Dan Aykroyd Tells the Story of When He First Met Bill Murray 

Ernie is more like classically trained actor, so he's just more serious type of guy over the other two that are from comedy background.

@@Guy-mx4fb true

They got the suits , they got their cars turned into ectoplasmobiles , you know and they start showing up at my house , you know ....😂😂😂

Being the host, Seth should have drawn him out more. I really doubt that Ernie hangs with Dan and Bill so he probably feels like the odd man out. Of course, he pretty much sat there closed mouth and failed to add anything unless spoken to. He does look like he is in better shape than the other two so he certainly has that going for him. The reals brains of the bunch are Aykroyd and Harold Ramis and Ramis is resting in piece. They should have resurrected him in the movie.

@@ModernNeandertal they could’ve but who would’ve filled in the role for “Egon”? (I’m not too sure who played Egon in Ghostbusters: Afterlife.)

And he sat there so serene while they talked across him. Classy.

Yup. Delicious.

He is wonderful in Grace & Frankie

What's crazy is that he's the oldest of the three of them.

@@talkanders6058 he's 75, and a living example of "Black don't crack."

Seth did a lot better than Fallon though at including him in the conversation.

How was he left out? He acted in the film and didnt enter the film until partway in, he didnt write the film nor was he even a comedian, he was a fourth wheel brought in cos Eddie Murphy was too busy with Beverly Hills Cop to join them, he got the amount of time he deserved as someone who played a much lesser role in this production than the other three.

if they have put any other person in his role it would have been the same lets be honest

That's why i appreciate that Seth purposely directed towards him after a while. He clearly wanted to give him a chance to say something lol

@@gussstavo Exactly my thoughts, his role was a bit part really, he doesnt enter til part way in he isnt given funny lines cos the comedians take all those, he was there to make up the numbers and that was about it.

Magical

Pity they couldn't clear Soul Man, I'd have loved to have seen the Elwood dance.

Please Dan or Bill would not get crappy contracts.

That’s one word for it

@@Hellwyck absolutely! Elwood was in there, some of those leg shakes.

who?

WIIIIINNNNNSSSSSSTTTTTOOOOOOONNNNN

water, about 14 gallons most days. milk cows 24 gallons or more.

Don't forget he was an add-on character

He’s sitting right there and had every opportunity to say something if he wanted to. Quit complaining over nothing.

I get the feeling the film is a tribute to him. Glad him and Bill made up before his passing

Oh you know his ghost is hanging around somewhere :-)

I do too, and I'm sure they all miss him

The space on the couch next to Dan might actually be on purpose.

I’m sure they will do a beautiful tribute to Ramis

I know right. Dan was short of breath there after dancing. Feeling his heart / chest. For a second there I thought oh oh

And Bill almost died of laughter while Dan was dancing - loved it~!

he was dancing on the grave of Ghostbusters 2016

clutching your heart after to see what's going on is a near-miss with the paramedics, love the dedication and the willingness to participate though.

dude he was agitated after that lol dan needs to get some healthy habits

Agreed!!!! Ernie looks amazing 🥰

Hopefully they will all read the comments especially yours. Do they?

He’s also jacked as hell and he’s almost 80

The end credit extra scenes kind of teases a setup that Winston is going restart the business in New York after what happened in the new movie. I think it would be really cool if they did a follow up film or a made for streaming series that revolves around developing that story arc. We just have to show our support at the box office now to let them know we want more!

It is sad though. He is a great actor/straight comedian (Bob Newhartesk). And it was really rare for black people to get good roles in the 80s. The character of Winston didn't need a black guy in it, still Ernie slid into it seamlessly. However, he became so famous in it, that he became forever known for it. I just wish it would have open more doors for him.

They definitely seemed to avoid mentioning that scene since they're promoting a newer movie that is more kid-friendly.

That was my initial thought! LOL

He claims that scene is partially based on a real-life encounter he had with an invisible manifestation one night that crawled up next to him in bed...and he's serious about it. No, the original GB wasn't meant to be a "family film" but kind of evolved into it in large part due to the success of the cartoon.

