Pajiba Exclusive: Bill Murray Is Awesome

Jay Leno returned to the “Tonight Show,” last night, where Jamie Foxx apparently sprayed champagne on the audience and did an embarrassing “Welcome Back … Jay Leno” callback (the champagne spraying was probably a metaphor for something, but I’m not fucking Freud, people. You figure it out). Did anyone catch Leno’s return? Please God, say you didn’t? Do not tell me you tuned in to that blubbering sycophantic company man to watch him completely erase the last trace of Conan’s memory over on NBC, you ass-raping traitors.

Meanwhile, over on Letterman, Bill Murray — who was Dave’s first guest on both his old and his new show — appropriately came on to counter-program Jamie Foxx’s corporate ass-kissery. Murray, per usual, gagged it up, but the pertinent information from last night’s broadcast was that Murray — like many of us — feels that Ghostbusters 3 is a “nightmare,” revealing that he’d only do it if they managed to kill him off in the first reel. Apparently, they’ve done just that (word is, he’ll be appearing as a ghost afterwards).

Catch the clip, and hang out for a pretty fun Ghostbusters-related anecdote:



How great is Bill Murray, people? And of course he doesn’t want to do Ghostbusters. When Bill Murray sells out, he doesn’t show his face (see Garfield). The man’s a national treasure. He and Betty White should be frozen and put into the Smithsonian. (But not until after Ghostbusters 3 — I mean, if they’re going to make it anyway, we may as well get a few minutes with Murray).

Leno got good ratings last night. Gross.

At first I was like..."Where's the exclusive?"

Then I got it.

His anecdote about singing the Ghostbusters song on the street in NY after being put in a Peter Venkman mood was pretty good.

All of these late night shows are on way past my bedtime, but I've never been a fan of Leno anyway. He's just not funny.

Maybe Ghostbusters 3 should be about the foursome going out to L.A. to vanquish the ghost of Jay Leno's comedy career, which is apparently trying to take over the world. Don't tell me all these earthquakes and tsunamis and whatnot keep happening coincidentally around the same time Leno keeps giving CPR to himself.

God I love him. Seriously. Bill Murray? Look me up, I'm on Facebook. I will leave my husband for you.

Yes. It's true.

Leno has no dick.

Send me your address, teacupnosaucer. I can't promise love, but I'll get you high and fuck you, if that's cool.

branded, you just made my freaking day!

Posted by: Your Mom at March 2, 2010 12:41 PM

No. I think Leno is about as funny as a cup of acid to the face.

But given that shows like American Idol, Dancing with The Stars,, and Survivor are all top rated shows it doesn't surprise me that his show is highly rated.

I loved Bill Murray in Broken Flowers and the Coffee and Cigarettes skit he did with those guys from Wu-Tang. Classic.

I won't even so much as click on any kind of "Leno's return" article. I couldn't stand him going all the way back to Carson's retirement.

Aw Bill, it would have to be at your place baby. The husband and all.

Posted by: teacupnosaucer at March 2, 2010 2:51 PM

Aw, come on. Let's invite the hubby. I'll get my proton packs and Zombieland makeup.

Let's get weird.

Posted by: Bill Murray at March 2, 2010 3:01 PM

Why didn't you mention the proton packs in the first place? He'll be there with bells on. So to speak. (That's a weird mental image.)

I cut an apple in half and watched it turn brown. I'm sure it was more interesting than watching Leno last night.

Posted by: The Wanderer at March 2, 2010 3:54 PM

It saddens me that Leno got good ratings. I was hoping for an epic fail.

But at least I didn't watch. My self-righteousness is intact.

I just want Bill Murray for the cuddles. Seems like he'd give good cuddle. And add jokes. Cuddly jokes are good.

Who cares!!! My boyfriend also agrees with me. He is 10 years older than me, lol. We met online at age-gap club http://AgelessMeet.COM/. It's fabulous! Maybe you wanna check out or tell your friends.

Posted by: Mandy at March 3, 2010 11:17 PM

haha, Leno is so crazy! I love him.

I know this is off topic.. What blog platform are you using? I know it's not Wordpress, but it looks really nice.

I truly appreciate you taking the time to post this. I really liked reading it and am looking forward to more posts from you! Keep 'em coming.

Talking about the stock exchange is always interesting and enlightening. I'll wait for the next posting. Thank you.
