-Welcome back.
We are hanging out with Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson.
[ Cheers and applause ] Come on!
Uh, we're going to talk "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,"
but before we get into that, March Madness starts next week.
Bill, I know you go to a lot of games
and you're a huge fan. -It's very exciting.
It's the best time of year to be a sports fan.
Actually to be an American, let's face it.
But, uh, it's the Big East tournament is on this week
in Madison Square Garden, and people are crazy.
And you see people wearing funny hats and colors and stuff.
It's a lot of fun.
-When you're watching the tournament,
are you superstitious at all?
-I am superstitious. -You are? Like...
-As a matter of fact, I'm going to the game,
and I'm going to wear the same clothes I wore yesterday.
-You're that s-- Really?
You think that your clothes has something to do
with whether the team wins or not?
-Well, I'd like to feel I'm contributing.
Yeah, sure. -[ Laughs ]
Uh, both of you coincidentally starred
in two of the most iconic basketball movies
in movie history. Ernie, you played, uh,
Leonardo DiCaprio in "The Basketball Diaries."
You actually played against Leo.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Uh, who won?
-I won. I won. Yeah, absolutely.
Uh, you know, in the film.
But in reality, Leonardo kicked my butt.
I'm not a basketball player.
I think they hired me,
assuming because I'm a six-foot-tall Black man
that I could play basketball,
and I can't. I'm very bad at it.
-You couldn't do it?
Uh, Bill, you starred in a film with Michael Jordan called,
uh, "Space Jam." There you are there.
[ Cheers and applause ]
What was it like, uh, spending time with Michael Jordan?
-Well, we had a lot of fun on the job because,
um, uh, it was Larry Bird and Michael Jordan,
and we would do a shot, and then we would cut,
and they'd have to change the camera,
and we'd go play two holes of golf and then come back.
-Oh, that's so fun.
-But, uh, that's kind of a, you know...
I'm still a little, not bitter. We won the game.
And I guess it's about that, but, uh,
you know, I made this --
I made the steal at the end of that game,
and I passed it to Mike, and then I was wide open,
and, uh... -Wow.
-You think that guy would give it back?
You know, they can call him the greatest of all time.
He's a ball hog.
[ Laughter, applause ]
He's a ball hog.
-Oh, my God. Oh, my gosh.
Uh, two of you had very different paths
to this "Ghostbusters" movie.
Uh, Bill, you got your start at Second City doing improv.
Here you are. Here's a photo of you here.
Uh...
[ Cheers and applause ]
Studly.
Did you did you know, right then and there, you go, "Yeah,
I think I'm good at this"? -Well, as a matter of fact,
I was really bad at the beginning.
-Were you? -And so, I did not know.
No, I was really bad. I remember walking out
after the first very challenging improv class
and walking about 75 blocks in the wrong direction,
and then realize, "I got to get out of here,"
and then had to sort of jog all the way back home.
That was pretty bad. But it was, um...
But there were a lot of great people ahead of me,
you know, um, Harold Ramis for one,
and Joe Flaherty, another great guy,
my brother Brian Doyle-Murray,
and, um, a lot of people helped a lot.
And the week I started --
I started the same day as John Candy,
and we were both terrible.
We were both lousy, and no one would work with us.
So it was just Candy and I looking at each other like,
"I guess it's us again, you know?"
So, but it worked out okay for us eventually.
-It did. Uh, Ernie, you didn't come from sketch comedy.
You went to the prestigious Yale School of Drama.
Here's a... -Yeah.
-Look at this guy. -Yeah.
-What comes to mind?
What comes to mind when you see this photo?
Well, I took that photo, I think it was in '67.
I was in Detroit at Wayne State University.
And once I decided to become an actor,
that was what a successful actor looked like.
That was on my composite that I sent out to get acting gigs,
but I thought I was really fly, I was really cool.
That outfit was...
-You looked really good. You're a stud.
-Yeah, it's pretty studly. Pretty studly.
-I like that.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Uh, you must have fans from around the world
coming up to you, big "Ghostbusters" fans.
I happen to have one random shot I found of you, Bill,
with this tiny intruder sitting on your head.
Whose baby -- Whose baby is this?
-That's not my baby.
-Oh, no, that's not yours.
This is not an episode of "Maury."
We're not getting into this.
"Bill, you are the father." Yeah. Uh, yeah.
-He looks happy enough to be my kid.
He's happy enough. -Yeah.
Uh, Ernie, anything like this ever happen to you?
