10 Greatest Comedy Duos Of All Time
9. Dan Aykroyd & John Belushi
Calling Dan Aykroyd & John Belushi a comedy duo only works when you look at their best collaboration: The Blues Brothers. These two SCTV and Saturday Night Live alumni worked together for years before coming up with the sketch that would become the sketch comedy series' first feature film.
The two met back in Toronto in 1974 and began working together almost immediately. The following year, both men would go on to become founding members of the SNL cast, but it wasn't until 1978 that the pair launched their most memorable act on the show.
The Blues Brothers even worked as a musical guest on SNL on April 22, 1978, but they also released several albums and finally brought their act to the silver screen in 1980.
Tragically, Belushi passed away in 1982, but his spirit would live on with Ackroyd continuing to play Elwood J. Blues off and on to remember his partner and friend. He even starred in a sequel released in 1998, which honored Belushi's memory while staying true to the act's comedy and musical roots.
