Bob and Doug McKenzie in Dave Thomas

In the video Dave Thomas, Bob and Doug McKenzie are two of strange Canadian family members who created “Great White North”, a improv which was televised on SCTV – second city television for the show’s 3rd season when it aired by CBC Television in in the early 80s. Bob is created by comic Rick Moranis and Doug McKenzie is brought to life by actor Dave Thomas. The bit was made originally as filler to both please and laugh about annoying Canadian content guidelines, the pair morphed into a pop culture success in both Canada and the US. The two later became the focus of a huge comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
