Oooh, it was a Chilean Miner Shout Out...

A lone figure in a jumpsuit rose from the earth, jumpsuit, helmet, vest and sunglasses donned. His face covered, it seemed a Chilean Miner had made it to the Spike Scream Awards. Then came the announcement. It was Bill Murray.

So, mystery solved. The construction gear and the black smudge were a shout out to our brave Chilean friends. I also love Sarah Silverman's face when Bill looks her way. She's so psyched. Watch the high quality broadcast from the show below.



If the clip's audio sounds really badly sliced together to you, there's a reason. Bill originally came out to the Ghostbusters theme (as seen below), which we can assume Spike couldn't get the rights to. They also rightfully cut out about a minute of screaming and wrongfully cut out Bill's thank you to the director and actors from Zombieland.

Edit: This was a shortened version of what actually aired. In reality, Bill's full thank you got included along with the Ghostbusters theme! Well alllright!



Of note, this article makes October the biggest month for Ghostbusters 3 related news since... ever! Maybe it's because it's October, but to me there seems to be a ramping of paranormal activity.   Imagine the average amount Ghostbusters 3 news is a Twinkie... well according to the number of articles on the site, this month's news would be a Twinkie 35 feet long weighing approximately six hundred pounds.

Thanks to Proton Charging for the heads up and Ghostbusters Fans for somehow getting the footage a day in advance!
