“The Best of Dan Aykroyd.” Warner. $24.98. Dan Aykroyd was probably the most versatile of the Not-Ready-for-Prime-Time Players in those heady early years of NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.” And some of his classic bits are here: those “wild and crazy” Festrunk Brothers (with Steve Martin), Leonard Pinth-Garnell hosting “Bad Ballet” and Richard Nixon’s final days of wallowing in paranoia and self-pity (“C’mon, clot, just move up my leg”). Just as many of these pieces are pedestrian, heavy-handed and repetitive, though, and the mystery is why Aykroyd decided to include them. Information: (818) 954-6000.
