Eddie Murphy is set to land $70 million for a Netflix comedy special.
The Nutty Professor actor recently admitted he is keen to return to stand-up comedy and sources told TMZ he's in talks with the streaming service to record an unspecified number of specials for them.
A $70 million is on offer, dwarfing the $60 million which Netflix paid to Dave Chappelle in 2017 for three specials and the $40 million Chris Rock earned for two in 2016.
The 58-year-old star recenty promised his stand-up return would come when "everything" was "right".
Speaking in a clip from Netflix's Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, he said: "I'm going to do it again. Everything just has to be right. You have to get up there and start working out. Still gotta go to the comedy club."
