Trivia: Which “SNL” star landed his first film lead in “Meatballs”?
Chevy Chase
Adam Sandler
Bill Murray
Chris Rock
The correct answer is Bill Murray
So why is this answer correct? : The 1979 Canadian comedy “Meatballs” was the first starring role for Bill Murray, then in his late 20s with only one “Saturday Night Live” season under his belt, and the directorial debut of “Ghostbusters” director Ivan Reitman. Murray plays a sarcastic lead counselor at the scrappy Camp North Star, which has a rivalry with the rich kids across the lake at Camp Mohawk.
