Fun Jim Belushi Story

Had dinner with a couple of writers from his sitcom last year. This may be the craziest story I've ever heard about a Hollywood "celebrity."

Belushi is a producer on his show. Apparently at some point last year he became concerned about not wasting any time on the set. So, he took the most obvious step and started being in a medical container. Uh, yeah, you read that right. He said he was doing it to save the time it would take to stop shooting or rehearsing. He would go behind the set and pee in a plastic medical container.

At some point someone on the crew complained and he had a small "booth" built on the set. That way he could pee into his jar in private. This went on for a few months. The best thing of all was that he ordered a PA to carry his urine container around - and it was usually filled with urine. He would only empty it every couple of days.
So at some point, Disney heard about what he was doing and told him he could not make a PA carry his urine around. Jim then started carrying his own urine around the set.

One day he was walking past the catering table at lunch. The way it works on a set is all the crew lines up to eat. If a star wants to eat, they can just go to the front of the line. So, Jim was walking past the table and stopped to look at the food. He put the nearly full urine jar down and started handling all the fruit, looking for the right piece. The next day, Disney has nearly 20 calls from people on their sexual harrassment line. Most of the messages apparently said something like, "I don't know if this is the right line to call but I don't know what else to do...'

Jim then had to have a conversation with the Disney executives. They told him "Disney has decided you must use a toilet." Not something you have to tell the lead of a sitcom too often, I would imagine.

This is where it gets weird. Seriously.

Jim agreed to stop using the medical container. But one day they were having a table read in the offices, with the executives there and Jim says, "I have to go to the bathroom." He gets up and everyone hears him just walk behind the door and start to pee in his container. They thought he must have stashed it outside the door. Everyone was so creeped out they did not know what to do.

But the reason he said he was peeing in the jar in the first place was to save time. Now why the fuck was he peeing in the hallway in the offices?

The best part of the story was how he disposed of his urine. You would think a toilet, right? Nope. Every couple of days, he would run out of the studio, cross the lot and empty it into a storm drain. That must have been nice for the tourists.

At the end of the year, the network was not sure if they were going to renew the show. They took the set down. But Jim had left his full urine bottle behind. It was sitting on a stool. No one on the crew wanted to touch it, so they struck the set around the urine jar. The next day the writers wanted to see what had happened to the jar, so they poked their head in to the studio. The crew had taken everything out of the building, except the jar on the stool. They had rigged a small light to shine a spotlight down on the urine jar.

Fucking crazy.

There's a joke to be made here about Jim Belushi and his band Jim Belushi and the Sacred Hearts, but it's not coming to me.

............... huh?

The lead singer of MSI goes by the name Jimmy Urine...but I think we have a new contender for the throne.

Get it?

Because Jim Belushi is a nasty bastard. Who pees where he shouldn't.

.....

E Bay, E Bay, E Bay.

Haha, I'm sure there is some mouth breathing stupid fuck who is willing to spend a few grand on less-talented Belushi Bros. piss...maybe just to drink it.

fucking crazy about sums it up right

One of my best friends used to be the set PA on that show. She confirms the urine jar, though she said during her time there she was never asked to hold it.

NO!
It can't be real.

i just have to keep coming back to this to reread it. i may have to print it out and frame it.

I miss working in TV.

Sometimes I'm glad I don't. His Urine is right up there with Hugh Heffner's erection on things that I don't ever need to see.

classic.
this is the most entertaining story I've read in some time
