Is he a russian? In the SNL sketch "Olga Korbut" did he really spoke russian there?

I thought he was Greek because of the "cheezbugga" sketch.

I read somewhere that John was actually embarassed by his Albanian heritage. :o

Yeah I guess in Wheaton his family was kind of an outcast because they were Albanian on the A&E Bio that was on last night they talked about it.

wheaton is the county seat of dupage county and at one time was kinda snooty in areas there . very old town with with a lot of family tie theres , where the same families lived in and around the same area . so i sure when the belushi family moved out there from the city they went immeaditly accepted .

on a side note the home inwhich they lived in was up for sale a couple years ago and the going pice was in the $250/300k range

I wonder what it was like during prohibition.

[dixiesquare]
