Bill Murray crashes Kevin Hassett’s CNBC interview: ‘Why is that man always smiling?’
Bill Murray tried to rattle Kevin Hassett during a live CNBC interview and pressed him to repeat a grim line for laughs.
- On Monday, actor Bill Murray interrupted a live CNBC 'Squawk Box' interview with National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, questioning his constant smiling by asking him to recite, "My dog just died."
- Hassett appeared to discuss economic growth metrics and upcoming elections, while Murray joined the set to promote his new Paramount+ travel series, "A Course Called Ireland," alongside author Tom Coyne.
- During the interview, Hassett argued the economy is "hitting on all cylinders," citing 3.4% economic growth in the third quarter, though inflation rose to 3.6% in September from 3.4% in August.
- After Murray pressed him to say "My dog just died," Hassett forced a grimace and replied, "Well is it your dog, or my dog?" before Murray shared an anecdote about the late Janet Reno.
- Hassett concluded by dismissing concerns about polls ahead of Tuesday's elections, marking a contrast between the director's economic focus and the comedic disruption from the "Groundhog Day" star.
