National Lampoons?

Question

Here's what i know for sure.

Back in the 60's there were 4 or 5 people:

Eddie Murphy
Steve Martin
Chevy chase
Linda Ratner
Dan Akryod

(i think all 5)

were part of

National Lampoons Talk Radio. Then they created a magazine of the same name.

Sometime later they thought of creating a tv series of comedy and so was formed Saturday Night Live.

I believe Chevy Chase is still to this day either owner or at least still on the board of directors.

Can anyone give me more information on this group and how it all came about or their connection (any) still with SNL?
