Eddie Murphy's 'Mister Robinson' Returns To Saturday Night Live To Poke Fun At Gentrification!

Eddie Murphy revived a number of his iconic characters as host of this week's "Saturday Night Live," including his classic, too-real-for-PBS parody of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood."

Although his gentle speech and cardigan sweaters mimic Mr. Rogers, Murphy's "Mister Robinson" has a slightly ... grittier lifestyle, constantly avoiding eviction and attempting small crimes. In Saturday's reboot, change had come to Mister Robinson's neighborhood courtesy of gentrification.
