Bill Murray and David Ross put on Cubs skit at ESPYS (Video)
Bill Murray and David Ross got together after Nick Offerman’s presentation of the Best Moment award at ESPYS for an awkward skit.
Bill Murray was right at the front of the Chicago Cubs’ World Series run last October, so it was only fitting for him to accept the award for the Best Moment at the ESPYS from Cubs fan Nick Offerman on Wednesday night.
The moment began with a cool, little montage documenting the Cubs’ run through the postseason on their way to their first World Series title in 108 years.
Murray, in a party hat on top of a baseball cap to go with his suit for the night, gave a long speech as he accepted the award from Offerman, and the two Cubs fans and comedians shared the moment together.
However, the moment got pretty cringeworthy when old man and former Cubs catcher David Ross randomly wandered onto the stage in a janitor’s uniform during Murray’s long-winded acceptance speech.
Ross lost the uniform eventually after Murray finally acknowledged the drifter, and the trio all celebrated the award together in a funny, but still incredibly awkward moment. Ross showed off some of the weird dance moves he learned in his Dancing With The Stars run, and the three eventually popped off a couple of bottles to end the moment.
byObviously the Cubs win was well-deserving of the Best Moment award, but I don’t think anyone in the audience deserved to have to sit through the awkward seven-minute Cubs presentation that came alongside it.

The best move would’ve just been to cut the whole thing by, let’s say, six and a half minutes, and just let Peyton Manning and Kevin Durant go back to their funny interactions that started the show.
