Fun fact: The audience member was Late Night writer Jon Beckerman, who would team up with Rob Burnett to create and produce “Ed,” “The Knights of Prosperity,” and “We Made This Movie.” He was also the de facto Head Writer on Late Show for a while.

Pure comedy genius, the build, to an Absurd Level. Murray leaning in to it, then Sharpton with the total over the top. I absolutely love it and miss it terribly. Thanks Dave for being true to the comedic art form!

Today is 2 February. And Groundhog Day was a great story

Still no talk show host has come close to approaching Letterman's greatness. Conan is back there somewhere though.

When late night talk shows were the best

I love the commitment to a gag, including having Bill Murray AND Rev. Al Sharpton in on it

I love how he does the same way of entering the show like he did back in the very first show, just waiting a bit :D

I remember watching this as a kid and thinking… 112th and Amsterdam… that’s by my apartment. Bill Murray was going somewhere around here. Probably Tom’s diner which I used to go to frequently with my mom and brothers. I could have seen him. Then he mentions Manhattan Ave. The apartment I grew up in and where my parents lived until I was 19 was on 108th btw Columbus and Manhattan Aves. Manhattan is actually a really long Ave, like 30 blocks but nobody knows it, even people from Manhattan, because it starts at like 100th st.

William James "Bill" Murray (Evanston, Illinois; 21 de septiembre de 1950) es un actor y humorista estadounidense. Obtuvo su reconocimiento en el programa de humor Saturday Night Live, actuación que le valió obtener un premio Emmy, y más tarde protagonizó películas cómicas como Caddyshack (1980), Los Cazafantasmas (1984) y Groundhog Day (1993). Obtuvo elogios de la crítica por su actuación en películas como Lost in Translation (2003), por la cual fue nominado al Óscar, y en producciones dirigidas por Wes Anderson como Rushmore (1998), The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) y The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004).

Did Bill Murray get his vibrato from Bryan Ferry?

They don't make late shows like this anymore.

Bill Murray is HOT ...

Manhattan Avenue (1:55) is indeed a street in Manhattan, running north to south from 106th to 116th street on the westside. You're welcome.
