(14,811 posts)Dan Aykroyd was doing his 'Jimmy Carter' bit, taking phone calls and answering questions from the Oval Office. After 3 or 4 serious questions a guy called in saying he had taken some real strong acid & he was freaking out. 'Jimmy Carter' asked him "Have you peaked yet?" and when the guy said he thinks so 'Jimmy' told him, "Just relax, put on some Allman Brothers, smoke a doobie and just chill out for a while."

He could go down in history as the most underrated Presidents in History. But look at him now, after this clip gets out during the rememberences of Greg Allman.
