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

Yep

Seconded

They should’ve had guys in John Belushi and Gilda Radner suits

Rest in peace to both of them

💯

Oh and you know Chevy will DEFINITELY take the award though...

So, he can see his friends only at this award show. That's fucked up

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. .

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

Humility

Honestly, he doesn’t have to after all he’s done. But I’m so glad he was there for this

🤣🤣🤣🤣

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... " 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.

Before Borrat there was Lodka Groveitz Andy Kauffman was insulted and is rolling in his grave after this award cerimony.

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

Absolutely!

Cocaines a hell of a drug

RIP❤

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.

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!!!

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!

Not true.

@Rover Bill Murray came in the 2nd season when Chevy Chase left the show.

@@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...

I never like b murray

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.

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

@@YouCantHoldOnTooLong Please realise that grammer and speling mean doodly in the modern information hiway.

@@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

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?"

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.

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.

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.

Crying...

I had some tears during this entire clip.People lost,people getting older.....it's life.

Yes

As Bill spoke I pictured him and Gilda as Lisa Loopner and Todd

I liked seeing Jane's bra on TV but I loved Gilda

Dan's put on weight, but he's aged the least of all of them.

He’s also completely batshit insane now.

@@petersmith9138 is that a bad thing?

KRYPTONITE SPIDER-BITE DYNAMITE yes it’s a bad thing for his health

@@soapboxx9664 it's hard to define 'crazy' or 'insane'. Im certain someone said that the guy who diacoverd fire was insane.

He's great, his appearances on Letterman over the years are legendary in and of themselves!!!

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.

@@analogkid4957 Yep, Bill can do it all. Stripes, Lost in Translation, Scrooged, Zombieland.

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 don't think Murray is on Twitter.

And your opinion is wrong

@@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.

Lubbylove89 chase set the tone for that show...weekend update...falling in beginning...etc

Actually Chevy was only hired as a writer on a 1 year contract. He somehow ended up being a cast member though.

the only speech i did not speed through. love him dearly!

I think the landshark didn't age well or maybe I can't believe that it was funny in 1975. It's cute and mildly amusing at best.

that was hilarious!!!!

He supposedly quit drinking a couple years before this.

“Oh BroomGilda, more leeches please!” - Steve Martin as Theodoric of York, Medieval Barber.

Also had the funnest speech without the schmaltzy stuff. Dan came in heavy, on the other hand...academy blah blah blah

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

It just goes to show ya… It's always something.

"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.

God bless the talented, most funniest, kind people, The Late John belushi, and The very funny and talented, Gilda Radner!!!!

Who are you talking to? I think you got caught up in the actual famous people making speeches and tried to make one of your own.. Lol.

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.

Dinastía Chow Fan she was good in a more traditional acting role in “ Kate and Allie”.

Dan Aykroyd***

Ooooohh..what about MICHAEL O'DonoGHUE...he was WAY better than Matthew...

Dan has a big bald spot here. LOL

Looks good. I'm glad too

Fuck him

@@masterpiecelacquers2766 You're a class act.

@@Danimal77 who showed up for his celebrity roast? Nobody, not even Lorne who has now had him banned from the SNL studio.

Jackie Nelson 😆

Dan Aykroyd***

Baseball has been berry good to me !

....and he was a GREAT singer. Any bits where he had to sing - including, and especially, opera - were great. He was great at nailing the idioms of any style, and in a comedic way. I just rewatched the first four seasons. There's a bit where he's doing a show tune based on Charles Manson's obsession with The White Album, specifically Revolution #9, it's so hilarious I can't even tell you, I crack up just THINKING about that bit. And the song is IN 9/4. He's singing in an odd time signature, and nailing it.

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"

Originals cast was when snl was the best When they were the not ready for prime time players

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

Ricardo Davila except without the humor

Hes a douche

@@jeffkoeningsberg2127 ditto 😃

@@masterpiecelacquers2766 big bald and bitter

Ricardo Davila lol

Tim Tobias Gilda and John.. James is his brother and alive...

@@timclemons5473 sounded like a troll attempt,

Miss it

He came from a time when people didn't take things so seriously and PC. Sadly, those days seem like a long time ago.

Yeah but this was for the first season. Which he wasn't in.

He replaced Chevy when Chevy left middle of the second season. That's where the beef started between them

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.

Society was less diverse back then so you could sense what was funny and people would laugh. Today, different people have different opinions, so it's much harder to know what's funny to everyone. It's harder to make a diverse audience laugh. Let's all cry and blame it on millenials and the political party that we don't like.

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.

i'm surprised jon lovitz never went on to be a big star. dude is hilarious in almost everything I've seen him in. was he just not marketable enough as an actor to get big?

ACTING!

@@evanjackson2777 GENIUS!
