White Like Me is a 1984 sketch from the US television show Saturday Night Live , starring Eddie Murphy. James Poniewozik of the New York Times considered it the best sketch of the best episode of the series. [1] Other publications have also listed it as among the best sketches of the series. [2]
In the sketch, Murphy goes undercover as a white man (using make-up), and discovers a world where white people treat each other very differently when they are alone - his character says "they give things to each other for free". It was a parody of the 1961 book Black Like Me by John Howard Griffin. The segment was prefilmed for insertion in the episode, and was not filmed live.
