Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Cast Television Talk Show Appearances

With Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire set for release in theaters within the next 24 hours, the promotional train is running at full speed. Over the past week, many of the cast appeared on various TV talk shows.

These are mostly U.S. shows, though there are some international shows in here. This is not meant to be a complete list, nor are these meant to be complete interviews. In some cases, these are only the Ghostbusters-related talk. Runtimes listed are for the entire online video, which may not be the complete appearance. This whole list was compiled mostly by MrMichaelT, though I refined it, restructured it, and spend a whole day adding in all of the details.

• CBS Mornings - Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts, Paul Rudd, Mckenna Grace (11:15, GB Entire)
(The show was broadcast live from 7:00-9:00am Eastern. The online video only includes the main portion [at 8:11am & 8:21am] of the cast interview. Missing is the footage that preceded it: 7:55am was the Peter clip and the two male hosts playing with Proton Packs; 8:07am was Gayle King and the two male hosts sitting on/around a blue couch with all of the Ghostbusters guests to set up the segment after the next commercial and wave "Hi" to the home audience. A second or two when the show went to commercial break mid-way and at the end is missing.)

GBFE FILM CLIPS SHOWN: Sewer Dragon "I have a ghost to bust".




• Tonight Show - Bill Murray & Ernie Hudson
(Clips are listed in chronological order per the TV broadcast, with each clip following each other; though the intro and outro to the musical performance is missing - which means the short bit of Bill walking towards the house band [The Roots] and dancing along as they play the song is not here. Part 3 is missing seven seconds at the end of Jimmy playing around with the pack as the house band plays to commercial.)

• El Hormiguero - Paul Rudd, Mckenna Grace, Finn Wolfhard (5:07) (talk show in Spain)
This clip features the cast trying to play the Ghostbusters song on harmonicas using vacuum cleaners. The audio is entirely in Spanish, but it's not hard to figure out what's going on.
* There are three additional clips from the episode on the show's Youtube channel, but the English spoken by the actors is dubbed over by a Spanish translator, making it hard to actually hear their responses. Also, the questions they are asked are about Friends (Paul), Stranger Things (Finn), and Mckenna's career; making them irrelevant to this article.
