Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Barnett was a huge influence on Eddie Murphy's raw, street-smart comedy style—Murphy openly credited him. This special captures him at his peak before industry failures and personal struggles derailed his career.
Richard Belzer appears briefly reading a paper; he'd later become famous as Munch on Law & Order. The whole thing was shot on a shoestring budget at a real college campus with borrowed locations.
