Steve Martin was not technically a cast member

just what i wanted to say

I am pretty sure Eddie Murphy was not a token black character. In fact, he would have to tell them to stop putting him in so many skits. Ferrell was very funny, but Eddie Murphy was great at improvising and was also very funny.

Murphy did become popular, and they did want to hire him, but weren't going to because they already had a black guy. he was actually only hired when they found out that the other black guy wasn't officially under contract.. leaving room for Eddie to be the token black guy.
