He would die of an over dose in about a year or so.

John Landis is a world-class director, and he identified Belushi as one of the greatests talents he had ever seen.
Truly great comics, like Gleason, Richard Pryor or Lenny Bruce are timeless. Belushi belongs in this pantheon, and would have continued to dominate any vehicle until the day of his death ( he was that good).
Like most geniuses, he was a tortured soul, and paid a big price for living life on the ragged edge. Need evidence of his talent? Watch his legend continue to grow each year after his passing.

It's funny you compared him to Jackie Gleason . He was that great and just as funny . He never did let stars go to his head . I saw him once by chance , strolling along in a fishing cap , waving , like one of the crowd , which he was .Drugs ruin lives . He was a prime example . He would still be just as great if he was alive today .

I like to think Belushi would have made several more comedy classics before venturing into more serious fare. Much like Bill Murray has done.

Out of control cocaine and heroin addicts, like Belushi, even if he were alive, he'd be so decimated by the disease he couldn't perform.
The guy wanted to die in my opinion, that's why he tried a speedball.

He would be a fall down drunken disgrace, he was a bad actor and a very dumb comedian.

If he would've kept up his drug habit, he would eventually derail, like he already has done.
