    SNL in its prime. What talent! Look at what they could do with just 7 Not Ready for Prime Time Players instead of the 17 cast members they use now. Belushi was a master at his craft. Plus a cleverly written premise with 3 separate complete sets in one sketch. Ultimate irony....OJ as a priest!

    I'd come around to believing a stuntman did "Joliet Jake's" backflips and cartwheels down the center aisle of the "Triple Rock Baptist Church" in "The Blues Brothers". But now watching Belushi bust his moves on the dance floor in this sketch, I've circled back to believing he probably did that all himself.
    Dang!

      John also did back flips when he & Danny were the "musical guests" on SNL back then. The show was live-can't fake that on a live show! He was an athlete in high school in my home town. This was one of my all time favorite skits of his! So much talent in 1 skit! I thought up a few jokes about the samurai sword & OJ--but they probably wouldn't get printed!

    He was just passing thru, staying just long enough to remind us just how absurd it all is, so laugh, enjoy, burn bright, and exit, stage right, before it becomes boring. I'm, just glad I was here to see it all first hand. There will never be anyone ever like him. And, there never should be.

    These sketches are meta on so many levels. Belushi's Samurai character was based on a character portrayed by Toshiro Mifune in Akira Kurosawa's film Yojimbo. Then he adapts it to topical scenarios with hilarious results. Belushi's comic genius never fails to astonish me.
