- Bill Murray in October 1988
T.J. English was tasked with writing a profile of Bill Murray for Irish America magazine. This was around the time Scrooged came out. So he headed out to Murray's house in New Jersey. The guys sat down and the tape recorder was turned on. Murray's dog ran about and wrecked a little havoc.
Murray cracked wise on giving back to his mom when he made it big, hijinks on the set of Ghostbusters, the spiritual change that saved him from destruction, and how fame sort of helps with talking to women.

Bill Murray openly states he's obnoxious and does it in a way that makes me like him more. That's one likable obnoxious guy.
yeh and he beats woman, what a guy
Freddie Jackson
I know you're trying to make him seem less cool, but you just made him seem more cool, idiot.
@@fred2992jackson Haha even women beat women.
I don't think you've thought about what you are saying here.
@@fred2992jackson I'm sorry what I meant to say is bill murray can hit any bitch he wants because he's famous.
Bill Murray is one cool dude.
+lexi5321 Don't believe the hype.
+rdecredico I think lexi was believing what she just heard, not hype.
yeh like the time he beat his wife
Freddie Jackson when was that?
+Freddie Jackson Actually yes he was cool when he did that too, trust me she had it coming.
damn who knew garfield could be so philosophical
You have never read Garfield?

"People ususally go through a bad period when they're successful..."
Why did that paragraph immediately make me think of Shia LaBeouf?
+chumprock idk? hes been somewhat known for years.. I dont think this applies to him
+chumprock made me think of jennifer lawrence, it wasn't anything of her doing but she had to deal with all those leaked photos of her naked,, it's been a year and she says it's been very traumatic.
+chumprock The question with Shia, like Amanda Bynes, is whether the bad period will ever end. Supporting your family when you're about 12 is very unhealthy for the brain longer-term.
Justin Bieber toi
Man, this comment really holds true, considering his HWNDU stunt.
"People usually go through a bad period when they're successful..."
_"Was there a period like that for you?"_
"Right now."
It's true. After Ghostbusters (1984), Murray tried to do some dramatic acting. After those films bombed, he went into a state of depression and inactivity. He made sporadic appearances (Little Shop of Horrors, 1987; Scrooged, 1988), but things didn't get going again until Ghostbusters 2 (1989).
The Razor's Edge (1984) is a great movie, in which Bill plays a soldier coming to terms with life as a WW1 veteran. But it got trashed by critics and audiences, who wanted to see him do Stripes and Caddyshack again. The experience made him want to quit acting. Incidentally, it was the movie that made Wes Anderson want to cast Bill in Rushmore.
One of my favorite books by one of my favorite authors, but surprisingly enough the 1940s version stayed more true to the book. He did a great job, but I think it missed the mark. I hope one day someone actually remakes it and maybe set it in modern times and explore further into what the author did in the book, which was to digress for a few chapters from the story and actually philosophize a bit. This makes me want to read it again!
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Lost in Translation, and Broken Flowers are what really made me a Bill Murray fan. Oh, and Rushmore.
Zombieland, fuck acting, it was hilarious scene. Thank you Mr BIll for open mindedness Who acts like a ZOMBIE hahaha hahah come on you rock the set, DRAMA. I suck on vinegarred eggs and say what a treat it's not silver screen but I think so :)) no smell o phone there ;) REeks EGGS high hormonal, antibiotics, cut beaks, and gut reeks after eating eggs only turkeys are killed humanely, so fuck my 5cents comment right?
JC Ouellet .....are you ok
"It's not Q and A is it?"
"It is."
"Aw, shit... ALICIA?"
"Yah?"
"CAN YOU MAKE SOME MORE COFFEE?"
No wonder why Hunter S Thompson loved this guy so much. He got it.
eh Hunter S Thompson probably just thought he was funny. HST was an interesting guy yeah, but can't say he's someone I've ever idolized or looked up to lol
Where the Buffaloes Roam is a great movie! Captured the dude perfectly.
@@boppob1343 Yeah, I tried that up until he blew his brains out. That moment made me reconsider the intelligence in hinging your personal identity on the lives of others. Being a character is an appealing choice, but it definetly makes relationships and careers hard to maintain.
The heart of humor is surprise.
"Right now." A master.
HEY HEY, Y'KNOW HEY, *MEATBALLS*.
I've heard that Bill Murray goes beyond just breaking the Fourth Wall...he will get off the stage, sit down next to you, then say to you, "Can you believe this guy?" in reference to the character he is playing. Wisecrack explains it better.
Bill Murray is a lot more creative then he gives himself credit for. I wish he wasn't so picky for roles. The thing is if he did more roles he could take a mundane project and turn it into something truly special. - just from his input.
He did Garfield, boy. Nothing could save that movie.
He takes anything Wes Anderson does though!
