Q: Bill Murray has long made a habit of making memorable appearances in places you wouldn’t expect. On Friday, he picked the White House. 
  
 The legendary comedic actor briefly spoke with President Obama, who congratulated him for winning this year’s Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, a White House official said. Asked by reporters in the Oval Office if he met with Murray, Obama said “absolutely,” but didn’t reveal what else they discussed.

 Watch out @PressSec I think Bill Murray will make a great press secretary... pic.twitter.com/kerXtPvjnM — shannon A (@shogustus) October 21, 2016 ||||| Decked out in a Cubs pullover, Bill Murray set a Cubs hat on the lectern in the White House press briefing room Friday morning before bragging about his beloved Chicago Cubs and throwing some shade at Los Angeles. 
  
 “Hey Mr. President, do you think the Cubs will win?” Murray was asked. The Cubs are one win away from heading to the World Series and will be playing the Los Angeles Dodgers Saturday. 
  
 “I feel very confident that Clayton Kershaw is a great, great pitcher but we got too many sticks, we got too many sticks,” Murray deadpanned as some people in the room chuckled. “At home with our crowd, the weather ... You get a little bit of autumn in Chicago, you don’t get that in Los Angeles. Trees just die in Los Angeles; in Illinois they flourish.” 
  
 Murray, born and raised in the Chicago area, is in Washington this weekend to collect the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the Kennedy Center on Sunday. He was on a tour of the White House on Friday afternoon when he made his cameo in the press room.

Bill Murray stepped in for White House press secretary Josh Earnest on Friday, holding his own short briefing in the White House press room, the Chicago Tribune reports. Murray, as one would expect, used his time to discuss the Chicago Cubs with the handful of assembled reporters, one of whom addressed him as "Mr. President." NBC News has a full video of the Murray press briefing, in which the actor says he's confident the Cubs will make their first World Series since 1945 because "they have too many sticks" and because "you get a little autumn in Chicago; you don't get that in Los Angeles; trees just die in Los Angeles." Murray is in Washington DC to accept the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the Kennedy Center on Sunday. He's currently disappointed he'll likely have to miss the finale of the Cubs' NLCS match-up with the Los Angeles Dodgers in order to be honored, the Hill reports. During his Friday tour of the White House, Murray spoke briefly with President Obama, a noted supporter of Chicago's other team. "He was wearing a Cubs jacket, which for a White Sox fan is a little troubling,” Obama says. Fortunately for the future of Murray-Obama relations, the president is already on record as saying he'll support the Cubs in the World Series.
