This is a parody of 'The Hustler' which was featured on a short-lived sketch show (The New Show) from the 1980s.
This is taken directly from an old VHS tape.

John Candy was a Funny Uncle Buck but John Candy is not THE GREAT ONE! Jackie Gleason will be the greatest comedian of all times because he was CLEAN COMEDY AND THATS THE TOUGHEST COMEDY OF ALL! But Jackie Gleason did it first take no rehearsal every show and he did live tv better! The Jackie Gleason that we know was funny but Jackie Gleason was the total package he could do music and made many hit albums and he could do a jig like any Irishman but Jackie was smart to the business and all the traps they lay out for super stars because Jackie watched his mom die!!!! Sad to know that Jackie Gleason is now copied by John Candy when he is the greatest today to even come one inch close to Jackie Gleason the Great One!😅

"I could be there for months!" LOL My friend and I had the pleasure of briefly meeting John! We were at Clearwater Beach, FL when we saw a group of people out from the north pavilion. There were a group of guys standing together drinking beers with their wives/girlfriends laying around them on their towels. The guys seem to be hanging onto every word of a big guy in the middle wearing dark sunglasses. My friend and I thought the guy looked a lot like Candy so we moved closer. Then we heard that famous booming laugh! We mustered up the courage to approach him hearing his voice just confirmed what we already knew! We shook his hand and told him that were big fans. I’ll never forget he took off his sunglasses and looked into our eyes and sincerely said, “I really appreciate that guys.” He asked us if we were having a good time today. We said sure cold beer, a sunny beach and beautiful women, what’s not to love! He laughed and said, “Yeah, this is a quite the spot.” We said our goodbyes and he told us to have a great day. Not good, GREAT! My friend and I still talk about meeting him especially when we’re at that beach. We didn’t know at the time he was filming “Summer Rental”! The guys were probably some of the crew? Anyway, what a Great guy! Gone WAY to soon! Candy made A LOT of Funny Movies, but one of my favorites that’s often overlooked is Who’s Harry Crumb?

@@standardofexcellence "A Game of Pool" - Twilight Zone Season 3 Episode 5 - Oct 13, 1961 - with Jack Klugman and Jonathan Winters as 'Fats'. There have been lots of stories about a pool hustler named "Fats" based on the "Minnesota Fats" character in the 1959 novel 'The Hustler' by Walter Tevis. "New York Fats" (Rudolf Wanderone) claims the book was based on him, and later went by '"Minnesota Fats" after he played in the film "The Player" in 1971. The book's author denies the book was about Wanderone. Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason played in the original movie of 'The Hustler', released on September 25, 1961, less than a month before the TZ episode aired. It's not clear if the productions knew about each other, or if both just came directly from the book.

On Saturday I got there early so I could be right in front. When he asked for a volunteer player he picked me right away. He let me break and said, “You better sink one on the break kid, or you won’t get another chance!” I sunk a ball on the break and ran about 4 or 5 balls before I missed a bank shot. Fats then proceeded to run the table, mostly only using one hand on the cue. When he sank the 8 ball he deliberately put follow on the cueball so he would scratch and let me win. He did that on every game he played with us mere mortals.

The tension over who was going to win this match-up was unbearable. Gleason and Newman would have gotten a big kick out of this.

The thing is, John Candy could likely have played Minnesota Fats seriously and really pulled it off. He proved his ability to tackle a dramatic role in Oliver Stone's JFK and he did that largely after Maureen O'Hara gently pushed him in that direction with some advice during production of Only The Lonely. SHE saw his quality as an actor and a human being right off the bat.

Comedians can often make the best actors because they have such expertise at hiding their own personality and emotions to play characters that it's a natural transition.

Met Minnesota Fats in Nashville one night (years ago). I asked for his autograph • he didn't use a pen (he had a stamp). So I said, Can l have a few more, and he did.

I have his stamp on a napkin that says The Nashville Palace. His girlfriend did the stamping. I have a photo of them with the napkin in front of them.

Just did a little research & according to Wiki Rudolph Wanderone aka 'New York Fats' changed his name to Minnesota after 'The Hustler' came out; crazy world! Didn't think he lived till '96 ( was 83) but guess it was fun to meet him, tho..

What a brilliant comedic talent and concept carried out to perfection. I was laughing out loud the whole time even with the video quality being terrible. I started watching John Candy back in the late 70's on SCTV. Not sure if this was a skit from the show but it looked like it could have been. I don't remember if Kevin Kline was ever on it.

Of course the video was altered to make it look like an aged print of the original ‘The Hustler’ movie.
