My Take
I've always read John Belushi as a craftsman disguised as a hurricane. Popular memory keeps the wild man, the first-season Saturday Night Live berserker who seemed to run on pure appetite, but the record shows a writer sharp enough to win a Primetime Emmy in 1977. His chemistry with Dan Aykroyd, forged at Chicago's Second City, was the kind of partnership you cannot manufacture; one grounded the other. That he died at thirty-three in 1982 makes every surviving clip feel both electric and unbearably brief. For me, he remains the standard against which physical comedians are still measured, whether they realize it or not.
