I read the NYT Interview with Eddie Murphy (thanks for the link) which noted that Eddie Murphy: Raw was the most fabulousest stand up performance, worldwide, now and forever. I'm not being sarcastic when I exaggerate that assessment -- just playfully acknowledging it's true, based on the number of comedians from almost every continent who have credited a bootleg tape of Murphy as inspiring them. Trevor Noah and Harith Iskandar come to mind.
