Remembering comedy legend John Belushi, who passed away 44 years ago today. Best known for his work on Saturday Night Live and The Blues Brothers, Belushi starred alongside co-star, friend, and collaborator Dan Aykroyd, with Aykroyd initially envisioning Belushi as part of the early concept for Ghostbusters. Following his passing, the character of Slimer would take influence from Belushi, including mannerisms and, according to Aykroyd, Belushi’s “lust for life” and “appetites for things.” #johnbelushi #thebluesbrothers #saturdaynightlive #comedy #ghostbusters
