I rarely find the guy funny. He's had a few good moments but I remember sitting through What About Bob and not laughing one time. His humor just doesn't translate for me.
Joe Furey is a comedian/writer/producer whose various credits include Late Night with David Letterman, Newsradio, Watching Ellie, and Talkshow with Spike Feresten, as well as the feature film Love and Support.
@@joepermenter7228 haha, I am a dummy. I haven’t seen it in so long that I don’t even remember that, think I will have revisit a great movie. Thanks for making me think about it.
I remember this. The rest of it was a camera showing bill paying the guy behind that door to make him look like a tough guy. LOL Great stuff Bill! Well planned!
Bill Murray was most certainly that raw. He used to work with Del Close and others in the Chicago improv scene, and has described that time as being very formative for him. I'm sure he could improvise any situation thrown at him.
I think Bill should have went out the stage door for a few seconds and then come back in covered in blood saying, "he won't be heckling you anymore Dave."
Joe Furey (Heckler) is an Emmy nominated writer/producer/comedian whose various credits include Late Night with David Letterman, Newsradio, Watching Ellie, and Talkshow with Spike Feresten, as well as the feature film Love and Support.
Letterman always had the best bit players like him. More so on NBC. I found the CBS show almost unwatchable compared to LateNight it played too much to an older audience and lost 90% of it's edginess.
I'm surprised Joe found work in the entertainment industry after his horrible treatment of Mr. Murray. Impressed how Mr. Letterman was able to keep his cool and remember his sacred vow.
I think the funniest thing about this video is that so many commenters on it assume that the audience wasn't fully aware that the whole thing was staged.
When I was at the PLAV in Cudahy on a Friday night, I saw...in the corner....Bill Murray and Terry Wasinski bowling and drinking Schlitz Shorties. That's when I knew.
One time in Pittsburgh I had breakfast with Bill in the hotel we were staying. Did you know he’s a big fan of crochet? No, me neither. I was quite surprised, but he showed me the hat he was working on. We became great friends.
I don't think they fell for it...even in the 80s. They just whooped and hollered for the fun of it. Like this is how we'd react if it was REALLY happening.
No, a fake? Noooooo. Did NO ONE here actually watch Late Night? Of COURSE this guy is a plant-he's one of the writers! It's called comedy, folks. This happened all the time on this show. And I can tell from experience that the rest of the audience was real. The old days of Late Night were pretty loose and anything could happen. That was the magic of the old Dave.
I could tell it was fake but I wasn't sure if the audience was in on it (at least before Bill Murray actually got up there). Thanks for clearing it up.
Who else saw this and got the first minute thought it was real? Murray is a national treasure and that "audience member " will always have this memorable moment. Lmfao
I remember Robin Williams talking about legal insanity - essentially that you can do things or get away with being nuts as long as you are entertaining - I think Bill Murray fits into that category very well.
This clip reminds me of a review I once read of Letterman's show long, long ago, when he was just becoming popular. The reviewer said the show wasn't a talk show--it was a parody of a talk show.
He was a plant??? No way!!! I thought it was a real heckler. Thank you Collin C. Thank you sooo much. Where would us dummies be without such a smart guy like you. God bless you, Sir. God bless you.

I saw bill at a Chilis in Boston. He ate a fry off my plate on his way out the door. He looked right at me and said, “no one will ever believe you.” 🤣
this comment made me laugh so hard, because i know its true
Flipping hilarious...
I believe 🧚🛸🔮⛄
To bad Bill is a Pederast.
No way.
If you had said "He ate a pry of my flate on his day out the woor" then it would have been equally unbelievable.
That heckler is conan and bill burr's love child
That is such a perfect comparison
I thought so too, like conon before plastic surgery or wearing a mask 😅😂
looks like Conan Obrian ha
I had to scroll down SO FAR before I reached a comment about how ill fitting Murray's suit was. Hope this helps future generations...
Suits suck, slave outfit.
@@JollyRoger150 good suits are cool as hell
yes this helped.. hello from 2021..
Because he had too easily move and kick probably, thuhh.
Seemed to have been the preferred fit in the 90s. Remember Friends? Bellowing bowling shirts and ill-fitting suits ahoy.
I can't believe anyone would even think for a second that Bill wanted us to believe this was real. It's a joke. And Bill Murray is hilarious always.
Bill Murray is a notorious troll though.
I rarely find the guy funny. He's had a few good moments but I remember sitting through What About Bob and not laughing one time. His humor just doesn't translate for me.
Only an idiot would believe that was real
Don't know about hilarious but it is poorly staged.
He was right.
Man, Conan O'Brien was really high strung in his early years.
Axel why are you watching Lettermen videos
Wow he does look like him
I was wondering if he was a plant.
@@MrTrincent No, he was a person.
@@MrTrincentDefinitely a plant...person.
Furey went on to be a writer on NewsRadio, one of the best sitcoms ever. Very surreal show.
I love news radio I have it on DVD
I love when Bill does Letterman. He always brings something new to the show and these two have a great chemistry..
One of the best things I like about him is that he irritated the beJezus out of Richard Dreyfus.
@jondough930Lol yup
The heckler actually wrote this entire bit, with Bill adding some improv lines.
Bill's the man. Actor, comedian, defender of David Letterman, bouncer. He can do it all.
the lady behind him is the best thing about this
Her expressions?
A 90s Karen
@@BenjaminGesselSure but really just her goofy face in general.
The heckler sounds like and kinda looks like a young Bill burr.
Joe Furey
No he doesn't, four yrs latee.

