Eddie Murphy is making a comeback, courtesy of Netflix.
Even though he hasnât done standup in years, the streaming giant is reportedly plunking down $70 million dollars for a series of comedy specials.Â
While Netflix wouldnât confirm the financials, it wouldnât be far-fetched for them to give Murphy that kind of money. Dave Chappellle reportedly got $60 million for three specials, and Chris Rock picked up $40 million for two. Meanwhile, Amy Schumerreportedly got more than $11 million bucks for her last showcase.Â
âIâm gonna do it again. Itâs just, you know, everything has to be right,â Murphy told Jerry Seinfeld on the current season of âComedians in Cars Getting Coffee.â He added, âThe only way I can get, like, an act is I gotta go to the clubs and work out.â Weâll keep you postedâŠ
