Bill Murray

Seasons 2-5

Bill Murray brought a new kind of energy to SNL when he replaced Chevy Chase midway through Season 2. He had a detached, ironic cool that became his trademark. He was the ultimate lounge lizard Nick Winters, the nerdy Todd DiLaMuca, and a master of smarmy charm on ‘Weekend Update.’ Murray always seemed to be operating on his own unique wavelength, slightly above the fray of the sketch itself. This persona followed him into a legendary film career, where he starred in classics like Ghostbusters with fellow SNL alum Dan Aykroyd. He later evolved into an indie film icon, with his Oscar-nominated turn in Lost in Translation, cementing his status as a uniquely beloved and enigmatic star.
