Eddie Murphy Talks About Who Destroyed His Leather Suit From 'Delirious' (VIDEO)

Eddie Murphy was talking a little bit about people's expectations of him as the Oscars host on '106 & Park' (Weeknights, 6PM ET on BET). One thing he wanted to make clear is that the show should not be about him coming out in a leather suit and cracking jokes, but rather about the awards themselves.But the leather suit comment prompted a question of if he still had the one from 'Delirious' or not. It turns out he did, but it got totally destroyed in a prank one night. According to Murphy, Keenen Ivory Wayans put on the suit one night, which looked hilarious because Wayans is much taller than Murphy.
So Murphy dared him to go out that night like that, and they wound up clubbing all night, with Wayans staying in character throughout -- a character that wound up being Frenchie on 'In Living Color.' So while the suit didn't survive the night, at least Frenchie did.