What a talent he has. Although he is obnoxious he isn’t a total jerk about it so it’s not too rambunctious. Really though he is just cutting loose and being himself which is charming and refreshing to see. A real class act
I was 17 when I met Bill Murray at a firework show. At the time (2015; Ik, not long ago at this point), my mom worked at the Chamber of Commerce in Lake City, South Carolina, and every spring they would have ArtFields, a huge art festival in the Southeast US, which they would include a "celebrity" judge to pick the winner. That year, Bill was picked to do so since he was good friends with the Mayor. Everyone wanted pictures and autographs from him, but they were denied due to the Mayor being there as well (basically security reasons). On the final night of the festival, May 2, I was in the back of the audience trying to see Bill, slowly but getting closer to the stage. But by the time I got in front, he already left. Then after the awards were given out, the firework show began. I was in the back, again, watching the display. But as I was watching, I heard someone say, "Great fireworks, huh?" Sensing it was at me, I turned to my left and tilted my head upward, and there he was, standing right beside me, about 2 inches from his arm to mine. My eyes widened by such sight, but at the same time, I acted cool so I wouldn't make a scene. So I turned my head back up at the sky and said clear and loud enough for him to hear me, "Yeah it is…"
And if he were to pass, this would be my story featuring him and I. A true legend indeed… ✌️
Stevie von James i bet he appreciated the way you responded so casually as if he were just any ordinary guy
sean M That's awesome dude! I feel like I was there with the way you write. Bill Murray is so chill
Great story man
He lives in Charleston and I was able to talk to him at Mama Kims a local Asian food place
Little did you know, that he himself was the true firework in your vicinity. Haha cheers
I think renaming the video "Bill Murray on Fame" is more appropriate
bob polo FIRE THE GUY WHO COMES UP WITH THE TITLES, BLANK ON BLANK! WE FOUND SOMEONE BETTER! Hell yeah, this is the best thing I’ve ever heard about fame. It’s just being a professional @&#-hole. A charming little snake. Bill...I love Bill, dude! He actually spit some truth about fame! “Bill Murray on ‘fame’”. Perfect.
It may be more appropriate but it is a weaker hook. This is the difference between hundreds of thousands of views, and therefore the difference of of thousands of dollars. If you’re looking for accurate titles, you are on the the wrong website.
It would be amazing if you guys made a Frank Zappa episode, that guy was such an oddball genius. a Stanley Kubrick one would be awesome as well :)
+Alon Dotan I'll push the higher ups for Kubrick!
We're working on it. We've got the beacon turned on.
Real talk.
+Blank on Blank love it all. You guys are great.

I love how he admits it could have been anyone. He just answered the right curtain call and poof, fame and fortune for the lottery winner. Even though others around him clearly deserved it more.
This is the trapping of our profit-driven culture. You have pepper in lottery winners to keep the workers clocked in, but we don't even award accomplishment. All that matters is the lottery makes a worker look free so the other workers don't lose hope and stop working.
Zenn Exile deep shit, cool username too man
Hard work and perseverance has made my life much better than it used to be. My efforts have been rewarded.
but he's not saying they deserved it. he said they didn't keep working at it, so that's why they fail. it's the opposite of winning the lottery: he practically said "keep on working and you'll probably succeed more than if you rely on raw talent"
@NeedsMoreTry
True. The idea that Bill Murray was just lucky is absurd. He’s been making large, diverse groups of people laugh for decades. Very few people can do that.
@@shanesawyer5103 actually lots of extremely talented people can do that. The problem is Bill's peers as well as Bill himself have taken more than they need in the pursuit of all there is to have. And he fully understands his position is that of blind luck. Many hundreds of thousands of people are just as talented, just as deserving, and had just as much to offer. The only difference for them was, "Sorry the position is already taken".
Because, wait for it, there can only be one Bill Murray. Opportunity itself is a limited commodity. Bill could have walked away after 5 or 10 years a very rich man, without a worry in his, or his great grandkids, full complete and prosperous lives. But he wanted more. So unfortunately that means hundreds of thousands of people just as talented and determined as he was, never got a chance to live a debt free and prosperous life.
Bill understands all of this. He understands the guilt of his position and the lack of guilt his peers typically posses. It sickens him, as it should sicken everyone else. A select minority chosen by random chance to represent "the elite" in any frame of reference absolutely depends on the suffrage of the many.
Should billions suffer at the fringe of death through a tortured life of slavery and tedium so "the few" can skip around the world in their private floating town yachts raping children? No of course not, but somehow that is the reality we live in as humans.
Because luck favors the first hungry mouth to the trough with as much as they can eat. Even if what the psychopathic wealth hoarders want to eat is children's genitals. Bill knows he drank as deeply as he could from the town fountain, and he also knows that fountain ran dry leaving most of the town thirsty in his wake.
