Some jokes in the show didn’t age well, but the show is still very funny. It was like everyone on the show had something to prove and pushed the envelope. I actually remember this episode and all the skits in it. Yes, this episode is around 30-33 years old.
The Star Trek skit is hilarious and a nice play on words. Farrakhan is currently considered more of a joke due to his strong ties to Scientology. Back in the 90s, people respected him as a black leader. He’s now hawking Dianetics.
The Milli Vanilli skit has some historical connections. The real Milli Vanilli saw the performance and they were taken aback by it. They knew their fame was fleeting.
The Driving Miss Daisy skit is now actually a porn genre now. That’s all I got to say.
The Arsenio skit ruffled a few feathers. Allegedly, Arsenio was a bit pissed about his portrayal in the skit. The big ass and long finger probably pissed off Arsenio. Early in Arsenio’s run, he would mention being friends with Eddie Murphy a lot. They had a small falling out as the show progressed, but have patched things up. As far as the Keenen Ivory Wayans/Arsenio Hall thing, it is a rumor. However, people do claim there was a beef between the two comedians.
