Eddie would totally rock at the role. In Eddie Murphy's RAW in the Late 80's, he does a whole skit about being 13 years old and making Richard Pryor jokes about taking a shit on stage. I swear, he sounded just like him. Anyone who saw RAW would have to agree, the impersonation was fab.
I loooooove musicals, I love 9 to 5 the movie and I love Dolly. BUT THAT WAS NO SHOW STOPPER! What a big fucking snoooooooooozefest compared to other musical Show Stopping Numbers about the same subject. And yes, it sounded Wicked(ish).
Talk about being a Hypocrite.
And remember you were once a fat ass yourself, Honey.
I'm Just Sayin....
