After 28 years in retirement, Eddie Murphy got on stage at the Mark Twain awards and gave an oustanding comedic performs in his 6 minute acceptance speech. This is the COMPLETE acceptance speech that he gave for receiving the Mark Twain Prize. Only snippets have been released so far, possibly because Eddie disclosed the total earnings the committee raised from the event. In addition to making fun of Bill Cosby, he also made fun of the fact that, though so much money had been raised, they had no intentions of giving him any of it.
