Hearing Chevy say that he made a big mistake leaving SNL is kinda sweet. He's known for having a high opinion of himself, so hearing him admit that he was wrong is like peak character development for Chevy. Right on. Also, 100% the sweetest that every person up there mentioned John and Gilda. There's a lot of love up on that stage.
@@markuss4133 See all of his SNL friends at once? Yeah probably only at an awards show. Like how a high school reunion is the only time you're ever gonna see your old group in the same place unless none of you ever left town. Everyone's got shit to do.
Met Bill at the DGA-W 57th - an internship I was then doing for Nancy Littlefield. -unbelievable kindness towards me. Bought me up to his office, intro'd me around - etc. Me I was so intimidated I could barely speak - it wasn't planned - just kind of organically happened. .
Garrett Morris is comedy genius in this, he had me in stitches! He's still got it at 80 years old! He was always great in the original series like he is here, great edgy comedy.
What had me smirking is that you could tell that he didn't tell the others he was going to do that skit.....look at Akroyds face right behind him....he was really wondering where he was going with that....until he got to the punch line.
I remember when Chevy left after Caddy shack because he thought he was going to be this big time movie star. Then he made a few flops. Then finally the Vacation movies. But now he is by far the biggest flop of the cast. Because he still thought of himself as Chevy Chase. When now he's just chevy chase.
The racial humor with Garrett in the original cast was classic. He was willing to do some really edgy stuff that could never be done today. The prison auditions and the interview with Julian Bond come to mind.
Though not a cast member, I can’t help but thinking of Steve Martin during that era of SNL. Before Borat there were the Czechoslovakian Studs: we are two wild and crazy guys.
Martin was a uniquely gifted talent. A hero of comedy back when I was in high school... it's hard to believe he's pushing 80 now. There were other 'funny guys', and all of them good. But Martin was different. He was the first comic that I can remember filling Huge auditoriums, like a rock star. He wasn't mocking politicians, or saying "My wife's cooking is so bad... " he was Fresh.. Original.. and damn funny, without being graphic. (Not that there's anything wrong with that, but some use it as a crutch.) If there's a Mt. Rushmore of comedy.. he ought to be on it.
Aykroyd was and ALWAYS be the king of SNL. He cherishes the time he spent on that show and truly understands what that show and that comedy has meant to the world. There are plenty of people out there who became huge who kinda shrug off where they got their start, like Eddie Murphy for example.
As far as I'm concerned Murray deserves to be on that stage just as much as Chevy. He was there for ONE season and left. Bill Murray came in and more than filled that void, in my opinion.
@@rudyfat7073 so the world should agree with your opinion ? You are wrong and lubbylove is right. Murray deserved to be in the snl hall of fame instead of Chevy.
This award is for the original crew of SNL. Bill Murray was not on the original crew. Of course Murray deserves to be in the hall of fame duh but you guys keep missing what the award is towards. We might as well throw in Eddie Murphy who had a bigger impact than Murray on SNL.
Absolutely graciously proud of his cohearts. Bill Murray supporting them should always in turn be supported for making SNL an iconic part of history, not just comedy, but contiues to Pioneer in television and film today.
I've always considered Bill Murray a part of the original cast, even though he wasn't. I'm glad they let him stand at the mic as well. He certainly made his mark in SNL history. I love the heck out of Bill Murray's twitter zingers! The man is non-stop wit! I consider him a guru of sorts.
He also had an illustrious movie career. He did “meatballs “ and a whole bunch of other hilarious movies. He also was good in serious sort of roles. “ Groundhog Day” is a classic movie.
He auditioned with that cast and worked with almost all of them before the show started. He missed the first year and then was around for the next four with all but Chevy. I consider him an original cast member, too. I think most everybody does.
I honestly didn't know how many were still alive. What a delight to see them all still with us and what a well deserved induction. Many of us were a part of their time frame and kept us laughing on Saturday Night Live then the movies and TV appearances and comedy shows. Each of their Hall of Fame speeches still contain the humor and Class they are known for! I'm sure the Organizers had their criteria but you can feel the pain in the honest speech of Bill Murray. Thank you All and the late John Belluci and Gilda Radner for bringing laughter to our teen and young adult lives 🤣😁😊👍🏼
Bill Murray is such an amazing person, I have always said he is one of the 5 people I would want to meet before I die. He seems so fun and down to earth and humble and genuine. I just love and adore him. ❤
They were the originals - the foundation from which SNL was built and the recognition is long overdue. This talented group created the blueprint that many others would follow for decades to come. They were fearless, groundbreaking and so damn funny. We as viewers salute and thank you for all your work. Generations of future comedians will owe you that debt of gratitude for opening the doors and showing that comedy could be edgy and cool.......
