Here’s a story for you. We started filming without owning the title and had to do alternates.
Taft Broadcasting owned the title Ghostbusters as part of their half-hour sitcom starring Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker (F-Troop) and a gorilla chasing ghosts. I had never heard of it. They didn’t have proton packs or Bill Murray. Columbia paid $500,000 to buy the name, but they really should have paid Dean Martin, from whom I first heard the term.
In the film Scared Stiff (1953), he and Jerry Lewis (check out his acrobatic stair descent) are in an old haunted castle, and Lizabeth Scott asks Dean: “Who are you guys?” And Dean answers: “You’ve heard of Trustbusters and Gangbusters, we’re Ghostbusters!”
For my research writing the first movie, I watched every single ‘ghost’ comedy ever made. Bowery Boys, Hope and Crosby, Abbot and Costello, Martin and Lewis all did such films.
Happy Halloween 2026.
BREAKING: Trump’s rally in Daytona Beach, Florida, got completely derailed. It was repeatedly disrupted by multiple protesters, one after another, and the clown couldn’t even get a word in.
This is easily THE most DEVASTATING clapback I have ever heard, by any candidate, from either party. trump said he wants metal detectors for El-Sayed.
El-Sayed says sure, but lie detectors for YOU.
First question: EPSTEIN.
He is SO good at this.🔥
Obama 🔥: "The president wasn't even mad about the Saddam Hussein comparison! That part didn't bother him. But he was very upset about the Cheesecake Factory comments. He took great umbrage. The mobilized a whole of government response to that joke! They told the Treasury Secretary to hold a press conference in front of the Cheesecake Factory. This really happened."
Christina Aguilera said her best skill in bed is BLOWJOBS - and called herself a “PROMOTER OF THE SWALLOW.” 💀
Alex Cooper asked what she’s best at in the bedroom.
“It’s got to be blowjobs.”
Then she went further.
“I’m a promoter of the swallow, OK. I didn’t put in that hard work for nothing.”
And then came the places.
The studio soundboard.
Planes.
Under blankets.
Alex thought she meant a PRIVATE plane.
“No, I’m not actually.”
She was talking about international flights.
Lights out.
Blankets.
Waiting for everyone to fall asleep.
Alex’s reaction?
“Oh my God, that’s iconic.” 😭
