It's Black History Month in the USA so we're looking at Black notables who have made us laugh over the years in the Connection Finder, starting with Eddie Murphy.
Here are other Black comedians to check your connection to:
Which one is most closely connected to you? If you're one of the 28.6 million of us who are connected to each other on our big tree you can check with the Connection Finder.
In addition to the above and our many Featured Connections, you can check your connections to any category on WikiTree, such as African-American Notables and NAACP Image Awards. Click the green MyConnections button in the upper right hand corner of the category page.
Let us know how you're related below. If you want to share your connection on social media with cousins and friends, click the "get shareable image" below the results, e.g. Empress Consort Karoline and Eddie Murphy. Then just upload it along with the URL of your direct connection. (Please refrain from sharing your connection on the featured profiles themselves, though. It clutters conversations on research and collaboration. Thanks!)
Help us find and improve the profiles for next week's Formerly Enslaved Notables feature, in connection with the current WikiTree 7X7 Challenge.

Great list - but noticeably missing Lenny Henry so I guess his profile and tree should be added
