I’m so happy he and Catherine won an Emmy this year

@@420greatestqueen I have never seen that show, but several people have recommended it to me.

One of the most versatile actors ever

Not underrated anymore!

Absolutely. For decades he has come up with hilarious characters, Earl has always been definitely one of my favorites. I don't think the comedy team of Levy and O'Hara gets near the appreciation they deserve. Those two good friends have made so many funny films, sketches, characters, etc together!

What were the skits where he read '60 second news' and tried to time the segment but always rushed or dragged it out?

The highlight of that Canadian city I'm sure.

I was wondering if there were any Edmonton shots, but you are correct. The skyline that's seen, as the van drives away, is definitely Edmonton, circa 1981.

@@msgfrmdaactionman3000Which city? If you're meaning Edmonton, I'd have to agree (I'm an Edmontonian, but not when this show was produced here).

Probably worth $2 million now

Smoking wasn't allowed on the TTC at this time as far as I know (early 1980s). (Edit: oops buddy is clearly smoking on the platform lol... maybe he was being sneaky, or, it was just banned in the cars themselves...)

@@lancasterII, smoking was banned on the TTC completely, IIRC.

@@Neville60001 There are NO SMOKING signs everywhere on TTC property in addition to thousands of cigarette butts.

@@lpquagmire3621, said butts were thrown away after they were put out before the persson using them entered the station.🙄

@@Neville60001 There's only one "s" in person. 😏

@mdo686 He probably back up and they reversed it.

@@gomerhodge Then the cars driving on the street behind him would have started driving backwards.

John Hemphill was basically a featured player the last 2 years of SCTV. He was Happy Marsden

​@@billtooke6642 ..Sitting at a bar with SOME KIND OF A FUNNY LOOKING BIRD that he would talk to...🍺🗣️💬🦤 ...And... THE FUNNY LOOKING BIRD would respond by just flapping it's beak with absolutely NO sound coming out except for when the top and the bottom beak touched...🦤 ...And... HM would then ask the bartender to turn on... **SIX GUN JUSTICE**...📺 ...And... The rest is history here indeed!!...😁🥰😍🤩😁😆😅😂 Ok now... I want to actually watch the skit here!!...👁️👁️📹😁🥰😍🤩😁😆😅😂🤣

@@billtooke6642 He was one of the writers

Include the costumer and wig/make-up folks who helped these talented players with their character transformations. Lb for Lb, the best comedy show ever imo.

Levy didnt even flinch

OMFG I didn't even notice that until you mentioned it 😂😂😂

So either Toronto was ahead of its time or Buffalo is way behind! Haha. ;)

I believe this is Edmonton

@@darreningleson1261 Not unless they moved the Toronto subway to Edmonton. ;) Been on the Bloor St. line many times myself.

Ripplin Its called “props”, Ripplin.😄 That factory in the background is by Queen Elizabeth Park in Edmonton by the North Saskatchewan River where is being outrun by the steadycam🤣

That was Mellonville.

Which ones?

I saw a few Honda GMCs.

You mean cars used by drug cartels?

Ahh yes, he was riding his bike westbound on Wellington!

The intro part is Edmonton

Back then, yes.

That would be $4.50 now.

@@frankgarrett9500 $4.50? LOL what part of Toronto do you live in brother?

For 24 HOURS. Jeesh, can barely get half an hour for that now.

Those were the days.

Wow! I think I’ll stay home from work today!

Ya, I wish the One on the Town logo could be made into a T-shirt.

He played a lot of bit parts on SCTV, his most well known character was Happy Marsden.

I think it is

and john was in schitt's creek as well

@@Humbersox Loved him as Bob!

Yes that’s him.

Find out where he lives and TP his house.

but maybe that's just it--Earl was despised by Floyd Robertson/crew on SCTV news-I'm sure they didn't mind putting him into dangerous situations LOL

Actually late '70s (disco music).

I drove in the eighties and cars didn't look this cool. Must have been early-mid 70s

This is no earlier than 1982, and I'm guessing is exactly 1982, as that's the year SCTV moved back to Toronto from Edmonton (if you notice, the video intro was shot in Edmonton.)

@@randyjames6991 Not early 70s. Saw some late 70s early 80s cars drive by.

He always pronounced it Earl Cannonbear. I'm sure I remember a sketch where Floyd Robertson is getting mad and yelling at him, and one of the things he was yelling at him is why doesn't he pronounce his own name properly.

1980's Toronto :)

@@sonicmoremusic1 Lot's of moving sidewalks there today, huh?

Yes, it was from Toronto, 90% foreign born.

@@TheBlueyedblond How are the moving sidewalks?

Earl wasn't only ahead of his time, but he was also ahead of our time.

The same guy's probably there

And cars everywhere in the city especially Toronto grrrr

1.50 move decimal point over one and double it

@mdo686 It might also be a true statement. I wouldn't know. I'm not from Canada.

@mdo686 Nothing racist. Just an observation. Population has changed, just like the landscape.

Yes...😁 ...And... I was wondering this exact same thing as you were!!...😳🤔💭 ...And... Since I do know a little bit about bgm in YT Vids here...😁🧑‍🎓🎓💡⚡🤯 In fact... I even checked the good ole description box just to see if the music that was played at the start of this vid was actually listed there...📝 ...And...

part of this video is edmonton I believe

@@Humbersox, how is that posible?

But other than those major changes, it hasn't changed at all! =)

No, he's driving a _similar_ model to the (P)ossum (V)an.

Not enough!

I remember the singles bar

Pretty much.

Probably 1982, as that's the year SCTV moved from Edmonton to Toronto. This skit is filmed in Toronto, but the intro had been filmed in Edmonton.

Eugene and his son Dan just announced that next season is the last season for Schitt's Creek. facebook.com/CBCSchittsCreek/photos/a.341197846082274/1089571454578239/?type=3&theater&ifg=1

@@foobarmaximus3506 Ya, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought so. Earl's son -- I mean Eugene's son should find another line of work.

Worse today except for very few neighbourhoods.

Running a clothing collection, or unemployed and on welfare.

He was living in 'Schitts creek' with his wife and 2 kids last time I heard.

Undoubtedly polishing his primetime Emmys and Pulitzer.

He's working behind the scenes at CNN.

Living with Earl, Jr. His clothing store failed, his wife left him for Floyd. He tried to get another job in the media, but he was unable to get hired, especially after the hit piece in the news about the toxic fabric in his clothes. Floyd helped this along. He tried to be Johnny’s assistant, but was too incompetent for that and ended up as the janitor at the competing TV station. To this day, “the incident” that occurred on his shift with the floor waxer is still discussed. Once again, Floyd exploded the story.

It would've been fine to film if they were out of the way, but they needed a filming permit once they had that ladder and tripod blocking the sidewalk and disrupting traffic.

@@WoefulMinion You can't block the sidewalk but that doesn't mean you need a permit to film. It's called the First Amendment.

Yep

Better than now beyond comparison and then some!

Expecially in 2024!

That's a good thing, not a bad thing.

@@Neville60001 Of course, Toronto is not Toronto without their cyclists. It is a good thing. I didn't know until Earl's story that it was an issue in Melonville.

No, they didn't.

I visited Toronto in the early 80s and don't remember smoking on the subway platforms, but then again, I was pretty wasted the whole time I was there. (Yeah, I had fun - I think.) But you saw people smoke on the subway platforms in NYC all the time. It's been against the rules for so long that when I see someone lighting up anyway, I am shocked.

uh, this show was a parody of American pop culture.

We have to pretend to be American?

@@vermeer5 actually I always thought it kind of blurred the line between Canadian and American culture...
