Bill Murray surprised guests at a White House briefing on Friday to discuss one very important subject — baseball.
After press secretary John Earnest gave his briefing, Murray graced the podium and addressed the audience about the Chicago Cubs, while wearing his Cubs gear.
When asked if the Cubs will win, the actor and comedian told reporters, “I feel very confident that Clayton Kershaw is a great, great pitcher, but we’ve got too many sticks.”
“We also have a little bit of autumn in Chicago. You don’t get that in Los Angles,” Murray went on to say. “Trees just die in Los Angeles. In Illinois, they flourish,” he said as the crowd laughed.
According to People, Murray was in Washington, D.C., on Sunday to receive the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. He also met with President Obama while at the White House.
The Chicago Cubs currently lead the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2. If the Cubs make it to the World Series, it will be the first time since 1945.
