Eddie Murphy accepted the Mark Twain Prize in Washington DC over the weekend, and he took the opportunity to make some Bill Cosby jokes. It's a surprising move, considering Murphy refused to do a Bill Cosby impression on Saturday Night Live's 40th anniversary show, saying he couldn't stomach the bit. "It's horrible. There's nothing funny about it. If you get up there and you crack jokes about him, you're just hurting people. You're hurting him. You're hurting his accusers."
