Actor and comedian Bill Murray apparently had had enough of the grinning mug of Kevin Hassett, Trump’s top economic adviser, in a weird impromptu exchange on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” program.

Murray unexpectedly inserted himself into a CNBC interview Monday between “Squawk Box” hosts Joe Kernan and Becky Quick and Hassett, who serves as National Economic Council director, in a segment about the state of the economy. In the middle of the interview, Murray appeared between the show’s hosts and asked Hassett (who appeared on camera remotely) to say the words, “My dog just died.”
