Eddie Murphy Calls Out Jerry Seinfeld for Saying Bernie Mac Was the Best Comedian He’d Ever Seen And Couldn’t Believe He Put Him on Comedy’s Mount Rushmore Jerry Seinfeld: “You’re going to object, but I am a huge fan of Bernie Mac. I love Bernie Mac.” “I told you, I thought Bernie Mac was one of the funniest to me.” Eddie Murphy: “No, no, no. You didn’t say ‘one of.’ You said you thought he was the best that you’d ever seen do it.” “I said, I love Bernie, but the best? If you told anyone else that you thought he was the best, they would go, ‘Really?’” “We were doing our comic Mount Rushmore.
