I'd say fake, but none of this seems as bad as the fake Steve Guttenberg "punching out a photographer" pics that 1) started showing up in NYC improv circles 2) only showed up in NYC imrov circles and 3) was reported only on NYC improv blogs and 4) precluded him doing some "guest" appearances at the UCB theater a few months later.
This isn't such a big temper tantrum, although flipping the table is a nice touch. Aw, who can stay mad at him? He's adorable. I just want to hug him and kiss him and take him home. Can I? Can I huh?
Well he is working on 3 TV shows at once. Aaron Sorkin couldn't handle one show at a time without regularly burying his nose in his coffeetable.
Sounds like someone walked off the lot with either a set piece, or his personal property. But I agree that the "ARE YOU SERIOUS" camera shake at the end puts the whole thing over the top. If he really was raging over something that serious, this video never would have made it off the lot.
Has anyone read "Tom Shales' Live From New York? The guy decked Chevy Chase backstage. Again, perhaps something that should be applauded, but at the same time, this news should not be too surprising.
@Midwesterner in NYC: Yeah, the surprise over the fact that Murray got physical is baffling to me. This is completely within character. And count me in with those who still love him anyway.
Who else could have done Groundhog Day or Lost in Translation at the time? The man may be a reluctant artist, but he is an artist.
From Wikipedia (and I think I read this in the LA Times):
Regarding his name, McG has stated that:
It's fun to hate a guy called McG. In my humble opinion it's sheer fucking lunacy because it's just short for McGinty - fucking get past it. My name is Joseph McGinty Nichol. My mother's maiden name is McGinty. My uncle is Joe, my grandfather was Joe. I was called McG since the day I was born because we were broke and there were three Joes in the house. There's no Hollywood, 'I think I'll give myself a nickname' bullshit. It just is. And at some point I would be a sell-out punk if I rolled over and said, 'Well, call me Joe.' [...] I can only sigh and move forward.

Don't let them amass though. Even the E.L. Fudge guys are scary with proper numbers.
