SNL Newsbreak with Brian Doyle-Murray and Christine Ebersole

Christine Ebersole is introduced as a news anchor, as Mary Gross is on assignment. As the segment opens, hands are seen reaching into frame, in a frantic attempt to clip a microphone to Ebersole's necklace; her blouse had no lapels or seams on which to attach it. The camera cuts to Brian Doyle-Murray. As he begins speaking, it is obvious that he is not wearing a microphone; an echo of his voice being picked up by another microphone, possibly Ebersole's. He welcomes her, and as the camera switches, she is attempting to clip the microphone on by herself, finally settling for holding it and talking into it, drawing laughter from the audience. A beep is heard, and as the camera moves back to Murray and he continues, the sound of a tape rewinding broadcasts across the audio, followed by another beep. The sound of a microphone bumping objects is then heard, and as Murray finishes the story, a hand reaches into frame and taps him on the arm. A microphone is handed to him, and he repeats the last few words into it, then clips it to his tie. Ebersole is heard laughing, and the audience joins, cheering as he gets the microphone on. He then appears lost, saying "so..." and flipping through the papers in front of him, seemingly unable to find his next line. After 15-20 seconds of stammering, he finds it and introduces Mary Gross, who beings her report by telling Murray that he loved the first piece. The broadcast continues normally, Yvonne DeMouchier (Robin Duke) gives fashion tips to Best Actress nominees, Joe Piscopo gives Georgetown the NCAA championship on merit of coeds’ looks, and Doyle-Murray announces that he had become an uncle, thanks to the birth of Bill Murray's son Homer Banks Murray.
