#2 on Saturday Night Live the year with Joe Piscopo. I know for sure he is a Weekend Update guy and was in a ton of sketches. Anyway, he was in tons of movies and tons of TV. His face you will 100% recognize. Sadly he passed away in 2005 at his home in Connecticut. Wow, I only recall read ing it was suicide, but I just read his throat was slit. Woah, not what I was expecting. Crazy crazy. Sorry, that shocked me a bit. Back to the rest of the cast. There are a ton of other people in this flick, but let’s grab two more.
One of the background characters is Coach Evans, played by the always wonderful Brian Doyle-Murray, best known as the writer of Caddyshack and Bill Murray’s Older Brother. Ramsey College Dean Patterson is played by the late great Phillip Baker Hall. Amazing character actor, most known as Bookman from those two perfect Seinfeld episodes. This cast is just bananas and I could keep adding people, but I need to move on. The crew is next and although I won’t go into great detail on everyone, the one I will for sure highlight is the director. Well, technically the second director of this flick. But let’s talk about the director. Savage Steve Holland. He is the genius behind two other masterpieces, Better Off Dead and One Crazy Summer. He not only wrote those gems but directed them as well. And if that did not make him a god in my eyes, he also was the animator and creator of the Whammy on Press Your Luck. Nutso. Did I mention he was an assistant director of Saturday Night Live back in the day and wrote a bunch of Kenan & Kel episodes. This guy is amazing and on my short list of people I want to meet and shake his hand. But as I said, he was technically the second director hired for this movie. The first is Jan Eliasberg. She was predominantly a TV director doing tons of shows, such as Wiseguy, Miami Vice, and LA Law. Not sure why she left, but they picked a great replacement for her. This movie was written by Terrel Seltzer, whom I was pretty ignorant of, but read he wrote the George
