From Mister Robinson to Buckwheat, 10 Eddie Murphy ‘SNL’ Characters He Could Revive for His Return

Eddie Murphy is returning to his TV comedy roots.

“Saturday Night Live” recently announced the hosts for its first shows of the 2019-20 season and Murphy — who was a “SNL” cast member from 1980 to 1984 and left a towering legacy behind — is returning for the first time since he left (sans his brief and comedy-less appearance during the “SNL” 40th anniversary special in 2015). We aren’t sure what to expect in his return as host. Could we see a revival of his popular “SNL” character Buckwheat or motivational guru Velvet Jones? Let’s take a look at the possibilities below:

Mister Robinson

The timing of this return would make a lot of sense. The children’s TV personality Mr. Rogers has been the topic of a tear-jerker of a documentary and an upcoming film with Tom Hanks and the Emmy-nominated Matthew Rhys “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.” Could we see Mr. Robinson take us to see President Trump in the Magical Land of Make Believe?
