7	The younger brother of the late Creator/JohnBelushi, Jim was also a cast member on ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' during Dick Ebersol's turn as executive producer and showrunner (from 1983 to 1985, though Jim Belushi was temporarily fired due to not being funny enough). His recurring characters included Hank Rippy, the host of a call-in show called ''Hello, Trudy'', Jesse Donnelly (an unlucky man, often mugged and robbed on the streets of UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity), and That White Guy ([[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy a middle-aged white man who can rap]]). Some of his celebrity impressions included Babe Ruth (whom his older brother also played on ''SNL''), Wrestling/HulkHogan, Robert Keeshan (Series/CaptainKangaroo), Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger, Pope John Paul II, and Music/WillieNelson. He is sometimes referred to by John’s fans as [[PoorMansSubstitute “The Funniest Living Belushi”]].