Bill or any other celebrity/wealthy person on a pedestal. Never defend their monopoly over resources and opportunity. That is not an achievement. It's a mental illness.
"Settle your accounts before you leave the house every day" WOW. {words of wisdom}
It is the animation that makes this clip work. The artist is VERY talented.
Terrific series. Great choices- so many great choices are made in releasing these pieces. Thank-you so much for your work.
These interviews help me get thru my fucked up struggles im dealing with and been dealing with the past few years and my 21 years of hell, it helps with my clinical depression, ptsd, anxiety disorder, panic attacks and my existential worries without taking medications that give me more side effects than help
These are always so so good.
+PogieJoe we try...
@@BlankonblankOrg try really well. Good!
One of my favorites! He's hilarious!
love bill murray
"Out of the way. There's a Mercedes that needs to get through." That's brilliant. I'm going to start doing that.
To Do List:
Louis CK on Comedy
Quentin Tarantino on Shooting quality picture
Martin Scorsese on Cinema
Stephen Fry on Depression/Bipolarity
Onise Okriashvili To Do List... For someone else
Onise Okriashvili George Lucas on Hollywood.
yes Quentin Tarantino PLEASE
Don't do one with Louis CK
A year ago, the was cool. Now, Louis is a sex offender, Quentin Tarantino is getting analysed for psychological and physical abuse on set, they've done one for Martin and Stephen Fry is on his last legs possibly
I could listen to Bill Murray all day.
These videos are fascinating. Why did youtube wait this long to recommend them to me?
I smile every time I see one of these
So we're all smiling :)
Keep em' coming
+David Mikanda yes, sir!
Amazing stuff as always guys. You should do William S. Burroughs next!
You guys are great!!!
Bravo. Can't believe you chopped the Stay Puft man's head off!
Very cool and wonderfully illustrated. I've always thought Bill was one of those guys who had his head screwed on and you could have a beer down the bar with!
How come I just discovered this beautiful channel!
Hurrah, sponsors for contemporary art. 💖❤️💕
Bill Murray is the best
Interesting video wonderful insight.
I will say this... I sure as hell am glad it was Bill Murray that was one of the performers that stuck it out at Second City to go on from there...he sure has a great philosophy about life, and how to handle fame...( not let it go to your head )... a wise man. ....and one hell of a funny
guy.
I dig it! Subscribed.
At my family’s house in St. Louis, there has always been a truck parked in the neighbors driveway with a giant sticker of Bill Murray on the back windshield. Always reminds me of his scene in Zombieland.
Blank on blank videos are great, love the Larry King one lol so funny.
These are all great!!! Is there a Keith Richards one?
The music swells WAY too much between bits.
Please make more of these already....
Very nice piece. Thanks you, you've made my day and given it a little more meaning and purpose. I hope a lot of people give you this kind of feedback, you're doing something good here.
I love how I am accidently going on a blank on blank marathon
Love this guy!!!!
Watching this video has genuinely changed my mind on sponsored content. While I normally resent seeing it on TH-cam, this evokes a familiarity to me of late nights and weekends watching Red Dwarf as a kid, and being pestered by the delays and donations. Today, my beliefs have come full circle. I see that you broke ground for Kickstarter and TH-cam, and have expanded to creating incredibly compelling and thought-provoking original works with serious joy and aplomb. I've got nothing but good wishes for all the folks on your team.
tl;dr : this cured my cold sores
make one with Bill Hicks
+dinosavros black noted.

Bill Murray being interviewed by TJ English ... I’m so happy right now
bill murray for president'
My dad met Bill Murray. He said he was so awesome
Bill ....YOU ROCK !
I'm praying to God that he hasn't done anything shitty he's such a staple of my child hood
That is the sad state of the world I guess.
Never meet your heroes.
With the Internet I would suggest just not having them
@@partydean17 In other words you cannot admire the traits of any human anymore if you want to avoid wrong think.
No, scratch that, you cannot admire anything, because it's indicative of a tyrannically imposed system. Lots of interesting nuance in todays public landscape, wait I mean the opposite.
@@caleb1031 hmm that may be our generations perception being changed. But the reality has always been there. Great men can have terrible flaws. David of the Bible was a horrible sinner. St. Paul was a murderer, and Dr. Martin King Jr. had affairs.
It is obviously good to look up to these men for what they did great but an idolatrous position of men will always fall short of expectations. So now people are confronted with a reality the people of the past did not have to. While it may result in cognitive dissonance it nonetheless can help us grow in appreciation of admirable people without putting them on a pedestal.
So one can have heroes, but one must also know the weakness of man and not have it shatter what a person may have tried standing for.
@@partydean17 I agree completely.
One should not conflate a hero with a perfect human (Such a thing is impossible, so such a belief is unreasonable).
