Bill Murray takes over White House briefing room

WASHINGTON — No, this isn’t a scene from an upcoming comedy film — actor Bill Murray did, in fact, take over the White House briefing room on Friday.

Murray is in D.C. to receive the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, but dropped into the White House in his Chicago Cubs gear. In a video shared by NBC News, Murray shared his thoughts on the Cubs and autumn in Chicago versus Los Angeles.

Murray will be awarded the nation’s top prize on Sunday at The Kennedy Center, in a ceremony that will feature an array of performers including David Letterman, Aziz Ansari, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver and more.
