Jason Byrne plays a prank on writer, actor and comedian Bill Murray.
Up and coming comedian Jason Byrne, as a member of the audience on the Late Late Show, takes the opportunity to ask actor, writer and comedian Bill Murray if he has ever seen a ghost.
Prankster Jason Byrne acquired a ticket for The Late Late Show, borrowed his father's tie, got into character and waited for his moment in the spotlight.
The question is, Bill, have you ever seen a ghost and if so, were you ever frightened?
Bill responds by saying he had seen a ghost earlier that evening at Roly's Bistro in Ballsbridge when his waiter disappeared and reappeared sometime later as a woman.
