-When you first did the original "Ghostbusters" --

did you know that it was gonna be a hit?
When did you know? -Yes, I did, um...
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
-I did. -You actually did.
-No, I actually did.
We were, um -- we went to Thanksgiving dinner
at the director Ivan Reitman's house,
and he showed us, like, an early cut of the first scene
of capturing the first ghost, and it was so extraordinary
that when we went back to work on Monday,
you know, the crew was like, "Okay, we're ready."
And I was like, "Relax, everybody.
We got a big one here." -"It's gonna be..."
[ Laughter ]
"We can all take our damn sweet time now.
This is gonna be good." -Yeah.
You've had the same feeling? -Uh, no.
The, uh -- [ Laughter ]
No, Bill knew, but I --
It was the first time I saw it with an audience.
And something happened in the very beginning
when Bill was interviewing the couple,
and something came over the audience,
and they were laughing out of control.
And I knew that this was something
beyond your normal film.
And I knew then that this was special.
-Not only was "Ghostbusters" the number-one movie,
but you also had the number-one song.
The theme song, "Ghostbusters," is fantastic.
[ Cheers and applause ] -Yeah.
Ray Parker Jr. -That's right.
-Yeah. -Number-one movie,
number-one song.
I mean, you had the whole country,
you had the whole world, really,
watching and talking about "Ghostbusters."

No. We actually have a clip of the video, too.

and we just kept walking back and forth doing it.
And they thought, "These guys are --"
You know, how there's, like, a naked cowboy
out there in Times Square? [ Laughter ]
He was more interesting than we were.
They were -- They were concerned about us.
We just kept going like this.
