Bill Murray was the first guest on Late Night with David Letterman, all the way back in 1982. Last night, he appeared as Letterman's last official guest in his second-to-last ever show, and celebrated by popping out of a cake, then bringing out a bottle of what appeared to be vodka to do some shots with the departing late night TV icon. Later in the evening he appeared on MSNBC's The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell, where he fell out of a chair, saying that he'd had too much to drink before his appearance. "I just did the Letterman show, went to dinner, had oysters, rose wine, red wine, duck, and a hanger steak and then rushed here to do your show," he explained.
