About this listen

'Groundhog Day' is a classic of American film and has become ubiquitous with experiencing the same day over and over again since it hit theaters in 1993. It's one of Ryan's all-time favorite movies and he details behind-the-scenes friction between director Harold Ramis and the film's star Bill Murray which ended up costing them their friendship until the death of Ramis in 2014. In spite of this, it is registered in the National Film Registry 'for its cultural, historical and aesthetic contributions' and preserved in the Library of Congress.

Of note as well, Punxsatawney Phil did see his shadow on Monday - indicating six more weeks of winter.

Ignoring an admonition and warning from Ricky Gervais in his classic opening monologue hosting the 2020 Golden Globe Awards, celebrities couldn't help themselves from opining on ICE at the Grammys on Sunday night. Ryan highlights how out of touch they continue to be with the American public, and they may be out of time in getting the average viewer to watch such award shows.
