Washington: Veteran actor Bill Murray crashed a White House press briefing to talk about his favourite baseball team Chicago Cubs' chances against the LA Dodgers this weekend.

Murray, who has in past crashed a bachelor party, a NYC Kickball game and a couple's engagement photoshoot, is in Washington, DC, to receive the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the Kennedy Center on Sunday.

The press team was game for Murray's antics, referring to the actor as "Mr President" and asking him about the Cubs' chances of advancing to the World Series. However, the actor may miss the game as it claches with the ceremony.