-Um, well, I mean, a lot of strange things happen.
I was in Chicago, and a young lady asked me,
would I give her away? They were getting married
in a couple of hours, and would I give her away?
And I said, "But, you know, I don't really know you."
And she said, "Oh, yeah, but you do.
We met before, and you signed my ankle."
And I said, "What?"
So, she had -- I had apparently signed her ankle,
and she had it permanently tattooed.
And she showed me the tattoo.
And so, Margo Kidder was there,
and so, me and Margo did the wedding with her
and gave her away. -Yeah. You did it?
-Yeah. -That's awesome.
That is awesome that you did that.
I love it.
[ Laughs ]
It's time to get a tattoo.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-It took 40 years.
♪♪
There you go. Yeah, yeah.
There.
Yeah.
Now that...
-What's up?
-That is when you know you've made it, okay?
-We'll go to the tattoo parlor before the Garden tonight.
Uh, let's talk about "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire."
The franchise is back in New York, where it belongs.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-We should -- it's, um --
I saw it for the first time last night.
It's going to be really big, folks.
I hate to say it, but it's going to be really big.
It's going to be a big, sloppy movie
that you're really going to like.
It's really fun. It's really good.
And we we got here -- we wrote down --
there's a lot of people in it.
I can't remember all their names because there's so many of them,
but they're -- everybody was really good in the movie.
You know some of the deadbeats to begin with.
Dan Aykroyd is amazing in that movie.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Yeah, yeah. That, uh, Finn Wolfhard is --
-Finn Wolfhard. He's really good.
He's really good. Go ahead.
-Okay. Uh, Paul Rudd. -He's good.
-Yeah. McKenna Grace. -She's spectactular.
-Oh, my gosh. -She's very good, yeah.

and she's busting ghosts.
Kumail Nanjiani. -Yeah.
-He's really funny. He's a really funny guy.
-Yeah, he really is. Patton Oswald.
-Yeah, Patton Oswald is really funny.
-There's a lot of people.
-There's a lot of people. Logan Kim, Celeste O'Connor,
James "Ocaster," Bill Atherton.
-"Acaster" is how he says his name.
-Acaster? Okay.
-He doesn't say his last name much.
He goes by Jimmy. -I didn't get his last name.
-Everyone does. -And Bill Atherton,
who was [bleep] in the first movie,
is [bleep] in this one, too.
[ Laughter, applause ]
-[ Clears throat ]
[ Laughs ] Typecast.
Typecast.
Uh, Carrie Coon was on the show the other day,
and she was saying that when she put on the pro-- proton pack,
that she was kind of nervous because she didn't know
how to act with the pack and how you act
because, well, the special effects,
and you guys were nice enough to bring an actual proton pack
here to the show.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Do you mind if I put one on? -Yeah, no.
-Go right ahead.
-Alright, so it's got some heft to it.
-Yeah. They're heavy. -Yeah. It's, um...
-Yeah. -It's actually not --
-This room could stand a sweep, anyway.
-Yeah. It's not -- it's not -- -You good?
-Hold on. Okay.
-You have to get it on right. -Yeah.
-There you go. -This feels pretty good.
-The, uh, buckle in the front here.
-Oh, yeah. Here you go.
-Buckle him up. Here, suck it in, suck it in.
-You're a Ghostbuster. -Suck it in.
-So, the movie comes out next week --
-There you go. -...in IMAX.
Wow. This feels -- no, look at this.
This is why I'm not a Ghostbuster.
-No, no. Not yet. -No, no, no, no.
-It's okay. There you go.
It's, um...
-Yeah. So, when I'm --
This is why I wasn't cast in the movie,
but do you hold it here? And then here's --
when I would aim it, I would -- -Well, you got it upside down,
but no, you're good. No, I'm just kidding.
-When you're acting, do you just --
because I would be like, "Uh, let's go, guys.
Let's get these ghosts." -Okay.
-Yeah, yeah. No, no, no.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Oh, no, no, no. -That bad?
-Yeah. No, no, no.
You got to hold it with authority, like you...
-Yale drama school. Show him how this goes.
-With authority. You got to, you know,
when you grab it, just...
Just grab it like, you know, the ghost --
the ghosts know they're in trouble
when you point it, the ghosts know to back the hell up.
-Look. -You know?
Yeah, there you go. Put a little attitude into it.
Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Yeah, I like that. -Right.
-Yeah. There you go.
-I want to show everyone a clip.
