We all know Charlie Murphy from "The Chappelle Show" but now it's his time to shine! He just dropped a new book titled "The Making of a Stand-Up Guy" chronicling his life beyond just being Eddie's big brother and slapping the hell out of Rick James. He touches on everything from his years serving in the Navy to fame and the insane affect it can have on folks. Below is a quick excerpt from Chapter 10:

"When I was red-eyed and exhausted, sitting in a subway car on my way home to Linden Street from McCarren Pool in Brooklyn; or when I was sitting in my cell in Nassau County Jail, serving hamburgers out from under my nuts; or when I was sweating my ass off in the belly of the USS Joseph Hewes; or when I was being swept up in a seemingly endless sea of joyous fans at a stadium show for my world-famous brother; or even as I sat, hunched over in a hotel room, tapping my feverish thoughts into my computer — I could never have imagined this life for myself. Never. So that's what's up. I turn fifty this year and hope, with all sincerity, that I continue to connect with new fans along the way. In the end, I just want people to say, "Charlie Murphy? He's a funny dude. He does a great stand-up. And he's a real stand-up guy."

Just in case yall missed it, earlier this year he starred in a viral marketing campaign for the Jordan Brand starring as "Leroy Smith: The Man Who Motivated Michael Jordan". For those of you that don't know Leroy Smith was the cat that took MJ's spot when he was cut from the varsity squad in high school. You know he showed his ass with this one. Check him out...
