I remember seeing the behind the scenes making of Ghostbusters II and they had no idea how underwhelming the movie would be perceived...funny how it can go either way
This dude was so relaxed and kind, much more so than most comedians. Not as bitter as most, seemingly sincerely just wanting to make others feel better.
Bill Murray is a midwest kid that never lost that midwest perspective when he made it big in the entertainment industry. I think that's what sets him apart from most celebrities. He's a grounded, genuine person that has no interest in the bullshit that comes along with celebrity. Jeff Daniels is another person that comes to mind that's a lot like that.
Bill is one of the coolest, best humans ever.. how can u NOT love this guy? My dad met him years and years ago on a golf course in nj.. super randon, my dad was off in the back smokin a doob and up walks bill and took a few rips.. my dad said hes a real class act stand up dude...
I saw him at a pub in St Augustine Beach ~2006 with his security. It was an almost empty pub. He was watching sports on the TV. I was managing a hostel in St Augustine at the time and had some guests with me. We wanted to go say hi to him but decided to just let him have his space. Still was cool though to be in the same room with him.
@@MichaelLasotaTW right on 👍 class act not doin the whole "starstruck" thing... thats gotta creep people out 🤷♂️. My buddy was in a bar when Springsteen came in... my buddy told bruce that he sucks 😂
I was wondering myself how aware they were,makes me feel old but I remember seeing it back then as a kid but I knew nothing about it before I went to it
First movie I ever watched when we got our first VCR was Ghostbusters, when VCRs first came out. Loved him in Stripes, SNL, Caddyshack, pretty much everything he's been in, he's a comedic genius, God I love him! 😂😂😂😂❤❤
Don Giller thank you! I only watch and like! For more years than anyone on RU-vid!!! Getting old. It's dangerous for us to dwell in the past sometimes. Thank goodness that's not me.... Thaaank you Don
Bill Murray reminds me so much of my Polish uncles when they are still a bit drunk after yesterday :P The way he moves, walks the way he dresses and ofcourse the way he speak, the way he grimaces, moves his eyes and his naturally his hairdo :P Maybe he has Polish some genes :P
I was only two, when that movie came-out; but they played it in the theaters, until I was like eight. Back in the day, they always had replays in theatres. My dad managed the Hollis Theatres in Globe, Arizona for most of my childhood.
Interesting that this show was 8 days after the opening of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, which had just surpassed The Return of the Jedi as being the highest grossing opening weekend of the decade. Even more interesting that 7 years later, Ghostbusters II overtook Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade as being the highest grossing opening of the decade. And then there was Batman.
Metaphorically speaking, SNL was the first hundred feet. Followed by Meatballs, Caddyshack, Stripes. Ghostbusters was a phenom of a different level and impact in '84.
He he, i loved this guy since my grandpa took me to see Ghostbusters for my 9th birthday. And for all my life i have always been bewildered by how from day one, like you see in this interview , he couldn't care less about it, he never gave two fucks XD
This was filmed literally two weeks after Ghostbusters was released. In those two weeks, Bill and rest were poll vaulted to superstardom. This is exactly the moment where he went from not wanting to do the movie, to now knowing it’s the biggest of the year.
The fascinating part of where we are today with RU-vid videos is you can in about 20 minutes see someone age 40 years!!! Start with Bill Murray's first visit with Dave and then work your way through all the in between interviews and get to the last show Dave has with Bill Murray. When you're done go and have a shot of Vodka and do it yourself!!!
1984 was just an insane year for kids and teenagers to have fun, of course Ghostbusters, but Gremlins, The Never ending story, Temple of Doom, Romancing the stone, Terminator, Footloose, Karaté Kid....
Doable, but it'd be pretty long, and right now I'm limited to 15-minute clips due to a You Tube "strike" after NBCU had YT remove my upload of Dateline's Brokaw/Letterman interview. As long as I keep my nose clean, that strike'll be removed in October. So it'll have to wait until at least then.
Bill Murray has always been the biggest goof and the biggest weirdo I’ve ever known among the greatest comics of Hollywood, but he sure has the most greatest heart and he is the most nicest guy of all.
Don, Thanks again for these clips! They're my main source for all Dave pre Late Show. Do you happen to know why Dan Ackroyd cancelled his scheduled appearance earlier in May 1984? It seems like there was an issue.
The film hadn't been released yet. i wonder if Bill knew just how big, well loved and iconic the film would become...and that was just the release year!
I love the movie Groundhog Day. I've seen it at least 20 times. And there's one little tiny part that bugs me every time I see it. This seems like as good a place as any to bring it up, with lots of Groundhog Day fans chiming in. When Phil (Murray) is on stage playing the piano at the party toward the end of the movie, Rita is watching him with pleasant surprise, not realizing he played an instrument so well. Right next to her is the piano teacher we've met before. She turns to Rita and says, approvingly, "He's my student." Now if Phil has reached this level of expertise, playing onstage with a band, it means that he came to the piano teacher that day -- since there is only the one day they interact -- already skilled as a musician. If Phil has indeed achieved that level of proficiency, why would he even stop by the piano teacher's home? And if he did, is she actually teaching him anything or are they just discussing some random minor point? It just seems odd for her to call Phil "my student" at that point, when the first time he meets her, he is already an accomplished player. (Maybe I'm overthinking this -- hahaha.)
Based on the conceit of the movie, this entire scene could have happened 100 times, so he would still be going to the teacher everyday to get better and better, and what we see is just the first time this all works out.
Yes, I do see your point. Another thing that always perplexed me about the storyline is that although he keeps repeating Feb. 2nd, each time there are differences relative to what he's choosing to do to manipulate everything. So, in a real sense, he's not living that "over and over and over" as he puts it. They're actually different days that just happen to always fall on Groundhog Day.
There’s a part in the movie where he sees her and knows the piano super well. And she says “and you said this is your first time?” So he basically is saying her incredible teaching made him that good in one day
This was the NBC rebroadcast from June 3, 1988, during the writers' strike. I have two other sources: the original broadcast and its first repeat from March 7, 1985. I chose the 1988 version because it had the best quality among the three.
