Thanks for the info. Never knew that and it's too bad really. They were a great pair for some time.

It seems that Bill and Harold saw one another and reconciled before Ramis passed.

The guy rips the New York Times for it's piece on Harold Ramis and then spends most of the segment talking about how awesome Betamax was when he first saw Animal House.  ::)

I'm all for calling out the NY Times most of the time, but Chuck Todd seems like a tool.

Thanks MD. It's good to know that happened.

Chuck Todd goes over-the-top quite a bit on Morning Joe.  It's a bit of a running gag for them, that he goes bonkers on MJ and is calmed down by the time his own show starts afterwards

Meh. I don't watch either show. After seeing that clip, I'm happy with that choice.

Back in 1975, was at the Philadelphia Shipyard, and there was a traveling comedy show, The National Lampoon Review.  It consisted of four unknown sketch comedians, John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Harold Ramis, and Joe Flaherty.  All had honed their chops at Chicago's Second City group, and this was a break for them.
All the skteches were very topical and probably wouldn't have any resonance to most people today.  Gilda played Patty Hearst, they all were infected by "the phlebitic clots" and Belushi as an Air Force General called in a surgical strike.  (A reference to a medical issue of President Nixon), but Flaherty brought down the house.
He was playing a research doctor and his shy daughter was going out on a date with Belushi.  He asked her if they were going to go out and park at a lover's lane, have some kissing and stuff.  "Just remember, don't give him a blow job.  Remember how your mother died."
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." — Abraham Lincoln.

"I have enjoyed very warm relations with my two husbands."
"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

It was good of Bill to mention Harold, as he was listing Oscar nominees Sunday night.
Any time is a good time for pie.

I thought I had heard that Ramis didn't intend to be cast in Ghostbusters and had to be pushed into the role. Is that true? I can't recall where I read it.
