Bill Murray Defends ‘SNL’ Against Viewers Slamming the Show as ‘Lousy’: The Cast Does ‘Stuff That’s Just as Good as Anybody Ever Did, All the Time’
Bill Murray refuses to believe critics who claim the current "Saturday Night Live" cast is "lousy."
Bill Murray appeared on Travis and Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast (via The Daily Beast) and defended the current cast of “ Saturday Night Live ” from critics who say the show has gotten “lousy.” Murray was an “ SNL ” cast member from 1977 to 1980 before making the jump to movie star with comedy hits like “Caddyshack,” “Stripes” and “Ghostbusters” in the early ’80s. “People always give me a hard time about, ‘Oh, the original show was so great and it’s lousy now,’” Murray said. Murray was so gobsmacked by Charles’ “SNL” performance that he didn’t feel like he deserved to stand on stage alongside him at the end of the show during the closing credits.
