Second City Celebrates Its 50th-- Part 1
Chicago's own Second City comedy troupe is celebrating its 50th anniversary with all sorts of goings on this weekend. I have never seen them live and knew that I was familiar with some of their people like John and Jim Belushi, Tina Fey, and Bill Murray.
The December 6th Chicago Tribune had a whole section dedicated to Second City and a huge list of alumnae under "Second City's 50 Most famous Faces. I was familiar with a whole lot of them and there were a lot I've never heard of before as well.
ALAN ARKIN 1960
JOAN RIVERS 1961-- The Late Show
DAVID STEINBERG 1964
ROBERT KLEIN 1965-- Comedy Tonight, Reign Over Me
PETER BOYLE 1967-- Everybody Loves Raymond, Young Frankenstein
BRIAN DOYLE-MURRAY 1969-- Caddyshack, SNL
HAROLD RAMIS 1969-- SCTV, Ghostbusters
JOHN BELUSHI 1971-- SNL, Animal Hose, Blues Brothers
JOHN CANDY 1973-- SCTV, Uncle Buck
BILL MURRAY 1973-- SNL, Caddyshack, Groundhog Day
SNL stands for Saturday Night Live
Lots More to Come. --RoadDog
