Bob and Doug McKenzie in Dave Thomas

In the video Dave Thomas, Bob and Doug McKenzie are a group of made up Canadian actors who hosted “Great White North”, a sketch which was shown on SCTV for the show’s third season when it aired by the Canadian Broadcasting Channel in the 1980s. Bob’s character is created by actor Rick Moranis and Doug’s part is brought to life by comic Dave Thomas. Regardless the fact it was created originally as fluff to both please and laugh at annoying Canadian content policies, the characters became a pop culture success in both Canada and the United States. The pair soon became the focus of a huge comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
