History

Murphy became well known as a comedian after appearing on Chappelle's Show (with his Crash Comedy co-star Donnell Rawlings). One of his sketches, "Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories" involved him telling and acting out stories involving various celebrities.[2] Since Chappelle's Show ended in 2006, Murphy felt like no other sketch show was filling the void that was left by the show's exit. He believes Crash Comedy will. It's "sketch comedy without restrictions."[3]