Yet they werent quite as brilliant as Monty Python, especially Cleese,Palin and Idle. that is the gold standard. they paid a huge complement to Ackyroyd and said he would be the one SNLer that would fit in with Python.
@@RobertMartin-et9nj John Belushi wasn't a kind person during most of his tenure on SNL. Sure he may have started out that way, but he turned into a horrible sexist half way through season 1 who believed women weren't naturally funny like men where and as a result spent his time sabatoging sketches written by the women.
@@IanPunter- Comparing Python and SNL is like comparing apples and oranges. One is British, one is American. One was pre taped, one is done live. One had an all white male cast. The other one did not. Aside from the fact that they are both sketch comedy based, that's pretty much where any similarity ends.
No one will ever top the 'Not Ready For Prime-Time Players'. What a talented group of performers. Gilda was my favorite... what an amazing and talented woman she was... RIP Gilda and John, you are sadly missed. "That's the NEWS. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow..." Chevy Chase - SNL 1975-1976.
Did ANYONE go out on Saturday nights before that weeks show was finished? I looked forward to the next show from Sunday to Saturday every single week. You always knew whatever they did was going to be spot on and hilarious! Part of their gift was in how even the audience felt like they were along for the ride right along with them. Good, good times.
Bill Murray, singing as a lounge singer and he makes Star Wars a song. I thought that was funny as hell. And I still do. Doing it in Lounge singer Style.
SNL has brought so much joy to my life and continues to bring joy to my life. I'm greatful to you all. I was six yrs old in 1975 and watched it with my big brother Mike. I continue to watch to this day. Thank you so much.
Garrett Morris's first name has two t's in it and you need to put an "n" in the word "damn". Delete your comment and re-post it so "Garrett" and "damn" are spelled correctly! ~Dutch
@@kipclark1 You meant to say "Please realize that grammar and spelling mean nothing in the modern information highway." In the word "realize" there is a "z" and not an "s". You didn't spell grammar correctly either. It's spelled "G-R-A-M-M-A-R" not "G-R-A-M-M-E-R". You need to put a second "l" in the word "spelling" and where the hell did you come up with "doodly"? That's not even a word! Replace it with "nothing" because it sounds more mature. Then finally, "highway" is spelled "H-I-G-H-W-A-Y" and not "H-I-W-A-Y". Fix your comment! The way I see it, grammar is extremely important regardless of where you are typing! ~Dutch
1975 I was 18 ...stayed up late on Saturday night for years ...as years went and kids came along I missed many shows...now with youtube I get to watch recent shows and just as then the comics are the best! :)
When the show came on, my husband and I, and my brother in laws would come over, smoke weed and laugh our butts out..so much fun. I loved the original cast including Bill Murray.
He was part of the original auditions, but was passed on because they didn't want three "bad" boys with Aykroyd Belushi and Murray. They got them a year later!
@@Ram44 Murray actually joined the cast in 1977....after the Christmas break of season 2... But Murray WAS the first of all them to star on "Saturday Night Live"....bit tricky that one...
Thanks for the memories. Saturday Night Live was an integral part of my newlywed year and as things were bustling going forward. I remember showing my daughter a cartoon caricature of Chevy Chase which appeared in a National Lampoon magazine in that era and she, being perhaps fourteen months old, opened her mouth wide to mimic the image. My wife saw it too and we just stood there in amazement.
Love Aykroyd and Murray, they seem like real genuine nice people, love their work on SNL and through their movies. Ghost Busters, Trading Places, the Great Outdoors, etc
So crazy seeing how old they’ve all gotten. Time flies. And growing up watch those guys and how hilarious they were and still are. Hope they ha e a lot of years ahead of them
This show was a highlight of my youth. It came on at 10:30 PM then came on again at 11:30 P.M. on another channel, so I'd change channels and watch it again, for 2.5 hours. To me it was exciting. Best TV ever. Thankful I got to witness it while it happened.
1975....I was in 4th or 5th grade and NOT allowed to stay up or watch SNL. I remember one night, I heard from my room that SNL was on. I snuck down quietly downstairs, ,sat down without anyone seeing me, and caught a snippet of the show. I thought I was so cool to have seen that. I have enjoyed SNL through the years. Some more, some not. I am impressed with the current cast. Everyone has a special talent, and I am glad the show is still airing.
