Description

Twice-signed check the year before SNL launched Belushi to stardom

Personal check, 6 x 2.75, filled out and signed by Belushi, “John A. Belushi,” payable to Cash for $20, August 1, 1974. Check is also endorsed on the reverse, “John A. Belushi.” Bank stamps to body, with lower portion of one stamp lightly affecting beginning of signature, with a stamp on reverse, affecting just a single letter of signature, otherwise fine condition. At this point in his career, Belushi was the director of The National Lampoon Radio Hour, working alongside future SNL regulars Gilda Radner, Bill Murray, and Chevy Chase. Also in 1974, Belushi would marry Judy Jacklin, an associate producer of the show. Several of the segments performed on this show would be adjusted to SNL sketches in the early seasons. Belushi would join the SNL cast in 1975 beginning a rise to stardom that would end in tragedy in 1982. Two nice full and bold Belushi signatures. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
