  • Murphy reflected on the current time saying ,‘times change and tastes change…funny is still funny.’
  • Murphy also touched on how he’s been able to transcend Hollywood being a black man, “I’m a black man who was born in America; I’m African American. Growing up in this country, there’s no way you’re not going to have to face some sh*t.”