Oct 11, 1975. I had turned 16 the week before and SNL became the touchstone for my young generation. I could write pages about what these cast members and the show meant to us over the years, but I will simply say Bravo! Or as General Francisco Franco might say, "Bravissimo!" (from beyond).
These men & women of the original cast (+Murray!) have some way inspired every comedian alive today, and those comedians will influence future comedians, and so on. That means, what they did on SNL and their shows/films will be embedded forever in comedy itself. They ARE comedy :)
Laraine Newman looks so much more lovely now than she did back then. Great upload! I used to play out in a band and missed an awful lot of the Saturday Night shows. Well, it's been 40+ years...Gotta see if there's somewhere that has all those old programs!
They knew they had it from the jump. Knew it was the right show at the right time. Show just oozed with Swag and Confidence. Drawing all the then college kids from across the East Coast. Who'd never before even CONSIDERED a job writing comedy. SNL an Arnold and a Sly in its' own right. A philosophy. A religion. Comedy is a Religion.
I remember watching them when I had a Broken leg stayed up all night till the network went off the air for the night . Back then there were only like 3-4 networks.God they were great ! Thanks for the good times .
Couldn't agree more! Absolutely love and loved Dana! He, in my opinion, was so much more talented that Mike and I still don't know how Mike blew up and Dana didn't.
Historic moment. Who here didn't love watching Saturday Night Live when this cast was on? Who doesn't still quote lines from sketches that they appeared in?
It’s true that John and Gilda brought the danger to the show with what they were willing to do. It’s a shame what they suffered with. I wish they were both here today. So glad this cast was given this honor. They had to take their humble experience of improv and the influence of Monty Python and Laugh-In, and create a whole new experience…on live TV!!
Aww look at that! Bill doesn't stand up for himself when asked to, but stands up for the others at the end. Then his speech, all about them not him. Such humility! Watch and learn, Chevy!
I love the original cast of SNL. Including Bill Murray. Just seeing them all on stage brings back so many memories. I miss Gilda Radner and John Belushi. I was only twelve when SNL first aired and now I am in my fifties! Hard to believe the cast range in age from their 60's to 80's!
Honoring SNL without Bill Murray is like honoring Knots Landing or Dynasty without Donna Mills or Joan Collins only because they weren't part of the original cast. They made those shows.
@@analogkid4957 "Bill took SNL to another level." Nope. Not in any way. He wasn't the guy who made Stripes yet, let alone Ghostbusters, he got funnier over the years.
Sad to lose gilda and john. Show changes every year, thanks to celebrities who are committed to keep it going. I hope it never goes off the air. I could name a few I'd like to see come back, but just honored and blessed I had this show during my generation
I wish Garrett Morris had been on more stuff over the years... ya would see him pop up here n there... but not nearly enough... he is one funny mama jama
That was because he was like that's era's Keanen in the since that doing SNL wasn't a launching pad or first major break for him, but another significant notch on his already lustrious acting belt, not to mention, like he said, he was at least 15 years older than the rest of the original cast.
That was the perfect time to grow up. I couldn't ask for a better time in history. We had SNL , and Rock Concerts . There's no other time in history or since like the 60's 70's and 80's. And there's never been a better cast than the original with Bill Murray. I didn't think I would ever get to 18 years old, then the last 40 years is a blur that I feel like I was in suspended animation. Whoosh. Seems like yesterday the show would come on and Chevy Chase would be behind the news desk talking dirty with a girl on the phone unaware the news had went live and he's famous words I'm Chevy Chase and you're not.
Hearing Chevy say that he made a big mistake leaving SNL is kinda sweet. He's known for having a high opinion of himself, so hearing him admit that he was wrong is like peak character development for Chevy. Right on. Also, 100% the sweetest that every person up there mentioned John and Gilda. There's a lot of love up on that stage.
Well said "I didn't come here for the award, I came here to see my friends." Great to hear from Bill Murray
Oh and you know Chevy will DEFINITELY take the award though...
@@markuss4133 See all of his SNL friends at once? Yeah probably only at an awards show. Like how a high school reunion is the only time you're ever gonna see your old group in the same place unless none of you ever left town. Everyone's got shit to do.