This comment feels heavy with carbohydrates
Bill Murray has always been one of my favorite comedians. I love it when he does unpredictable things. 😅
/like this is unpredictable :-D
One of Conan's relatives
Almost looks like Conan himself in the younger years.
he's conan's first cousin, the red hair, the verbose persona----two giveaways right there . . .
😂😂😂
@@philmiller99Not really lol
Trust Bill Murray to bring along his own heckler when appearing on late night TV.
Back off man... I'm a scientist!
What does that have to do with it?

Should've included that in this vid.

The dream of every stand-up comedian.
Joe Furey is my best friend's brother. A very talented writer on many shows and such a good sport for being Murray's foil in this skit.
Is he a cool guy normally?
The fact that it was fake makes it funny…and as much as I love Bill, the heckler was the funniest part.
I was real, Daniel Forsyth sued him after the show for 50 thousand pounds
Bill is a pedo. always was
Not fake, just a comedy sketch.
Bill Murray was absolutely one of the best guests on the old Letterman show.
I think Bill should have went out the stage door for a few seconds and then come back in covered in blood saying, "he won't be heckling you anymore Dave."
Loved the Dave Letterman show....wish he never had to retire,Bill Murray hilarious to...stay safe America and enjoy life🙂🤠🍻👍
Greetings from Australia
The term " the world is his stage" has to be applied to Bill Murray. His antics outside showbiz are as good as his movies.
why is everyone saying this is fake? that's definitely Bill Letterman and David Murray
lol
Yeah & it's definitely Conan O'Brien! What are they complaining about? Nothing fake about that.
Now thats funny
@JB GTO you're the expert ain't cha
It’s definitely Conan show from TBS #CoCoteam 😂
The fact that this video has over 1.6 million views is more funny than the video itself.
Classic bill. This is why i grew up waitinf for a bill murray interview. Never knew what you were gonna get
The expressions on the face of the woman behind the heckler are solid gold.
That's more Bill Murray than in the movie the ear pull is totally from ghostbusters 2 wow omg

Stop tooting your own horn Joe.
Thanks Wikipedia

I think the funniest thing about this video is that so many commenters on it assume that the audience wasn't fully aware that the whole thing was staged.
The woman behind him clearly thinks this is real at first.
This should happen to every heckler.
Was this the era of over-sized suits?
it's a wild conan o'brien!
The two guys in front of the heckler are in on it too. So is the guy to the heckler's right; the guy with the aisle seat.
"Hey pal...say what you want to me, but you leave David alone, mmkay?"
Bill Murray can't melt steel beams
XD
No one loves Bill Murray more than Bill Murray.
Maybe his mum?
When I was at the PLAV in Cudahy on a Friday night, I saw...in the corner....Bill Murray and Terry Wasinski bowling and drinking Schlitz Shorties. That's when I knew.
Bill Murray in his prime was unstoppable force of nature
Until they done him in zombieland
He had the power of two thousand bottles of whiskey.
All life is PRIME 🎶
Then he decided to become a trump supporter and destroyed his legacy 👎
Who cares if it was staged, THAT WAS FREAKING AWESOME.
Bill Murray is so damn funny to me 😆😆
It's fake?? Really??!! Thank you, youtube geniuses, for cluing us all in!
Oh no....the pleasure is all of our "CLLLEEEAARRLLY" inferior intellects!
It may be fake, Bill made it real.
This shows what a brave man Bill Murray is. Not many people would have the courage to stand up to a heckler like that!
It was a bit. You know that, right?
I sure hope this comment or is being sarcastic..,,
Its a joke , thats the whole point.
One time in Pittsburgh I had breakfast with Bill in the hotel we were staying. Did you know he’s a big fan of crochet? No, me neither. I was quite surprised, but he showed me the hat he was working on. We became great friends.
Still funny even though it's fake. Bill murrays a legend
"Every pizza is a personal pizza, if you try hard enough, and believe in yourself."
@@vickryan That kind of thinking may have been what killed Lowell George of Little Feat.
Quote by Bill Murray. (i hope that's accurate. To the best of my knowledge.)
Well as was said...
Joe Furey WAS a writer on the show ...He sure can't act very well...
I know right? Acting unruly, yelling, hurling insults, I mean, that's not how you act during a show.
i love how the 90's were all about oversized suits
These were the days.we didn’t know how good we had it.
heckler looks like conan obrien haha
Ladies and gentlemen Bill Murray performing "I wish I was Andy Kaufman".. what a wonderful performance!
I guess people actually bought that, at that time lol
You dont have to think its real for it to be funny
No, Dave's viewers could see that it was fake and thought it was fun.
Wow 80's folks were fucking retarded
I don't think they fell for it...even in the 80s. They just whooped and hollered for the fun of it. Like this is how we'd react if it was REALLY happening.

