Before Bill Murray was, well, Bill Murray — the beloved eccentric who uses a 1-800 number in lieu of an agent and hired a deaf personal assistant just to spite Groundhog Day producers — he was a struggling comedian looking for gigs in New York City. In 1977, Murray would shoot to fame as Chevy Chase’s replacement on NBC’s Saturday Night; before that, though, he apparently made ends meet by playing the Human Torch on this serialized radio drama (narrated by Stan Lee!). Flame on, Bill!
