☆ John Belushi Was Just Getting Started
  + stars: | 2024-01-13 | by ( Rich Cohen | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
When a great talent dies young, the world is diminished. You find yourself thinking not only of what that person created but of what that person could have created if he’d had time. For me, there is no purer case of the-acorn-that-would-have-become-the-oak-had-it-not-been-pancaked-by-the truck than John Belushi, who, had he not died at age 33 in 1982, would turn 75 this month. In a world full of followers, Belushi seemed like the last free man. He lived the showbiz maxim: to do anything original, you must be willing to make a fool of yourself.

☆ Henry Kissinger, as Seen, and Skewered, by Comics
  + stars: | 2023-11-30 | by ( Maya Salam | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
In a November 1976 episode of “Saturday Night Live,” Gilda Radner, in her recurring impression of Barbara Walters — a.k.a. Baba Wawa — interviews Henry Kissinger, played by John Belushi. After inquiring about his “silly, silly” accent, which she says “really, really irritates” her, Radner asks Belushi to repeat after her: “I am a really, really fat, roly poly diplomat.” He does. In a 1987 episode of “S.N.L.,” his religion comes up again in a sketch called “The Assimilated Jew’s Hanukkah.” In it, Al Franken imitates Kissinger, who is selling an album of Jewish Christmas songs. I told him that if it hadn’t been for the Xmas bombing, he’d have the tickets.”
