The Comedy Store’s lineup for Thursday night included a 15-minute window for a “Special Guest.” Turns out that guest may have been a very special two-fer — if you believed other websites this morning — as Arsenio Hall took the stage first, then afterward declared that Eddie Murphy — yes, the Eddie Murphy who has teased us for more than 25 years about returning to stand-up comedy, and sometimes passed on the opportunity — had followed him onstage for a few minutes.

Suffice it to say, you won’t see Murray or Ferrell promoting their fashion senses on Twitter. But you couldn’t help but stare in amazement at their faces and those of Zach Galifianakis that adorned shirts as both Murray and Ferrell appeared on late-night TV Thursday night.
