Jamie Foxx told Eddie Murphy not to do stand-up anymore because his house was 'too nice'

Jamie Foxx recalls warning Eddie Murphy against getting back into stand-up comedy because his house was 'too nice' to still be relatable: 'You ain't funny, bro.'

"I had a special deal for a long time, but I had nothing to talk about," Foxx recalled to fellow comics Hasan Minhaj, Roy Wood Jr., Seth Meyers, Chelsea Handler, and Sarah Silverman for The Hollywood Reporter's Stand-Up Emmy Roundtable. When Murphy revealed he also wanted to get back to his stand-up roots around the time he was making Coming 2 America, Foxx hit him with the same rude awakening. Foxx explained that he still doesn't remember 20 days during his sickness and credited his family for their quick thinking that ended up saving his life.
