It took over 3o years but Eddie Murphy is finally returning to ‘Saturday Night Live’. According to reports he is set to appear on the 40th anniversary special of the NBC sketch comedy show which airs February 15.

Murphy, who started his stand-up comedy career at 15, was 19 when he joined the show in 1981. His last appearance was as host in 1984, by which time he had become a mega-movie star with “Beverly Hills Cop.”

In an interview with News One Now, Murphy talked about why it took so long for him to return.

 “It just never worked out where the timing was right for me to do it,” he said.

“They’re having a 40th anniversary. I’m going to that. And that will be the first time I’ve been back since I left.”

The episode is also set to feature other cast members from the past 40 years who will return and appear in sketches throughout the show.
