Done by replacing the reference with a better source (Tampa Bay Times). 〜 Askarion ✉ 03:29, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. --62.166.252.25 (talk) 08:42, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Distinguish Gentleman is still not listed in any part of this page.

10 months ago an edit was suggested to add A distinguish Gentleman. It was answered a month ago, yet it still has not been added. 2600:100F:A012:F91D:A27F:DB2F:8389:14EA (talk) 20:19, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GOAT?

Can anyone justify/support the statement that EM is “ Widely recognized as one of the greatest comedians of all time”? That phrase is subjective and not supported by any external reference. Lots of comedians win awards but that doesn’t make them among the greatest of all time. Boodyinbkavk (talk) 15:31, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Punctuation

The punctuation in this article is at a 4th grade level. Comma before and. Semicolons scattered about. Run on sentences, and fragments. 2600:8807:5400:7000:B50D:4E11:10B8:36AB (talk) 21:02, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-Murphy's years active info needs to be changed back to "1980–present", because he did nor retire from acting in 2012 and resume acting in 2015. He's has been active ever since 1980 and nothing in the article says that he retired in 2012.
