Per Stephen Colbert, Belushi was none too pleased about it
Belushi would regularly “slap people on stage” to get a “shock reaction” from the audience. “He has these big old meathook hands,” Colbert said. “So he would pick someone who he felt like, ‘That guy’s not gonna hit me back.’ And he would jack them.” While Colbert “1,000%” got the joke of slapping people on stage—if we don’t—he did recall a time when things went “a little bit too far.”“Obviously, Mr. Belushi was not aware it had gone too far.
“So I turned to Belushi, and I said, ‘Like this,’ and I gave him the swiftest crack I could give him from a short distance.” This didn’t go over well. There was “chaos in the house,” and the two men had to be separated as the house lights turned on in the theater. “We’re backstage yelling at each other. It was fantastic,” Colbert said. “He was a little upset.”Let that be a lesson to us all: commit to the bit, unless the bit is slapping Jim Belushi.
