For Page Six’s 40th anniversary, we unearthed a recounting of “SNL” wildman John Belushi’s first talk- show interview on “Midday Live” in ’77.
Belushi had to be rousted out of bed and appeared unshaven and “on all fours, crawling onto the set.” He then threw a glass of water on host Bill Boggs, kicked over a table and said on-air of the female producer who intervened, “I don’t know who this person is, but she’s asking for sex.”

“How much for the little boy... the women ... how much for the women?”
I know I shouldn’t find humor in the state of someone who was as out of control as John Belushi, but...it was the Seventies. Things were a bit different then...
“You! How much for your wife?”
“I want to buy your children! Sell them to me.”
I am here for the comments.
JB was 2nd City great and then with national lampoon and lastly w SNL was freakin hilarious.
Jonathon Winters was the most genius and most tortured. RIP funny guys.
Is it true that Jonathan Winters would commit himself from time to time? I have heard that a few times, but I do not know how true it is. It wouldn’t surprise me, though. I loved Jonathan Winters when I was a kid. He was a genius.
I found that scene hilarious! And the scene where they visit The Penguin...:)
When my wife and I were in Spain on our Honeymoon, I walked into the television room in the hotel full of people, all watching “The Blues Brothers” in Spanish...I found that kind of funny too!
Jonathan Winters had a way that appealed to kids...:)
RIP.
I loved Winters when I was a kid, as well, but, like Robin Williams, he became downright annoying in later years.
I ran out of gas! I got a flat tire! I didn’t have change for cab fare! I lost my tux at the cleaners! I locked my keys in the car! An old friend came in from out of town! Someone stole my car! There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! IT WASN’T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!
Jonathon Winters was the most genius and most tortured. RIP funny guys
AMEN, I would laugh for 15 minutes when Winters just looked at the camera
Johnathan winters suffered from bipolar disorder.
