Channeling James Brown’s high-energy persona, Murphy humorously took on the singer’s signature style and moves, adding his own twist with the idea of Brown testing the waters of a hot tub. The skit became an instant classic, showcasing Murphy’s comedic genius and impeccable impersonation skills, and it remains a fan-favorite SNL moment.
