| "People do Ned to me hundreds of times a year..." And some wonder why celebrities don't always enjoy being recognized in public... |

| And I imagine each fan thinks he's being original. But to me, it sounded like Murray was just stating it as a matter of fact. Not as a major annoyance or something he loathes. For what it's worth, it was reported that Murray was happily chatting with fans and taking selfies at ''Groundhog Day.'' I gotta imagine that the show must've tried to get Murray to attend months ago. His ''Groundhog'' co-star, Andie Macdowell, was there in April and loved it. Maybe Murray was hesitant to go; here, he cited his apprehension. And if he had hated it, it could've backfired on the musical. And now, Murray can't rave enough. He was initially booked for a 7-minute spot on WNYC, but went on for 17 minutes. If you listen to the broadcast, the interview sounds like it only ended because fill-in host Jonathan Capehart had to wrap it up, so he could move on with the rest of the program. |

| I certainly wasn't implying anything negative about Murray or his feelings. I agree it sounds matter of fact. | |

| I've heard over the years that Bill Murray is one of the most approachable of stars, not that one should bother him like if he is eating dinner or otherwise engaged; but he has a reputation of being very friendly and down-to-earth. He probably thinks of it as an in-joke that since he starred in the "Groundhog Day" film and it is a classic comedy, why of course, fans might think he would appreciate being greeted like Ned. He just states matter-of-factly in a way that this isn't a very original way to approach him though. Thank God someone with a very different reputation from Saturday Night Live, Chevy Chase, didn't star in "Groundhog Day". Can you imagine his interaction with fans! | |
