During an appearance Tuesday on "The Oprah Winfrey Show," one of the original Not Ready for Primetime Players said the late John Belushi was a misogynistic comic who had it in for the females working on "Saturday Night Live," reports Jezebel.com.

Jane Curtin recalled that Belushi said at the time, "Women are just fundamentally not funny." She added that during sketches, Belushi tried to undermine the material from the female writers.

"He felt as if it were his duty to sabotage pieces that were written by women," Curtin said on the show, according to the report.

According to the book I read by the brothers of Chris Farley (about their brother), this was an attitude shared by Belushi's Second City colleague, Del Close. Maybe they influenced each other?

This is not really news. Jane's been saying this about Belushi for years.

Hey, it's the truth. It's sad how some people were raised like their Chauvinistic fathers to treat women like they don't matter. But you know, it's just a self-inflicted value of self-worth. They wouldn't treat women like that if they felt like they had any self-worth for themselves.
