Bill Murray in Fiat Chrystler's Super Bowl ad
In the commercial, Bill is taken back by the deja vu, until he takes the Gladiator as his getaway vehicle instead of a classic Chevrolet C-10 pickup just like the film. The Chief Marketing Officer of Fiat Chrysler, Olivier Francois revealed to the media that he first tried contacting Murray in October. They soon realised the importance of the Super Bowl 2020 and Groundhog day being on on the same day for the first time in 54 years. Thus, Francois said it was very critical for them to bring him on the commercial. Here is the ad and some reactions to the ad by Fiat Chrysler that features Bill Murray.
