seeing that christopher guest has an uncredited role here, do any of you know if that is john belushi in the scene towards the end of the movie when the administrator says he quits??? there looks like a guy that resembles belushi in that scene in the crowd, at the front.

I just watched The Hospital and I believe that John Belushi was in that scene.

do you mean the white guy standing to the right of the dark guy with glasses?

Speaking of Guest, where is he in The Hospital? Couldn't find him when I watched it last.

Just saw this film last night. Hilarious, and reminded me greatly of "Network" . . . for obvious reasons. George C. Scott was amazing, and so was Diana Rigg (though I couldn't figure out if she was trying to affect an American accent; given her character's background, that should've been the case, and most of the time she pulled it off, yet in some scenes, it seemed like her British accent kept coming through).

Re: Christopher Guest, the scene I immediately thought of that he might be in was the locker-room scene with Dr. Welbeck and two residents, where Welbeck was extolling the virtues (or lack thereof) of incorporating. One of the two residents was a red-headed fellow who could've been Guest, but I don't know. He's in that scene so briefly, and I don't think he utters a single line. My memory of him is tying his shoe and grinning from ear to ear, contemplating his future riches. While we were watching, I thought he looked vaguely familiar, but just couldn't pin down why. Now I think that may have been him.
