SHARE WATCH: A first look at Bill Murray’s ‘A Very Murray Christmas’ special

Bill Murray is starring in his very first television holiday special, titled “A Very Murray Christmas,” directed by Sofia Coppola and available on Netflix Dec. 4.

Here’s a look at the official trailer:

The special, co-written by Coppola, Murray and Mitch Glazer, features A-list guest stars George Clooney, Miley Cyrus, Amy Poehler, Chris Rock, Jason Schwartzman, Rashida Jones, Paul Shaffer, Maya Rudolph, Michael Cera and the band Phoenix.

It’s billed as “an homage to the classic variety show featuring Murray playing himself, as he worries no one will show up to his TV show due to a terrible snow storm in New York City. Through luck and perseverance, guests arrive at the Carlyle hotel to help him; dancing and singing in holiday spirit.”
