...unassuming personality is likely responsible for his slow ascent through comedy. After graduating from Denison College in Ohio and aborting plans to earn a law degree, Carell signed on with the legendary Second City comedy group in Chicago—a breeding ground for such stars as John Belushi, Bill Murray, and Chris Farley...
...being on "double super secret background," a line that's raised a few eyebrows ever since it leaked into the public domain. I told the grand jury that the phrase is not a journalistic term of art but a reference to the film Animal House, in which John Belushi's wild Delta House fraternity is placed on "double secret probation."

She was indicted after giving an interview to the National Enquirer in which she reportedly told of repeatedly injecting the comedian with a heroin-and-cocaine mixture known as a "speed-ball." The Enquirer quoted Smith as saying, "I killed John Belushi. I didn't mean to, but I am responsible." Said L.A. Deputy District Attorney Elden Fox: "She sold the story for $15,000, confessing to committing 14 felonies in the state of California." Failure to charge Smith, said the prosecutor, would have been "derelict." DEMOCRATS Fair? To Whom...