When Bill Murray said he wasn't there to win an award, but to see his friends... OMG! 🥺😭🤧💝
He's a decent fellow. Also loved that he was ok with being the new guy until abt 5 minutes ago 😆😂
Meanwhile, Chevy Chase is clutching the fuck out of that award like it's gonna jump out of his hands
Some idiot sl()+ said that I looked like the sexy chick from nightmare on elm Street. (Their words- not mine)
One bi+chest nightmare can be another's dream- come -true or "dreamboat".

Leave to Bill Murray to turn an awkward situation into something funny and gracious. He´s the man.
Met Bill at the DGA-W 57th - an internship I was then doing for Nancy Littlefield.
-unbelievable kindness towards me.
Bought me up to his office, intro'd me around - etc.
Me I was so intimidated I could barely speak - it wasn't planned -
just kind of organically happened.
.
John Belushi, Gilda Radner should have been shown in the screen behind them.
Yep
Seconded
They should’ve had guys in John Belushi and Gilda Radner suits
Rest in peace to both of them
💯
They were the best! Loved John and Gilda!

Yes, yes, but please, it's"base a ball"/
Sorry but he was the weakest link back then. He was the only cast member who wasn't a comedian.
ilker sönmez but he still was hilarious. Garrett took what was written for him and made it extremely funny.

Best stage presence ever. He gave SNL that hard edge, emotion to the stage.
Idk, maybe I need to rewatch him, but I say he was way over-rated.
Though not a cast member, I can’t help but thinking of Steve Martin during that era of SNL. Before Borat there were the Czechoslovakian Studs: we are two wild and crazy guys.
wow i never knew steve martin wasnt a SNL cast member til now! interesting
Yup he was pretty much a recurring role but never officially a castmate
As I read that I had to shimmy my shoulders. Even as a kid re-enacting the wild and crazy guys we had to do the weird shimmy and walk.
Martin was a uniquely gifted talent. A hero of comedy back when I was in high school... it's hard to believe he's pushing 80 now. There were other 'funny guys', and all of them good. But Martin was different. He was the first comic that I can remember filling Huge auditoriums, like a rock star. He wasn't mocking politicians, or saying "My wife's cooking is so bad...

If there's a Mt. Rushmore of comedy.. he ought to be on it.
Before Borrat there was Lodka Groveitz Andy Kauffman was insulted and is rolling in his grave after this award cerimony.
This brings tears to my eyes. Where has my life gone?
I knew Danny was going to be the one to ask Bill to stand up - the guy has always been a class act.
Always struck me as a nice guy.
Aykroyd was and ALWAYS be the king of SNL. He cherishes the time he spent on that show and truly understands what that show and that comedy has meant to the world. There are plenty of people out there who became huge who kinda shrug off where they got their start, like Eddie Murphy for example.
Akroyd and Murray are the best, both in their SNL work and their movies
TBF....he was not part of the ORIGINAL cast.
Bill Murray saved SNL from being cancelled after the departure of Chevy Chase --- Dan Aykroyd
John Griffith Those two were in Caddyshack but Rodney Dangerfield stole the movie!!!
@@scottystcloud7086 You forgot Blues Brothers, Continental Divide, 1941, and Neighbors.
@@eyehatefarcebook11 No way. I don't know anyone who watches those movies to see Rodney Dangerfield.....Bill all day.
@Wade Aykroyd is probably the only member still that's had as big a footprint popculturally as Murray, though Murray's had much more longevity.
Bill Fuckin Murray
Bill Murray is the Man!!
the only speech i did not speed through. love him dearly!
How can you not love bill Murray he’s one of the funniest people ever
I never said I didn’t love bill murray
I don’t like him....what’s the problem...is just my opinion
Andy Kaufman and Steve Martin used the show as a springboard. I think Andy would have played a great Bob in the movie "What about Bob?"

Garret was amazing. He is dam sharp for being 80.
He didn't get enough credit for his ability during the original run because he was seen as the token black.
Garrett was the most underrated of the group he had nothing supporting yet when he was at his sharpest he could steal the show. He deserved better.

When Chevy looked through the magnifying glass at the end 😂
Great to see these amazing people sharing their story about one of the best show snl

I second that. Murray easily outdid anything Chevy brought to the show.
Murray didnt join until the second year.
Bill shows a big heart. I thought he should of been involved, but yeah he wasn't there in 1975, but a big part of that cast later
I still consider Bill Murray an original member. He did try out for the 1st year and did not make the cut. Unbelievable
+Shanna Bol And he has done the VERY BEST of them all in movies!!!