Gotta love the 80's man!

& underage high school kids trying to have sex...

I fucking howled at that. Bill gets credit for still being sharp, but that was fucking great.

Lol I feel so stupid, I'm not native English speaker so maybe that's why, but I didn't understand that one.. Please, is someone willing to explain why or what is funny with that comment? 😂

@@atlebakke "the merch" is *merchandise* -- i.e., t-shirts or baseball caps or coffee mugs or whatever was sold in stores at the time (I have no idea) that served to make additional money for the film's creators. So as a response to "Did your children like the film?" it's funny to think that the children of the stars would ever have to pay for any film-related merchandise... it just wouldn't happen! True fans of the film back in 1984 would have purchased the merchandise. So juxtaposing the behavior of their children against the actions of a true fan is funny. And of course the creators (Dan, Bill, and the others) would see a profit from any merchandise sold, and so seeming to "complain" that their children didn't spend money that would end up in their own pockets is also amusing. It's true that explaining a joke saps the humor from it, but I hope that my comments have been helpful nonetheless.

@@LauraMorland Nono, don't think that way Laura, if u didn't explain I wouldn't have gotten it, cause even though I did know the word "merch", I guess I just hadn't understood the joke itself! But now I do, thanks to your great explanation! And the joke sure is a good one! I have loved Bills comedy for a bit more than 30 years, and he really is a treasure! Good to see he's still sharp! Merry Christmas

This was mid-90s. And I watched a version my parents had taped off a TV airing, so it included the last 10 minutes of David Bowie in Labyrinth, which still freaks me out to this day.

I watched it with my brother on Saturday evening, it was still totally enjoyable and we were reciting it as we watched, seems so long ago from when we stood in line in 84 😄🤪

God Bless you for sharing that story with us. That’s freaking adorable and you’ve brightened my day. Seriously thank you. My daughter likes to sit in laundry baskets too, I’m looking forward to the day we can switch the basket viewing show from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse to Ghostbusters.

I was a basket-sitter and a ghostbusters fan (though i never put them together, so i'm peculiarly jealous of your memory) :) I'm kidding--I just wanted to second the other person saying thank you for your comment. It legit WAS a pleasure to read.

Will you be a friend of mine? Lol. That sounds a lot like my life. I am 36 right now.

He also still gets very few words in. Lol 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I could've used more ernie too. I wonder how his family reacted to the movies.

There's this thing called plastic surgery... Lol

No dummy, we don't age like you do...

@@annieoakley2925 Black don't Crack, Annie.

I agree. When the Blues Brothers first came on the scene, some of my "hip" friends disregarded them as a gimmick. I always countered that they were introducing songs and music that many people had never heard before.

I’m 35 and has all the same stuff, my parents are coming in to see it with me and my wife Friday.

My son had got all of his Ghostbusters stuff for Christmas 1987. He wore that proton pack (I think that was the backpack thing) EVERYWHERE!!! Him and his cousins went as three Ghostbusters the next Halloween, and were so cute. Good times!

please this story has to have a second part help this man!

Muy bueno

Just don't run next time, or you might accidentally get the 4-iron

Ha!! Thats Awesome that you saw this Pablo! One question tho. You didn't have time to hang out with Bill freaking Murry? Lol

Que buena historia Pablo!!! Espero que puedas coincidir nuevamente con Mr Murray!

Good line for a T-shirt!

What about the Twinkie?

Bill has created controversy. Numerous times.

@@Jnor116 yup.

@@Jnor116 You beat me by 20 hours.

@@Jnor116 Same thought just went through my mind after reading the statement!😒

It’s fantastic when you hear that guys you admired for years are good people in real life. Thank you.

Agreed. Met him at Galaxy Con in Richmond, VA in 2019. He was super down to earth and genuine nice guy!

@@MrKenny777 Bill has mellowed with age.

