On March 5th 1982 John Belushi died of a drug overdose in his bungalow at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. Belushi had been injected with a speedball, a mixture of cocaine and heroin.

Belushi was known for Saturday Night Live, The Blues Brothers, Animal House and so much more.

He was only 33 years old.

Some of his skits from Saturday Night Live were incredibly popular.

Below is one called “Don’t Look Back In Anger” that seems eerie in retrospect.

It is John walking through a cemetery visiting graves of his SNL cast mates.

Below that is John’s screen test for SNL.

What is your favorite Belushi SNL skit?
