In the second part of Murphy Brown's series finale (originally telecast as the conclusion of a single 60-minute episode), Murphy undergoes surgery for a possible malignancy. While under the ether, Murphy conducts an interview with God (played by Alan King), which quickly (and typically) degenerates into a shouting match. Ultimately, however, God advises Murphy to give up her retirement plans and return to work--and once it turns out that she's cancer-free, Murphy follows His advice. The now-classic closing scene finds Murphy reunited with her favorite house-painter Eldin Bernecky (welcome back, Robert Pastorelli), who has come to her townhouse on a mysterious mission. Series producer Diane English pops up uncredited as a doctor...and say, isn't that George Clooney?
