The latest teaser for the holiday venture showcases mischief at New York City's own Carlyle hotel where a blizzard soils the actor's plans of an international holiday broadcast. Knowing that the show must go on, Murray is joined by friends and colleagues like Cyrus, Clooney and Chris Rock for a slew of songs and dances.

"Tonight will go down as the greatest night in history," Murray explains as the clip opens and reveals a montage of star power. One shot previews Clooney holding a martini while another shows Cyrus and Murray joining forces for a performance with Maya Rudolph commanding the microphone. The clip is set to a soundtrack of a Bill Murray version of " Let It Snow." It comes to a close as the actor shouts, "Look out, ol' Santa is back!"

"Bill is friends with George, so that's how he came on. Then, we wanted a pop starlet. I had met Miley through Marc Jacobs and she seemed really game and nice, so I asked through a friend," Coppola explained to of getting the cast together. A Very Murray Christmaswas co-written by Murray, Coppola and Mitch Glazer. It was produced by Coppola, Roman Coppola, Glazer and Tony Hernandez, Rolling Stone notes. The cast also boasts Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, Jenny Lewis, Phoenix, Michael Cera, Paul Shaffer, Jason Schwartzmann, Dimitri Dimitrov, Julie White, David Johansen and Frederic Moulin.

Netflix unveiled news of the holiday special back in May, referring to it as a "homage to the classic variety show." The first teaser offered a jazz piano soundtrack while a melancholy Murray stares out at the New York City skyline from his Carlyle Hotel window.

Murray is also slated to appear in the latest (female-led) Ghostbusters reboot, boasting a cast of Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones.

Don't expect a Kanye West and George Clooney face-off in 2020 - unlike the rapper, the Oscar winner has no political aspirations.

Clooney told the crowd during a press conference for Our Brand Is Crisis in Los Angeles on Friday, that despite ongoing questions and rumors, he will never run for office.

"I've been asked that for almost 20 years now and the answer is just no," Clooney said. "Who would ever want to live like that? I'm friends with a lot of those guys and I just think it's hell."

The actor, who produced the political dramedy Our Brand (in which he was originally pegged to star), said while he respects those in leadership positions, he doesn't think he could handle the pressure and scrutiny.

"I commend people who go into public service because it's such a horrible way to get elected, it's such a horrible time while you're in office," he said. "It's more polarized now probably, arguably, since the Civil War in many ways and I think people will argue over things they believed in six or eight years ago because it's not their guy saying it."

Of course, Clooney's wife Amal, works as an accomplished human rights lawyer.

The Brit is currently defending former Maldivian President Mohamed Nasheed, whom she says she feels has been wrongly imprisoned by a government that has a dangerous disregard for human rights and the democratic process.
