11 years ago our first guest was our first guest ever to appear on this program this man has a
brand new Motion Picture entitled Groundhog Day which opens all across the United States today
ladies and Gentlemen please welcome back to the program the young the personable Bill Murray bill
thank you
here here's yours you're still here yeah I ran over the other place
did you have trouble in the snow because I know you've been traveling the last 24
hours and I really am very grateful he made the trouble to come in for you thank you
I had a tough time today I had a guy driving me because I really couldn't drive myself and uh
it was snowing all day and I was sort of like saying okay we got to go up to you know 112th
and Amsterdam and you just go you know where that is right now I'm fine I'm from you know
I just sort of dozed off in the back and I'd look on and go why went Park Avenue parking you know uh
oh yeah okay all right he made a seven point turn in 96. seven times it took him to turn the
car around so then I went back to sleep again all of a sudden we're on the street I've never
been on in Manhattan it's called Manhattan maybe North Manhattan street is Manhattan
what street do you live on anyway we and then it was it was like I don't want to get in the slush
there so every time you stop you would have to like parallel park six times Big Shot movie stars
please don't get me in the slide well it turns out the guy I thought you guys I thought his
name was Tommy turns his name is Tomas he's from Barcelona he's never driven in the snow before he
just kept looking for some sort of a bull path to follow completely down you just kept calling
him Tommy Tommy Tommy and there'd be nothing be like Tommy Tommy you know what I was I was
a couple of weeks ago I'm at home on a uh like a Saturday afternoon and I see golf I love televised
golf who doesn't yeah all right I especially I especially love the the seniors tour because
it you know it slows the game down even more yeah because they've got to walk from the cart path to
their ball and then back to the cart path but I'm watching uh the Pebble Beach the the program from
Pebble Beach and my gosh there you are playing golf with those guys yes how did that happen
mix up well they're they're regretting it this week I'll tell you yeah it's very unfortunate
for them you must be a pretty good golfer though no not really no well I'm okay I'm
a caddy though and they think in an emergency well there's one of our celebrities can Loop
in an emergency you know excuse me Bob Hope is falling could you carry his bag
actually I play with uh doctors Dr Scott Simpson and Mark Grace of the Cubs and we just chopped it
around Mark Grace made some money I guess yeah it's like he needs money but uh he's uh kind of
guy you know was it a thrill for you well the bet it was we had a lot of fun we uh and we violated
most of the standards at Pebble Beach but uh we had a lot of fun I threw this lady in a sand trap
and she didn't sue you know and then on the 18th green I made a 45-foot putt in front of like 5 000
people I swear to God I did and here's the amazing thing is the TV cameras didn't have it they faded
the black no yeah yeah they got shots of you know Snoopy on the blimp but they do not have my
hot on the 18th Queen and that's why uh if I could have a moment I know you know I know you
CBS is the network that covered this and uh I will never watch that Network oh fine thank you
sorry oh sure fine sorry but I I not only I'm my friends and my family I don't want to watch
the station any longer and and I'm hoping that all my followers out there and just
friends of the game of golf and show business in general accept well until 11 30 at night we're
gonna make an exception for one guy we're making the exception one guy and who is it
Bill I'm very excited because uh when you were here 11 years ago uh you electrified not only
the studio audience but the home viewers with a musical number a song and it was great do you have
something like that for us tonight that was um that was the thing we were all crazy about at
the time called Let's Get Physical that's right Olivia Newton John Newton John well I was in
a Newton John was an influence and I wanted to but I haven't really uh I haven't really kept my
but like I do have one thing yeah I haven't yeah let me just see if Paul okay
oh yeah we we know that one yeah what do you got over there one two
it's so late night show starring days
foreign
blooper
here
beautiful job wonderful job man that was nice we have to pause for a commercial we'll be right back
here more with uh Bill Murray Bill Murray Rosie Perez also on our program tonight and digable
planets do you enjoy digable planets yeah I saw him on the box the other day I like them
saw them on the box the Box you know the Box channel 50. it's a station where you can call a
phone number and and play whatever video you want no where do you have that it's on TV I
don't I don't get that I've never seen that yeah they got it everywhere almost is that right yeah
it's a big deal it's gonna be big as you can tell which record companies like if there's a bad song
yeah you can tell the record company like calls it 25 times to play this bad song over again and then
there's like somebody that calls in the middle Knight and calls uh like two Live Crew 16 times in
a row you know just to see that is this a little like that uh dance party thing Dick Clark does
I don't have that
ah you know you did this uh the movie Groundhog Day it's a great idea for a