I remember showing my daughter a cartoon caricature of Chevy Chase which appeared in a National Lampoon magazine in that era and she, being perhaps fourteen months old, opened her mouth wide to mimic the image.

Kudos to Garrett Morris for showing some class considering how he was treated when he was on the show. His speach was funny and moving.
So crazy seeing how old they’ve all gotten. Time flies. And growing up watch those guys and how hilarious they were and still are. Hope they ha e a lot of years ahead of them
Chevy so good to so many of us out in L.A.
Thanks dude.

Chevy actually sounds and looks better than he did a few years ago.
He supposedly quit drinking a couple years before this.
This show was a highlight of my youth. It came on at 10:30 PM then came on again at 11:30 P.M. on another channel, so I'd change channels and watch it again, for 2.5 hours. To me it was exciting. Best TV ever. Thankful I got to witness it while it happened.
BILL MURRAY IS SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE& SOSOSO MUCH MORE! I LOVE YOU MORE THAN WORDS BILL MURRAY! THE MAN!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Roseanna Roseanna Danna...we miss you Gilda and John B too!
It just goes to show ya…
It's always something.
Garrett is awesome! And Dan's reactions are precious.
1975....I was in 4th or 5th grade and NOT allowed to stay up or watch SNL. I remember one night, I heard from my room that SNL was on. I snuck down quietly downstairs, ,sat down without anyone seeing me, and caught a snippet of the show. I thought I was so cool to have seen that. I have enjoyed SNL through the years. Some more, some not. I am impressed with the current cast. Everyone has a special talent, and I am glad the show is still airing.
I came here to see my friends and I love them very much.
Oct 11, 1975. I had turned 16 the week before and SNL became the touchstone for my young generation. I could write pages about what these cast members and the show meant to us over the years, but I will simply say Bravo!
Or as General Francisco Franco might say, "Bravissimo!" (from beyond).
These men & women of the original cast (+Murray!) have some way inspired every comedian alive today, and those comedians will influence future comedians, and so on. That means, what they did on SNL and their shows/films will be embedded forever in comedy itself. They ARE comedy :)
Great group of actors. Lovely to hear from them all. 😊
Laraine Newman looks so much more lovely now than she did back then. Great upload! I used to play out in a band and missed an awful lot of the Saturday Night shows. Well, it's been 40+ years...Gotta see if there's somewhere that has all those old programs!
Fashion in the 70's was tacky.
Her face has filled out well. On the show, she always looked like she was sucking her cheeks in, which looked weird to me then...
@Igor Schmidlapp yeah drugs do that to you.
Fantastic!!! I just graduated when this show started. Best comedians together in one place!!!
Gotta say Bill Murray still funny as hell
I love them all! Anyone who can entertain with love and laughter is a Knight Of The Ages!
They knew they had it from the jump. Knew it was the right
show at the right time. Show just oozed with Swag and Confidence.
Drawing all the then college kids from across the East Coast. Who'd
never before even CONSIDERED a job writing comedy. SNL an
Arnold and a Sly in its' own right. A philosophy. A religion.
Comedy is a Religion.
Thank you for uploading. Real comedy.
THE BEST 'SNL' cast imo. I was growing up then only 10 when it first aired. Great memories 🙂
Originals cast was when snl was the best When they were the not ready for prime time players
They were my favorites,how did I miss that
When they showed Chevy in the audience, and then pulled back to Dan and Bill sitting behind him, wow.
It was a special time! Loved waiting all week for SNL!!!
Ground breaking, refreshing, unpredictable, unique, original
I remember watching them when I had a Broken leg stayed up all night till the network went off the air for the night . Back then there were only like 3-4 networks.God they were great ! Thanks for the good times .
THE BEST SHOW ON TV. I ADORE IT❤️
Always classy. My favorite snl cast. I love them very much!
I've watched SNL since the beginning , and I feel that the years with Dana Carvey and Phil Hartman had the most consistently funny skits.
Couldn't agree more! Absolutely love and loved Dana! He, in my opinion, was so much more talented that Mike and I still don't know how Mike blew up and Dana didn't.
Phil as "Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer"
Were you a toddler?
Historic moment. Who here didn't love watching Saturday Night Live when this cast was on? Who doesn't still quote lines from sketches that they appeared in?
LAND SHARK!
LOVE THAT BASS!
No Coke uh Pepsi...
Q : You have the rest of your life to discover what all the fuss was about.😊
Q : Troll. Self serving troll.
