The year was 1989 and the King of Pop was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the American Music Awards by Eddie Murphy for the success of his hit album Bad.
Deserving? Absolutely so. But the coolest part of Michael Jackson’s acceptance speech was the hilarious moment he and Eddie shared onstage.

Great! I wish Eddie would do more stand up.
His movies crack me up every time I watch them. Trading Places and Coming to America are my favorites.
Yeah Cokes, Coming to America, hilarious! I just happened to catch RAW on tv last weekend, too funny.
YaY Eddie & MJ, both are the greatest entertainers. Love forever and ever and ever!
I love that moment. And MJ, so gracious and humble. Then on the Soul Train awards, they pick it back up and Eddie act like he was fixing MJ’s clothes and waiting on him even taking and holding his award. Both men had a great sense of humor.
