Like seriously, TV One? This dude doesn't need an Unsung. Like he's a step down from a sidekick. Unsung need to do better - Charlie Murphy stories does not equate to being Unsung, more like a one hit wonder.

Normally I don't participate in early threads for these shows but the previews got me worried. The fact that he doesn't deserve a show is one thing BUT he looks sick! Did something happen...what's going on with him?

I don't know about all that lol but he looks SICK. His body has shrunken & aged...it doesn't look natural. Something's not right. Eddie looks way better by comparison.

he looks like he have cancer or some kind of illness going on with him, the weight loss in his neck and face.

There are plenty of people due an Unsung long before they would need to call Charlie Murphy.

I don't know why he's getting one. Next weeks episode of Unsung Hollywood is about Meagan Good. Does she deserve one?

Nah...please tell me you are joking??? Megan is under 35 yr old and hasn't reached a peak yet. Nor has she had that role to really show her acting skills. It's too soon to say if she is unsung or not.

There are many unsung black actors who could be featured on the show. A few I would like to see: Vonetta McGee, Calvin Lockhartisis, Max Julien, and Rosalind Cash. I know some actors decline the offer to be featured, but still...

TVOne really need to change the name of this show (same goes the original Unsung), because it has totally went left. Something more along the line of Lifetime's old show "Intimate Portrait" or Behind the Music is more fitting.

Dang, I missed the first half.

ETA: Wow, he looks really sick. I checked Twitter and a lot of people are commenting on it.

I can't decide if he looks thin because his teeth are HUGE. They are completely overpowering his face.

My Mom thinks it maybe Cancer.. I heard its grief from the lost of his wife but not even grief could make you look that thin... Overall I pray he's okay.

i think he deserves an Unsung... He's done a lot for people nobody knew about but never made it as big as his brother.

So, here is my theory...I actually think Charlie Murphy is dying (of what, i'm not too sure). I believe Eddie was sweet enough to contact TVOne to give his brother his own special. I guess, in a way to let everyone know his accomplishments in life.

Nevertheless, God bless him.

Damn that's deep. I hope he doesn't pass away anytime soon like just sticking around to see this.

Plus 1 about the Megan Good Comment.

Unsung Hollywood could have went and did:
Diana Sands
Claudia McNeil
Tamara Dobson
Teresa Graves
Juanita Moore
Barbara McNair
Madge Sinclair
Clevon Little
Ron Glass
Ruby Dee (just for posterity)
Vonetta McGee
Lonette McKee
Calvin Lockhart
Max Julien
Rosalind Cash
Gloria Hendry
Esther Rolle (who just became bitter after her career tanked)
Ja'net Dubois (who has had a weird career)
Isabel Sanford (just because her career died with weezie)
Roxie Roker (just because her career died with helen)
Berlinda Tolbert (who did nothing after Jeffersons)
Troy Beyer
Marilyn Coleman
Jenifer Lewis (just for the hell of it)
Desiree West (yes the pδrn star)

Now the shows:
Charlie and Company
Amos and Andy
Hazel
Good Times (to get the real deal story on its whitewashing)
The Jeffersons (to get the real deal story on its whitewashing)
Sanford and Son/Sanford/Grady/Sanford Arms (just for the story)
Barney Miller (if NY Undercover counts, so does this one)
Get Christie Love (show and movie)
Shaft (tv series)

Most of these people are dead, over 60%. There is no reason not to feature them. Charlie Murphy is a waste of space.

I don't care if he is dying...he hasn't done anything to warrant an unsung. Give him a Life After. This was a painful waste of an hour and the thread is dead. That says it all.

I watched half of his story. I see he didn't mention having an illness or anything like that. I hope he is ok. It was sad to hear about his wife.

I see next week they are doing Meagan Goode or Meagan Hood as I like to call her sometimes. They just don't care anymore huh but Unsung Hollywood always been pretty lax.

ALL OF THIS! I really despise the direction they are going with this show. They are ruining it just like the did R&B Divas.

We talked about Charlie's recent appearance in another thread. Truthfully, he is a very bright (smart) person. Sadly, he looks like he is suffering from some illness. I think cancer, specifically Pancreatic, but I don't know. I feel badly for his children. I remember that when his wife passed from cervical cancer, he talked about throwing himself into his work because he still had to be a parent to his children. Whatever it is, it is admirable that he is still out there trying to make it happen. That says a lot about his resolve.

He's on a comedic tour with Ced the Entertainer, DL Hugely, Eddie Griffin & George Lopez.

I was like how did Charlie Murphy get on this tour. He has to be the opening act. I heard he gets booed during his standup though.

But she died in like 2009! Something is up and its not that/her! I couldn't get pass his appearance. I wish him well. The only time I laughed was when one of the commentators said during his Chappelle days he told them: "I had to fight that [Rick James] m-fer like 4 times" :dead:.

@hollywood_sin Eddie's got pull! It just doesn't sound crazy to me. Either way your theory if true is sweet but sad.