film and I'm surprised somebody hasn't tried something like this in the past but it seems
like a wonderful premise for a motion picture tell people what the idea of it is
it's about a guy who gets uh what's the matter with you they told me to stretch
it's about a fella who uh who gets caught in a day he's a Weatherman in Pittsburgh and
he's got this drag assignment which is to go to Punxsutawney Pennsylvania to cover the Groundhog
Day Festival he resents it he doesn't like to go he hates everybody anytime he goes and he
wakes up the next morning he's there against the same day yeah somehow time stands still
for this man the same 24-hour section of his life is repeated or and or again you know that
feeling well a little a little here tonight yeah uh and and the in the movie you get to work with
a good friend of ours Chris Elliott who used to work on the program yeah was that fun yeah
I mean let me say this it's not fun to work with Chris Elliot really it's
it's a challenge yeah and and an honor it's a funny thing because
we pushed each other it's like until we got quality you know and if he wasn't having to
that take it may still be pushing uh yeah well I mean I don't think it was settled until the
ending room floor uh let's take a look at a clip yeah what are we going to see this is going to be
uh this is the first uh this is the first morning that I've woke I'm saying this bed and breakfast
in Punxsutawney and I'm coming down like the big shot the big guy from Pittsburgh right and this
is when the realization Falls over you that it's still no that'll cost you seven bucks to see it's
something cheap we throw away for the kids okay here we go Bill Murray Groundhog Day watch closely
that's an example who is the actress is that uh she's not really an actress
um she's uh we Shot the movie in Woodstock Illinois and uh that's Angela Patton and uh
Angela we got her out of the Pontiac Correctional Institute oh you didn't yeah you did it was a work
exchange program no she has no formal training whatsoever this is a woman who only got out
because it was like why was she in aggravated manslaughter oh yeah no right is that Winston
widowhood she killed her husband oh and she's now still out making films I guess in the state
of Illinois if you have any remorse at all that counts and if you have some kind of show business
job that'll get you right out well you know how it is it's not who you you know exactly uh bill
you know it's always a pleasure to have you here you're great fun I have uh the greatest respect
for you I think you're wonderfully talented and a very nice man thank you very much so much fun for
me to come here because of the people that you get in this audience I'm not just blowing smoke
the one thing the one thing that you might might miss in your move is when you go over
there is I don't think you I don't know if you get the same crowd because over there
at uh at CBS they they pass out their free tickets over at Penn Central and you guys
Penn Station the Portland but you guys go the extra extra yard and go to the Grand
Central Station to the steam tunnels underneath and get these people here
tonight that's why they're so happy tonight thanks for coming it is a happy audience
back are you okay are you okay
but he's not having a good time
go ahead go ahead Dave all right
sure will you just would you mind maybe want to talk to somebody
is he all right now
is he okay Bill is he all right John's gonna be fine he'll be
fine what's the matter he's just a little a little depressed I don't
know we'll go outside all right take care of him thanks Bill be careful
that's that's very odd I think Bill may have adopted him
if you were watching earlier uh uh Bill Murray uh seemed to have grabbed someone out of the audience
where is he now Hal where Bill Murray Let's uh all right let's see what he's doing bill
are you up can you hear me there is Bill Murray Bill what's up what's happened what's the matter
with the guy oh we're just I I think it's one of those times when we need a little pick-me-up
do you like Trump so it's a nutritional problem well
you know sometimes you have those funny kind of days where you don't feel your best and maybe if
your blood pumped a little faster you might feel a little better so so a little sluggish emotionally
so maybe it's a blood sugar emergency yeah you know we both like chocolate we have a
lot in common that's good that's that's great bill this reminds me of all the
good work that father Ritter used to do right here in New York City
attempts to help this young man out thank you yeah all right well
I tell you what we'll check back with you later hey do you know how to open these
all right we'll see you later all right thanks Bill okay
before we bring Rosie let's see what bill is up to Bill can you hear me yeah there
is a kid from the audience what's going on Bill Johnny's saying it for your own look
alive you gotta you gotta keep saying it because he loves you John gotta come alive
he's talking to you John's voice can't give up like that you can't get off that [ __ ]
what's going on exactly Dave we're having a tough love intervention stand up do it John
the moment of self-doubt where he didn't think anybody cared about it I see good
thinking like before you know I asked the Reverend if he could say something you can
do it get the real John out get him going to speed again all right well good good luck
this is interesting Reverend Reverend Sharpton what was that thing you said about the angels
good luck we'll we'll leave you guys alone up there all

something of himself back to the community nice going bill