One should rather use them as an example to better attain whatever traits they find admirable. That is the purpose of a hero.
If we cannot celebrate people with admirable traits, then we cannot celebrate anyone at all.
In a time when our youth is most influenced by the most popular Minecraft youtuber of the day, we do ourselves a disservice in tearing down that which inspires us to greater things.
This was good.
Cool video. really enjoyed the animation and hearing from Bill, shame about the audio clarity. Guess the interview was over the phone?
Where do they get their music from? It might fuck up the video but the songs are amazing. I'll buy them if I have to cause most of the songs on blank on blank are from very small but great artists. Tell me!
He's the only celebrity who just became a bumper sticker. No words, just his face. It's like, his whole persona is a philosophy, so no words are necessary. It's just Bill.
your videos are beautiful! all of them!
Bill Murray is a treasure
Are they interviewing Bill Murray or the jazz band? Cause the latter kept on interrupting.
"Right now." lol
Lot of people don't know this but before he got into the whole comedy gig Bill Murray was a serious chemist and a true student of the subject. That's what I really appreciate about Bill, yeah he's funny as heck but that boy is deep as he is wide.
Dear God, Bill Murry is Heisenberg.
I see PBS is still making some good content!
I hope they do one on Jim Kelly!
Murray the 🐐
Bill Murry the Best man😃
nice!
make one with Bruce Lee. Thanks
i love your episode fat its beautiful !
National Treasure.
I clicked on this because the thumbnail said "420k views" and it seemed too good to be true.
Cool!
I just wanted to make a point in saying that...
BILL MURRAY is my favorite actor. I think he's probably one of the greatest actors with high integrity. but then again...I probably read that somewhere and I may be regurgitating opinions of some person who wrote an article. who knows. I just like him...in a way that I don't like others.
Ha ha ha ha ha, "there are better actors than me" ha ha Bill you're a funny guy!!!
A very interesting interview, but I don't understand why they put in all the drawings of Walter Matthau.
Theres just a special sound about cassette tape that makes me super nostalgic. That sound of "High quality but not digital" thats gives my nostalgia chills.
When are we getting a Bill Hicks one?
Best role I think he ever had was Phil in Groundhog Day.
It's Shorties Watching Shorties. I like it!
I hear what Bill is saying. Why can't I just act like an obnoxious ass without people thinking I'm reenacting a scene from a movie or show? The thrill of being a jerk is diluted by the jaded, openness of minds that have seen it all, or are waiting with bated breath with their fingers hovering over the shutter button to capture your insanity for their fame and profit. One feels like a rare creature under constant scrutiny, where every word, gest, and reaction is placed under a magnifying glass and exploited, then canonized to never be seen as an original thought again. Such is entertainment
Henry Miller blank on blank
I was at wallmart and i Didnt have enough money at the register i panic, then i felt a hand on my shoulder, i turned around and there was Bill eff-ing Murray!!!! He payed for all my foods and stuff + he gave me and my mom tickets to his LAS Vegas comedy stunt aweersome person ❤️✌️✌️
❤️
"I know it could've been anybody, it's just a weird lucky thing really. It could've been any actor, there are a lot of actors that are more talented than me, at second city, who quit it before they even got to a paying status, you know? Weird luck, i had no other option"
I also feel like people underestimates luck and overestimates talent, people like to say that " Wow, this guy is really a genius! no wonder he is famous!" but, i really think there may be a lot of interesting people out there, a lot of talented people that didnt make it because of luck, because they arbitrarly choose to go into college instead of going into music or acting or whatever... I don't like when people argue that X musician is a genius or X actor is a genius, they may be people that have much talent and do a lot of good for the world, but, i think we like to call people " genius" just because they are famous... i don't know much about bill murray, but i like how he doesnt go along with people who call him " genius" and just accepts that he may be a normal guy... for the record i do think he is quit different and maybe smarter than the rest of the people... but who knows....
His mention of an elephant may be a reference to his film "Larger Then Life."
He's adorable.
You could make an autobiographical movie of Bill Murray's life using only clips from his movies, and no one would be able to tell.
we will always miss you, what a great actor. RIP Bill
He's not dead.
Hol up! I think the meaning of this comment went right over our heads!
💓
Imma gunna spill da beans on Bill--he is Mullah Nasrudin incarnate. Truly a Follower of the Way and One of "Bob's" nephews.
Would it be too predictable for a Chris Farley one, or has he been covered pretty well by everyone else at this point?
T.J English? I know him from Joey Diaz’s podcast! He’s a great author FYI.😁👍
1:45 I think the thing he said was "Undercut", not the thing that the subtitles said.
I had to check, glad I did
Why was that interview so short
Damn, as an aspiring comedian.. there's so much here
RIP, Bill.
