Who ya gonna call? Ghost blasters!
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.

I thought the caption was just a joke to play on this little boy being so good. No, they actually DID call the police and the family was asked to leave.
Why would the police enable such stupidity?

🚨 BREAKING: A Black couple showed up to tour an apartment in Queens... and the broker accidentally texted THEM instead of the owner: "Ugh. They are Black."
They'd just moved from Delaware for her new job. Now they're SUING Douglas Elliman, the agent AND the owners.
"It doesn't change the pain. It doesn't take away the pain you caused us that day."
Think about it. They were judged before they even had a chance.
They only found out because she texted the wrong person. Most people never do.
Hey @AntDavis23, Trump is president so if you want a sold out crowd you gotta change the team name to the Washington Grand Wizards.

This is what makes her claim in the movie of being tired of everyone speaking for her so funny. We have endless videos and evidence of her lying in service of her scam and self-mythology.

Another gem Fielder interview is the promo he did with cast of The Night Before: Anthony Mackie, Joseph Gordon-Levitt & Seth Rogen.
Rogen and Fielder were high school classmates in Vancouver and placed 3rd in a national improv competition as a team. This promo best collab since.

Pack it in everyone who was going to try to do their own version of this. I doubt this one will be equaled.

The top video on Nathan Fielder’s YouTube channel is “Thin Watermelon”: it was posted 16 years ago, has 5m+ views and is glorious.
