Bob and Doug McKenzie in Dave Thomas and Martin Short on Comedy Close Up with David Steinberg

In the video Dave Thomas and Martin Short on Comedy Close Up with David Steinberg, Bob and Doug McKenzie are a pair of imaginaryfunny Canadian siblings who created “Great White North”, a ad lib skit which was shown on SCTV – second city television for the show’s most liked season when it aired by CBC Television in the year 1980. Bob’s character is created by actor Rick Moranis and Doug’s character is acted by Dave Thomas. Regardless the fact it was brought to life originally as an idea to both follow guidelines and mock annoying Canadian content legislation, the two grew up to be a pop culture phenomenon in both Canada and the States. The pair went on to become the focus of a hit comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