Ok, first of it all it says it in the description. Second of all there's dozens of comments that said it was. Quit patting yourself on the back smiley
1:55 " Fucking Kill him Bill!" HAHAHAHA
Woody Harrelson was having a heck of a time there!!
Milo García I thought that was Woody... nice catch there
Lol wtf that's not woody
I thought so too. At first
Gee, 1990's Television sure was a lot more interactive than I remember!
you should've seen Jerry Springer in the day when the audience wanted to fight the guests
It was the fact the camera was pointed right at him and people know his name
literally in the title
David Michael Letterman (12 de abril de 1947) es un presentador, comediante, escritor y productor de televisión estadounidense.
76 AÑOS. (77)
well this isn't staged at all....
+Josh Griffiths yeah, this totally fucking happened
+Josh Griffiths Of course it was staged Paul Giamatti is right there in the front row!
wow, sarcasm don't come across well on the internet!
+Aoken Yes it is, are you really serious?
+Aoken Staged is ok as long as its good staged this is really bad staged
It cuts off before you can see Chris Farley backstage watching Murray.
That was great!! One of the funniest things I've seen on that show.
Joe Furey is a producer and writer, known for NewsRadio (1995), Talkshow with Spike Feresten (2006) and Late Night with David Letterman (1982).
I love both Murray and Letterman but to me the only funny part was at 1:42 when Dave takes a sip of his coffee.
That was real! As real as professional wrastlin'!
Who else saw this and got the first minute thought it was real? Murray is a national treasure and that "audience member " will always have this memorable moment. Lmfao
Bill Murray is a comic genius!
That heckler looks like conan be funny if it was.
like Conan, BUT funny :/
scotty ha ha dude im on a comedian vs heckler marathon and i think I've seen your comments on most of the videos.
The best part of this is the guy in the phone row laughing his ass off.
Is the heckler Conan??? O'Brian???
He’s the lounge lizard singing Star Wars in the Auto Train bar car.
Seriously, who would dress up like the guy in front of the heckler to go on a show like this?
Amen!!
+Xe M The early 90's / late 80's world of fashion was a scary, scary time and place.
+Xe M it was the 90's
+FabyBaby 36 Cool! Thanks for letting me know man.
Can you imagine the abuse an in-form Letterman would rain down on a heckler? It would be something to behold.
I remember Robin Williams talking about legal insanity - essentially that you can do things or get away with being nuts as long as you are entertaining - I think Bill Murray fits into that category very well.
such a great set up.....the inner comic would love to do this
FOR ALL THOSE PPL SAYING this is fakeFFS really...Heckler(Joe Furey)
So.... you're saying they doxxed the previously anonymous heckler?
Sure dude, it was. So was Jerry Lawler and Andy Kaufman on Letterman way back when. The best show in town to pull that stuff!
it's still real to me dammit!
This clip reminds me of a review I once read of Letterman's show long, long ago, when he was just becoming popular. The reviewer said the show wasn't a talk show--it was a parody of a talk show.
Good thing there was a lifeguard, cause they were drowning in laughter! bah-dah-bum!
When Bill asked is he allowed to say that on tv at 0:30 I thought he said something about youtube. lol
it may have been fake but it was still amusing
Cubs world series run i drank with bill in chicago. Hahaha. Good dude, loves the spot light.
The "heckler" looks a little like Conan.
A little?
Never miss with bill murray
is that Conan O'Brien?
Bill asks "Can you say "screw you" on TV?" but at the end when they're at the exit door you can hear him say "Shut the fuck up"
The guy was a plant folks.
Ummm no. He was a human. Plants grow out of the ground dummy. Nice try.
He was a plant??? No way!!!
I thought it was a real heckler.
Thank you Collin C. Thank you sooo much.
Where would us dummies be without such a smart guy like you.

Most of the time when comedians destory hecklers they are plants. Not all of the time but most.
Adam Warren Never thought of it like that but seeing this and Bill being so 'spontaneous' it makes me wonder.
LOL - that lady behind him can't believe he's saying "screw you!"
what's the point of a fake heckler?
boosts the ratings I assume?
yeah, maybe.
so people who think it's real will spread it to their friends...oh hey!
For the lols
+swerdna1970 Ummm, to create a funny, uncomfortable situation?
I'm guessing you don't get a lick of what Andy Kaufman was trying to do, either.
You know, Bill better than anyone should know violence is never the solution
SOOOO FAKE! OMG!!! GIMME A BREAK THATS SO FAKE!!! JUSTIN BIEBER WOULD NEVER BE THAT FAKE AND WOULD NEVER SAY NEVER!!!
That’s the most violent thing Bill has ever done. After the machine gunning of Russians in Stripes
"Stripes"!! Classic early Bill Murray movie!
