“Bill Murray, literally tonight, he pops into my backstage dressing room,” Margaret recalled. “He’s wearing a Piggly Wiggly shirt. And I grew up in North Carolina, and Piggly Wiggly’s a Southern thing.”
She continued, “I was like, ‘Oh, yeah, Piggly Wiggly!’ Then, cut to I found out he’s living in Charleston. My mom’s living in Charleston.”
This prompted Bill, 74, to share that Andie didn’t have the best experiencing when filming Groundhog Day.
“I’m gonna give you the tea,” Margaret quipped. “He was like, ‘You know, your mom and I — we didn’t get along so good while we were making that movie.’ And he was like, ‘She took a lot of time to get her hair done, and she didn’t know her lines this one time.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, well, I heard a different story, sir.’”
“I’m putting two and two together. He’s living in Charleston. She’s living in Charleston,” the Golden Globe nominee said. “They’ve got this kind of rage towards each other, but maybe he’s trying to make amends. And I’m like, she’s single, he’s single. They’re both crazy. Let’s get it together!”
Margaret said that after her interview, she wanted to meet Bill again so that she can get him in touch with Andie.
“I said to come circle back and get my number if he wants to connect with my mom,” Margaret shared. “And, you know, if he’s got any sense at all, he’d be the luckiest guy in the world!”
“Of course he would be!” Jimmy jumped in.
Margaret then added, “I hope he’s listening right now. Hi, Bill!”
