Harold Ramis interviewed in GQ

Here is a very, very interesting interview of Harold Ramis in GQ. The only problem is that they don't have a single page option so you have to click "next" over the 11 pages of the interview. But it's worth it.

Here's a taste:
It seems like you’re the only one who didn’t end up on Saturday Night Live.
Lorne [Michaels] offered me a job, but at that point I was the head writer on SCTV. SNL was completely fueled by cocaine; the show was being written literally overnight. I didn’t want to stay up all night writing. And the show had a veneer of New York sophistication—very snide and superior. I thought, It’s just not me. Besides, we were already working on Animal House.
