Their other writing credits include "Saturday Night Live" and" Normal, Ohio".Between 1987 and 1995 they wrote/cowrote six films, including "Coneheads", "Wayne's World", "Wayne's World 2", "Tommy Boy", and "The Brady Bunch Movie".

Atlanta History

Bonnie and Terry were part of a 1980s Atlanta comedy troupe whose members often appeared on the local Atlanta comedy TV show 'The Bill Tush Show'. Bonnie and Terry also worked as feature writers for (no relation) Ted Turner's new (at the time) CNN spinoff CNN Headline News. In the mid 1980s they produced the WTBS Sunday morning magazine show Good News with host Liz Wickersham.

Another comedy troupe member and good friend, Jan Hooks, after appearing in Pee Wee's Big Adventure, landed a spot on Saturday Night Live. Occasionally, Bonnie and Terry submitted comedy material for Jan (and via Jan) to Lorne Michaels. Within a year, Lorne had convinced Bonnie and Terry to leave their lives in Atlanta and come to work in New York as fulltime writers on SNL.
