David Spade<\/a> is clearing the air when it comes to his long-running feud with Eddie Murphy<\/a>, which seemingly and recently came to an end after what David says was 25 years of simmering tension.<\/p>\n Let’s go back to 1995, when Eddie’s critically maligned Vampire in Brooklyn had just seen release in the multiplexes. Enter David, the newly-minted SNL<\/a> Weekend Update anchor, who remarked “Look, children, a falling star” as a picture of Eddie appeared onscreen. “Make a wish,” he added.

In an interview<\/a> with The New York<\/a> Times last year, he alleged<\/a> that the joke itself was “racist.” \u201cMost people that get off that show, they don\u2019t go on and have these amazing careers. It was personal,\u201d he reflected. \u201cIt was like, \u2018Yo, how could you do that?\u2019”<\/p>\n In the recently released Netflix doc Being Eddie, the comic legend further reflected on the joke, which led to his refusal to appear on the show for a whopping 20 years. “It’s like your alma mater taking a shot at you,” he said. “The audience there said ‘boo,’ and hissed him for saying it. I was hurt. My feelings was hurt.”<\/p>\n Netflix \/ Via youtube.com<\/a><\/p>\n During a recent episode of his Fly on the Wall podcast with Dana Carvey, David finally addressed the fracas \u2014 and, long story short, it sounds like things are mostly resolved between him and Eddie, even if it took a minute to get there.<\/p>\n
