'SNL' Turns 50: Aykroyd, Franken, Zweibel & Lovitz

Oh, I went to college at UC Irvine, and there was a professor of mine, William Needles, who taught me Shakespeare. And when he would do it, though, himself, he'd always go, he'd say, like, the opening speech from Henry V, the chorus, and it was, Oh, for the muse of fire that would ascend the brightest heaven of invention.

And, uh... But I based it on... They wrote it, and it was really funny. And then I based it on this actor, Ned Glass. Ned Glass, he talks like this. And he was the father on Bridget and Bernie. He was the Jewish father. He was in... He's probably the best West Side Story. He was Pops, and I guess he runs the drug store or the candy store. And when I was 15 years old...

And I was 15, and my friend's father says to Ned Glass, John wants to be an actor. And he says, you want to be an actor? He goes, what would you do if you hurt your toe? And I said, I'd say, ouch.
