Comedian ____ Murphy (5)
I believe the answer is:
eddie
'comedian murphy' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for eddie that I've seen before include "-- Grundy (The Archers)" , "-- Izzard, comedian" , "Fellow" , "-- the Eagle, ski jumper" , "- Izzard, stand-up comic" .)
