While being interviews as partners on the televised celebrity golf tournament, ‘The Match’, Wayne Gretzky and Bill Murray laughed at a fellow golfer for crashing their cart in the middle of an interview.
The greatest hockey player of all-time and the ‘Ghostbusters’ actor won a close matchup over Charles Barkley and Ken Griffey Jr. on the fourth playoff hole to advance to the semifinals.
The comedic timing of Murray is still on point at age 74, as his inner ‘Saturday Night Live’ sketch comedy.
Gretzky may have one-upped the ‘Caddyshack’ star with his first line after the loud bang of the crash can be heard, which occurred off camera.
‘Down goes Frazier,’ the hockey legend said in reference to Howard Cosell’s commentary during George Foreman and Joe Frazier’s 1973 heavyweight title fight entitled ‘The Sunshine Showdown’.
‘The guy that just heard my confession just slammed into the fence over there,’ Murray added, cracking up Ernie Johnson, who called the action.

Johnson then asks the cameraman to pan to the left so viewers can see the damage caused by the crash.
Murray himself guides the camera over to the wall where the crash took place.
As the camera focuses off-course, a few people are picking up gate tiling that appeared to have become dislodged from the impact of the crash.
‘Run for it! Run for it,’ Murray said to the people picking up the damage from the crash.
‘I can’t figure out how they hit the fence. It’s 40 feet from here,’ Gretzky added.
The competition now turns individual as Gretzky will now face Murray in a semifinal matchup, with the winner heading to the $1million final.
