| Eddie Murphy on Ellen's Show |
First up: critically acclaimed noise rock quartet One Direction. "Well they're for teenagers though," Murphy insisted when outed as someone who has no idea who they are. "Right? Y'all cannot imagine me sitting at home going, 'Put on One Direction for me!' I'm sure my 14, 16 year old know who One Direction is."
When teased further, Murphy got playfully defensive. "I know what's going on," he said. "I'm up on it. I don't know that but I know what's going on!" To test him, Ellen then hit him with a question about the depressing modern ritual known as #ThrowbackThursday. Murphy had never heard of that nonsense either. To demonstrate, Ellen hit the audience with a throwback shot of a young Eddie Murphy. "Where did you find that funny-ass picture?" Murphy said. "That is hysterical. Is that me? Is that my head on someone?"