Uh Dan is the only reason why this movie was made from the beginning.... Harold helped co write it later on when those two joined and Bill and Dan has a strong connection because he was the first to be there for Dan when he first came to USA... Ernie came in WAY AFTER the fact they hired him to be a part of the movie... not the same.

@@josueangel4247 I'm talking about the actual movie, not everything that had to happen from start to finish. Don't get me wrong, Stantz and Spengler were the egg heads who made things work. Venkman was the face of the company, but from the audience point of view, Winston was the proverbial every-man drawn into events, the proxy, if proxy is the right word, for the audience to identify with.

I saw that too. It came across tone deaf to me, but I hope your take is more correct than mine

I know what you mean. Watching this one and Fallon, the SNL alumni club thing really comes through.

Agree! Especially on Fallon he asked Dan and Bill about SNL which Ernie couldn't possibly relate to! Bad journalism!

Saw this movie as a kid as well. Definitely one of the GOAT movies.

Same. I was born in '77 & GB was every much of my childhood as George Lucas & Steven Spielberg's movies, Knight Rider, Sat morning cartoons, & Dukes of Hazzard. Looking back at the original movie in hindsight, it's one of the very fc dacement, editing, production design, visual effects, & marketing. At that time, one would have to peruse through films from the "Golden Age of Hollywood" to find other examples of this level of collaborative cohesion. Contemporary examples would probably be something like "The Godfather", "Star Wars", "Raiders of the Lost Ark" - which puts "Ghostbusters" in good company. And you're right, this movie earned every laugh, scare, & moments of excitement/sheer joy. That's not an easy juggling act to keep in the air. With a production that size, it's miraculous; because if any element didn't work, it wouldn't enjoy the success & longevity it has. Remember, it shared '84's box office with "Indy Jones & Temple of Doom", "The Karate Kid", "Beverly Hills Cop", "The Terminator", "Star Trek III", "Nightmare on Elm St", "Sixteen Candles", "Gremlins", "Police Academy", "Footloose", "Dune", & "The Last Starfighter" just to name a few. It could very well have been swallowed up!

Aykroyd

He tells the story of going to buy a house out in LA & was afraid he wouldn't be approved. Little did he know about all the GB residuals 👻😂

Dan and Bill did just jumped at everything and he kinda let them. I mean Seth had to save questions for Ernie by directing them to him specifically. Is that their dynamic in general?

He got to talk a bit more in their other video they posted before this one

Well Ernie did cameo in the horrible Ghostbusters reboot with the all-female cast.

@@gregr3720 They all did. Murray was a professor that (spoiler alert) dies via defenestration, and Aykroyd was a cab driver. Even Ramis had a cameo as a bust in a college

I think it may have more to do with Dan and Bill having bigger larger than life type of personalities, while Ernie is the straight man.

Seriously. SHow some fucking respect. Racist as hell

perhaps this is not the whole interview?

@@gmann6269 but he doesnt in the second. That's all I need to know. The black man gets 30% acknowledgement

"Ray...when someone asks you if you're a God, you say...'YES!'"

First, that's not true. Maybe it was for you, but not for an entire generation. Second, the only thing that comes to mind when I think of that movie is the theme song that Ray Parker Jr., Ivan Reitman and the film's other thieves plagiarized and stole from Huey Lewis.

@@tontoepstein6860 Way to piss in everyone's Cheerios.

@@nomisukeindustries You don't know what you're talking about, "Way to Piss in Everyone's Cheerios" was a TERRIBLE Ackroyd movie.

Yes it’s true, especially if you went to the movies/drive in double features as a kid!!!! It was the beginning of the 80s being a new era of Youth Culture! (Continued with Goonies)

@@sahej6939 Umm...no.

Elwood's still got it.

He’s said that he’s got Asperger’s, which explains a lot. So far, in this promotional tour, there’s been no time for him to talk about his family’s involvement with seances and mediumship, which is too bad.

He clearly doesn't do much cardio though

@@Richard_Nickerson fair. He's a big dude.

@@superschmolz Well, yeah. But I meant the way he was out of breath and clutching his chest after. I'm an overweight guy myself, but I run, so a minute or less of dancing wouldn't nearly kill me like it did him.