It’s true that John and Gilda brought the danger to the show with what they were willing to do. It’s a shame what they suffered with. I wish they were both here today. So glad this cast was given this honor. They had to take their humble experience of improv and the influence of Monty Python and Laugh-In, and create a whole new experience…on live TV!!
Aww look at that! Bill doesn't stand up for himself when asked to, but stands up for the others at the end. Then his speech, all about them not him. Such humility! Watch and learn, Chevy!
True class
Loraine Newman said it best. Each generation should love the cast at their time!!! I'm from the original cast. RIP Gilda & James!!!!!
Tim Tobias Gilda and John.. James is his brother and alive...
@@timclemons5473 sounded like a troll attempt,
It's good to see they still have a sense of humor and have a love for one another
Would never miss an episode back then, all great talents writing and performing. Never bother to tune in to today's SNL.
Watched the first episode and was hooked!!!
Thanks for the upload ... on her behalf, her name is spelled Laraine Newman.
DesiluTrek as soon as it came up, I cringed, too.
I love the original cast of SNL. Including Bill Murray. Just seeing them all on stage brings back so many memories. I miss Gilda Radner and John Belushi. I was only twelve when SNL first aired and now I am in my fifties! Hard to believe the cast range in age from their 60's to 80's!
Judging by Dan Ackroyd's reaction at 10:18, it seems like he knows where it went... :)
Jackie Nelson 😆
Dan Aykroyd***
THE best cast of all of the casts. I was only 10 when it aired. So many laughs & memories. Kudos to the originals☺
What a classy group of comedians
The orginional cast to include Bill Marry were the greatest thank u all
Honoring SNL without Bill Murray is like honoring Knots Landing or Dynasty without Donna Mills or Joan Collins only because they weren't part of the original cast. They made those shows.
"They made" No, SNL was already famous before Bill joined.
Kevin wasn't even around back than so his just talking out of his ass
What about Steve Martin?
Brazilian Atlantis But Bill took SNL to another level.
@@analogkid4957 "Bill took SNL to another level." Nope. Not in any way. He wasn't the guy who made Stripes yet, let alone Ghostbusters, he got funnier over the years.
I had always made time for Saturday night Live !
Best snl cast of all time
With Bill Murray
I agree, early 90s was 2nd place
Sad to lose gilda and john. Show changes every year, thanks to celebrities who are committed to keep it going. I hope it never goes off the air. I could name a few I'd like to see come back, but just honored and blessed I had this show during my generation
@@calmshorefilms1960 it’s just like the show “Survivor” where the first cast was the best and the preceding casts couldn’t hold a candle to them
@@michaelconnor5378 I love that you said that because I'm a huge Survivor fan so I get it
TWO THUMBS UP FOR THIS VIDEO. Enjoyed every minute. Thanks for posting.
Dan Aykroyd can't stop cracking up behind chevy☺
He's just a big kid at heart, always has been! :)
He gets his humour, some jokes go over people heads as they are just fast quips, but Dan knows him well and gets his jokes.
Well they are best friends since the late 70s.
Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase have NEVER been best friends, are you kidding me? Dan always sided with Belushi over Chevy.
He was definitely laughing at him and not with him. They apparently were and aren’t friendly
Bills comedic timing and delivery is second to none :D
Chevy is the dude! Love him, you never know what your gonna get
Dan looks adorable and homely now, the glasses and everything make him look like an adorable dad.
I wish Garrett Morris had been on more stuff over the years... ya would see him pop up here n there... but not nearly enough... he is one funny mama jama
SealTeam Ryx Redd Foxx and Richard Pryor overshadowed his success.
Last I seen him was 2 broke girls.
Quality not quantity. I fully agree he didn’t do enough, but the stuff he did do was pure comedy gold.
That was because he was like that's era's Keanen in the since that doing SNL wasn't a launching pad or first major break for him, but another significant notch on his already lustrious acting belt, not to mention, like he said, he was at least 15 years older than the rest of the original cast.
He was the radio station owner on Martin... funny as hell.
That was the perfect time to grow up. I couldn't ask for a better time in history. We had SNL , and Rock Concerts . There's no other time in history or since like the 60's 70's and 80's. And there's never been a better cast than the original with Bill Murray. I didn't think I would ever get to 18 years old, then the last 40 years is a blur that I feel like I was in suspended animation. Whoosh. Seems like yesterday the show would come on and Chevy Chase would be behind the news desk talking dirty with a girl on the phone unaware the news had went live and he's famous words I'm Chevy Chase and you're not.
