Bill Murray's Dumpster Dive [Video] Leaves Actor With Head Injury, Misses Film Screening

NEW YORK (CBS) Bill Murray got a bump on his head in the name of comedy during a "dumpster dive" on the "Late Show," but was it painful enough to skip out on his film screening?

The famed "Get Low" comedian was a no-show for a Cinema Society screening of his new movie Wednesday, reportedly because of head injuries sustained from an outdoor "dumpster dive" goof on "Late Show with David Letterman."

In a July 21 taping, a fully-clothed Bill Murray jumped twice from a platform fixed to a truck-sized street dumpster filled with water outside the Ed Sullivan Theater.

"I just know it's going to be cold, Dave!" Murray screams to Letterman, moments before the goof.

Murray shouted "Lou Pinella" before diving head first in a pool of garbage, hat, shoes and all. The comedian even splashed some of the junky water towards the crowd and traffic-jammed cars.

Afterward, Letterman laughingly says to Murray, "Come on in, Bill. We'll get you a Hepatitis shot."

No reports have surfaced of the funnyman needing hospitalization after the staged stunt. But the New York Daily News reported that there is speculation that Murray nicked his head on a ladder that was mounted on the side of the Dumpster.
