  1. Second City, comedy from Chicago. Some names you might recall:
    John Belushi, 1971
    John Candy, Bill Murray, Betty Thomas, 1973
    Dan Akroyd, Eugene Levy, Gilda Radner, 1974
    George Wendt, 1975
    Shelley Long, 1976

    I feel very fortunate that I saw these people perform before they became famous.

  2. Some fantastic talent there and Second City was fantastic. They were pretty much the ‘perfect storm’. I don’t know believe others dropped into the mix would have been as strong as that team was. I didn’t realize Wendt and Long came from there pre-Cheers.

    For another old show, did you ever see Fernwood 2 Night?
