Fox News
Peter Aykroyd, an Emmy-nominated writer, former “Saturday Night Live” cast member and brother to Dan Aykroyd, has died at age 66.
Later in the night, the official "Saturday Night Live" Twitter account shared an old short film that Peter Aykroyd starred in called "Java Junkie." The sketch plays out like a 1950s noir-style story in which a man enters a diner and can’t stop drinking cup after cup of coffee. When he’s thrown out, he takes to the streets sucking down as much java in New York City as he can get his hands on. Eventually, he’s taken in by Maxwell House where he’s taught to kick the habit.
The sketch similarly ends with a title card honoring the late writer/actor.
