Billy Crystal back on Broadway as "Mr. Saturday Night"
CBSN
When the film "Mr. Saturday Night" hit the big screen in 1992, it seemed to have everything: There was Billy Crystal as the abrasive stand-up comedian Buddy Young, Jr., and a top-notch cast as his long-suffering family. It was Crystal's first shot at directing, and he played Buddy from a young star to a washed-up has-been.
For Crystal, the film was a personal victory. But a hit, it was not.
Correspondent Tracy Smith asked, "We talked about 'Mr. Saturday Night,' and I asked you, was 'Mr. Saturday Night' a hiccup or a career killer? And you said, 'Oh, I thought it was a career killer.'"
