from your job as a shoe salesman. -I wasn't fired. I quit that job. I had worked at Chandler's Shoes at the mall out on Long Island. [ Laughs ] And I quit. -You quit? -Yes, I quit. -Chandler's? -Chandler's Shoes. -Well, everyone at Chandler's Shoes, you missed out.
