R.I.P. Charlie Murphy

I can't believe Charlie Murphy passed away today. His True Hollywood Stories on The Chappelle Show was some of the funniest TV in the history of TV. You will be truly missed..

Charlie Murphy, Eddie's older brother, and a very successful and popular stand-up comedian in his own right has died ... TMZ has learned. According to Charlie's manager, he died from leukemia Wednesday morning in a NYC hospital. He'd been going undergoing chemotherapy. Family members tell us they're absolutely shocked because they thought he was getting better. We're told the family would call him frequently, and he'd even joke they were calling too much. Charlie famously co-starred on "Chappelle's Show" in some of Dave's most memorable skits ... including the nights Charlie partied with Rick James and Prince.

Part of the famous Rick James skit:


You'll be missed Charlie Murphy..

OH NO.

This news makes me really sad. I saw him do a stand up routine and he was so funny and that smile was 1000 watt.

RIP to a funny and by all indications great guy.

only 57 years old! Such a loss.. he was incredible in Chappelle's show and every other role I'd ever seen him in.

RIP to a very talented man with a bright soul

Charlie Murphy's true stories were funnier than most comedians made up comedy. He was truly a unique person.

Damn. Those Chappell show skits are certified classics. I knew he was sick as I saw a picture of him and he had lost a ton of weight, but didn't realize he was fighting cancer or that he was hospitalized.

In my 40s now and seeing all these people passing in their 50s is sobering.

Probably from one of those nights his stories were about

Very sad, he told it like it is! Great comedian, sorry for the family.

Game. Blouses.

This sucks. I was looking forward to more True Hollywood Stories some day. Somewhere, Charlie is getting punched in the forehead by Rick James and dunked on by Prince.

Rest easy bro.
