Obituary:  Actor Richard Belzer, 78, died:

Belzer was born in Connecticut in 1944. He described his mother as physically abusive and claimed his comedy career began when he would make his mom laugh to distract her from beating both him and his brother.

After his first divorce in 1972, he began his acting career, becoming a staple of The Improv and Catch a Rising Star. Belzer became the audience warm-up act for Saturday Night Live between 1975 and 1980. He was also a feature player on the National Lampoon Radio Hour with John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, and Harold Ramis.
