Huge news, SNL fans: Eddie Murphy is ending his 30-year SNL absence and is headed to the show’s 40th anniversary special set to air on February 15th. Murphy revealed the news during a phone interview with News One when asked about why he’s never returned to the show since leaving in 1984: “It’s just timing. It just never worked out where the timing was right for me to do it … They’re actually having a 40th anniversary I think in two weeks. I’m going to that, and that’ll be the first time I’ve been back since I left.”
