On The Tonight Show, Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson, the stars of 'Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,' performed the famous theme song from the 1984 film ‘Ghostbusters,’ along with Jimmy Fallon and The Roots, in anticipation of the newest entry in the cherished franchise.

Murray and Hudson surprised everyone by showing up during Fallon's monologue on Friday night's episode of The Tonight Show. They talked about ‘Frozen Empire’, which is a follow-up to the 2021 film ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ and the fourth entry in the Ghostbusters film series.

While speaking, Murray and Hudson reminisced about their early days in New York City filming ‘Ghostbusters’ and recalled the scepticism they encountered from bystanders when they were filming the music video with Parker Jr.

Along with Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon, Mckenna Grace, Finn Wolfhard, Kumail Nanjiani, Patton Oswalt, Celeste O'Connor, James Acaster, and Logan Kim, the latest Ghostbusters movie follows both new and returning Ghostbusters as they battle a new threat that arises from an ancient artefact that puts New York City in danger.

On 22nd March, ‘Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’ will open in theatres.
