Michael O'Donoghue: Elvis is Dead"I've seen this attributed to John Lennon," director John Landis once recalled, "but I know [former 'Saturday Night Live' head writer] Michael O'Donoghue said it, because I was there when we heard Elvis died. My secretary came in and she said, 'Elvis is dead,' and Michael O'Donoghue said, 'Good career move.'"
[According to Forbes magazine, Elvis Presley's estate earned $40 million in 2003.]
[Trivia: Michael O'Donoghue spoke the very first words in the first sketch aired on "Saturday Night Live," teaching John Belushi nonsense English phrases.]
