In a recent episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee<\/i>, Jerry Seinfield, behind the wheel of a 2004 Porsche Carerra GT, scooped up his legendary colleague, Eddie Murphy.\u00a0 They both bonded over being loners, completing their first impromptu performances on buses as kids and growing up personally and professionally in the Big Apple.\u00a0 As the two reminisced, comparing and contrasting the old days to the present day, Eddie confesses, \u201cdoing nothing is my favorite dish.\u201d The iconic funnyman prefers spending the majority of his time with his family; which can explain his sporadic presence in Hollywood the last few decades.\u00a0 However, with two known comedic projects in the works, it appears that Eddie is plotting his grand return.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Currently, in post-production, Dolemite is My Name <\/i>(2019) features Eddie as Rudy Ray Moore, the raunchy comedian best known for his role as Dolemite.\u00a0 The film boasts an eclectic intergenerational mix of actors and comedians including Mike Epps, Tituss Burgess, Wesley Snipes, Chris Rock, Craig Robinson, Da\u2019Vine Joy Randolph, and Keegan-Michael Key.\u00a0 Dolemite is My Name <\/i>follows Rudy Ray Moore as he writes, fundraises and films what would become a blaxploitation classic.\u00a0 It is the divine combination of cast and content, that makes this upcoming flick ripe for deep belly laughter.\u00a0 Eddie is even reprising his role as Prince Akeem in Coming to America 2 <\/i>where he returns to the United States to find his long-lost son, the heir to the throne of Zamunda.\u00a0 Arsenio Hall has agreed to return as Akeem\u2019s friend and royal right-hand, Semmi. They are still working to get John Amos and James Earl Jones to reprise their roles from the 1988 hit comedy.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n None of his upcoming projects are mentioned over his coffee with Seinfeld, well, because Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee <\/i>is not that kinda show.\u00a0 It\u2019s all about the craft, opening up, self-reflection, and the love of stand up.\u00a0 As they cruise along the streets of Los Angeles, Seinfield informs Eddie, \u201cYou know, that you not doing stand up drives people crazy?\u201d\u00a0 Eddie then confides, \u201cI\u2019m gonna do it again…everything just has to be right. I have to go to the clubs and work out.\u201d Eddie\u2019s reveal makes the alleged Netflix deal feel less like hearsay and more like a blissful, soon-to-come reality.\u00a0 It has been rumored Netflix has offered Eddie an alleged $70 million dollars to return to the stand-up stage after an almost 30-year hiatus. With a number of self-sidelined comedians stepping into the spotlight, revealing new styles and new ways of thinking (e.g Chris Rock<\/a> and Dave Chappelle<\/a>), I can only imagine what the 2019 stand-up Eddie might look and sound like.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n SIDEBAR: Eddie\u2019s brand of comedy was actually a current concern for TV personality, Andy Cohen.\u00a0 The Watch What Happens Live <\/i>host questioned Tituss Burgess on his working relationship with Eddie, citing the stand-up comedian as \u201cvery problematic for the gays\u201d several decades ago.\u00a0 Watch the video below to see Tituss\u2019s appropriately shady response to the white host\u2019s messy question.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