Murray's still got it.

I wish John Candy was with them.

That’s why he’s wearing the Order of Canada pin on his lapel….he’s also proud to be called a Canadian.

@@rickroll9086 Absolutely!!

@@rickroll9086 why ?

His Canadian accent is becoming more prominent as he ages.

Bill has 6 sons! He should look worse 😂

@@samanthab1923 Technically his wife had 6 sons. and Bill has continued his film career forcing him to be away for months at a time. Also Ernie Hudsons wife had 4 kids.

Bill and Dan look relatively normal for men their age (Dan's a bit on the bigger side) but Ernie just looks so great it makes the other two look way worse in comparison

ITS MILLER TIME BABY

@@raymondstantz3069 This looks extraordinarily bad!

I love this town! 😊

@@ardiekepoo744 👻😁

You don't often see that type of behavior in a major appliance.

Cry those butterfly tears my boy. Let them all out.

Maybe we should run Bill as President with Ernie or Dan as VP. At least we know they are intelligent

He will only give you a little time then he vanishes. Lol 😂 That man is great! Really good guy!

John bulushi was suppose to be in the movie as well

Remember Ernie on Law and Order?

It's so, so good. Exceeded my expectations. Truly beautiful, heartfelt, funny, spooky... Just everything.

The first trailer/ad I saw for it began with the Ecto-1's horn honking out into the darkness with no other context and I was physically arrested mid-action to STARE at the screen to find out if my kids were pranking me or something. I don't think I realised it was so close to release when the ad played, but it all makes sense when I remember it's Thanksgiving in a week. I have been waiting for this movie for decades. I hate that I'll probably miss it on the big screen, but I'm hoping social media will abound with photos of people waiting in line in full costume. Vicarious is better than nonexistent when it comes to nostalgic thrills. :)

He's great in his role on Grace & Frankie. I've actually never seen him not be great. Would like to see him in more stuff.

@@randibgood i was so excited to see him in Grace and Frankie. Hes great

Glazed over in what way? He didnt write Ghostbusters and he wasnt a comedian like Dan and Bill, he was an actor brought in after Eddie Murphy was too busy doing Beverly Hills Cop and lets be honest here, name one other film everyone remembers Ernie Hudson from?

@@theyellowlightsaber3193 I can name two: ‘Leviathan’ and ‘The Crow’... two films known in the Sci-Fi and Fantasy fandoms.

@@theyellowlightsaber3193 The Crow

Poor woman. Can't imagine how awful it must have been to be Lorne's wife. He probably ignored her in the hallway then served her divorce papers with the words 'don olhmeyer doesn't want you here anymore".

He's about the have another movie, so Gus is doing just fine!!

Burton Guster- greatest character in the history of basic cable! 🤣

Thank you for this comment. 😁

🍍❤🍍❤👻❤👻❤

We will found out tomorrow how Burton is doing! This is Gus! 🍍

I think Seth tried? he had to ask Ernie questions specifically so that Dan and Bill wouldn’t jump for it.

Im mystified as to what exactly people expected Seth to ask Ernie considering his involvement in this specific film was much less than the other three guys who were all professional comedians and two of who wrote the film, now I have no problem with Ernie he did his bit but he only enters the film halfway and he was only there to replace Eddie Murphy, there wasnt much more to be said about his involvement in the film.

what other movie did he filmed? the guy is ok but he has no charisma

@@gussstavo The Crow, Hand That Rocked The Cradle, Congo etc.

@@haqlins8213 anyone that he lead???

I refuse to watch the adolescent Fallon.

I don't even have to. I know this is better.

Let me guess.. Fallon giggled a lot?!

Fallon's a child

Look Murray had bad skin even as a youngster. Of course he's going to look older.

Just like in the movies

They do in the other video posted before this one

Yeh I noticed that too, I couldnt tell if he was just puffed or actually feeling his chest but he is very weighty and at the age he is now he needs to be careful splitting up the floor like that.
