Eugene Levy and Martin Short are both from Hamilton Ontario Canada. Westdale Secondary and McMaster University grads. HEROES!!

Dave Thomas is from nearby Dundas Ontario.

There are even more Canadian comedians than Canadians.

​@bobezzard7669 That makes utterly zero sense. 🤣🤣

Joe Flaherty is from Pittsburgh.

This was what, 20 years before Ferrell on SNL?

@이낸시 more like 40 years ago.

Between Levy & Ferrell, Gotta agree with Trebek. Levy captured his speech & mannerisms well.

@@PhilMante Eugene Levy is the best 👍🏻 he's funny. His gene shalit impression is right on the money 😂

He's dead now

RIP joe flarity

Denty One Look up Ed Grimley, another great Martin Short character, not smart but sweet!

My favorite is Jiminy Glick.

According to a recent poll, Lawrence Orbach was voted the sexiest man in history

Lawrence Orbach was a regular dancer on Mel's Rock Pile.

I admire the fact he had certain goals in life he felt compelled to achieve.

Hahahahaha.. omg it is

CRS 😂

@FAB4 congratulations! you're a jackass. 1) you don't know what fascist means 2) we're a republic of self-governing states with checks and balances, not a mob rule popular vote democracy.

@FAB4 problem is they have guns

CRS brought all the Trolls to the yard BRAVO

😂

I like his square hamburgers.

Richard Fuller he was always kind of the straight man although he could be just as crazy as the others.

@@steveleeart I think one of the first SCTV bits I saw, he did this bit here, a gameshow with about six contestants. O'Hara kept guessing wrong answers, Candy insisted he wasn't hitting the buzzer, Moranis said he could run and get some tools to fix Candy's buzzer, Martin kept having stagefright with her non-English speaking husband. Seems there were two more, but can't recall them right now. The whole thing hinged on Levy starting out calmly and by the end was a screaming lunatic. It was hilarious. Then he'd do a Dick Clark on American Bandstand bit, I gather, where he was a total dweeb, and they showed a 'clip' of him from when he first started out in black-and-white and he was an even bigger dweeb of a different era. I think the next bit I saw that I recall, he was Igor, but with a deep voice and whoever else was there was commenting and all, then said smething about 'that smell' and they looked at him and he simply said, 'must be the chili'. He was so much funnier to me than Candy, Thomas, O'Hara (even tho she was funny in that game show bit), Moranis, Short (who I never found hysterical), or anything anybody else did. Andrea Martin was okay, but sort of in a Ruth Buzzi, Laugh-In kind of way, which can work, but his shtick just seemed so much better. He was like a much better Gabe Kaplan, who would just be too loud most of the time.

He's the blue cheese stuffed cocktail olive to a perfectly shaken martini.

Check out the clips of him playing Howard Cosell and Perry Como.

i wonder that too. But I bet a lot of people that watched SCTV also saw the Godfather movies. It always cracks me up.

Johnny Olsen was the regular announcer on many gameshows. Blanche Rae Kellogg was a tribute to Ray Kellogg , a special effects artist and producer/director of films.

aka 'schnertz' ;^)

@@DobbyKnits is that what it's called??😊🤣🤣🤣👍🏼💟

A feeling so bad, the invented a word for it lol. One tip, the one with ginger ale, is THE worst.

Me too! Love the theme!

yes you do

That character cracks me up that said that.

@@gregbernard7861 John Hemphill - he also played Happy Marsden on SCTV.

6:36 "How are you spelling flower/flour?"

Just the body language and way he said that made me laugh harder than I've laughed in years,

lol

We should be. SNL guys are losers!

I echo your comment!

Half Wits is a much funnier recurring sketch, though it doesn't have Turd Ferguson.

He nearly strangled Joe Flaherty's Arthur character.

I had to rewind to have a look - it's a brilliant touch!

"Trying".

Perfect teen star.

Now I wonder what happened in 1711. I don't remember anything around that year!

Hey, I used to watch that on The Comedy Network as a kid, man! I had an adorable sense of humour when I went home from school watchin SCTV on The Comedy Network! I loved Eugene Levy's black hair in this skit.

That commercial with Dave Thomas is now startingly relevant with the COVID pandemic. I’d love to see Thomas in some contemporary comedy.

It means “deducted.”

I don't know why it's so damn funny, but that part with Short as "Lawrence" is always hilarious

@@egreenbery "Lawrence, why the hell are you cheering?!?"

I watched these when they first aired in the early 1980's on NBC, and this stuff is still so funny. Brilliant writing.

Google does have a definition for it... adjective 1. (especially of evidence in court) not accepted as valid. 2. not to be allowed or tolerated. "an inadmissible interference in the affairs of the Church" "DOGS MAKE 'EM!"

I think it means to deduct.

@@ChristopherSobieniak That's what I think.

@@PatFrenchLeafsFan1 Thanks!

Classic!

Norm McDonald went to Eugene Levy to ask if he was okay with SNL doing their own Alex Trebek sketches based on his portrayal.

I do too. Sir.

Puppies?

"It's totally inadmissible! We can't show that to our viewers at home!"

Link?

Speak for yourself.

In 2021 Idiocracy these folks are geniuses.

Ola

Better than a version I saw a while back from a Cinemax airing but with poor reception.

@@ChristopherSobieniak I know, but I remember seeing the one on what is now CTV Comedy. I loved it as a kid. Thanks for the comment. I'm looking for the one with the old Comedy Network logo on the screen.

I remember when this aired circa 1984.

You.
