The Festrunk Brothers first appeared on the late-night comedy show on Sept. 24, 1977.

Ray and Winston are back!

At one point, 'Ghostbusters,' 'Gremlins' and 'Top Secret!' were all set to premiere on June 8, 1984.

Their last episode on the now-venerable program was the finale of the fourth season.

At first, some questioned whether John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd meant it or not.

There’s still a part for Bill Murray, too.

Dan Aykroyd clarified his comments about last year’s Ghostbusters, while Sony responded to his initial statements, made on a British TV show, criticizing director Paul Feig, particularly about costly reshoots Aykroyd claimed killed any possibility of further Ghostbusters sequels.

Last year’s Ghostbusters reboot was supposed to be the start of an entire new franchise (or perhaps even a universe of franchises) around the venerable ’80s horror comedy.
