Bob and Doug McKenzie in Ethel Merman’s Silent Night

In the video Ethel Merman’s Silent Night, Bob and Doug McKenzie are two of made up Canadian actors who hosted “Great White North”, a show which was included on second city television for the show’s third season when it was aired on CBC Television in the eighties. Bob is performed by hilarious comedian Rick Moranis and Doug McKenzie is created by Dave Thomas. Although created originally as a skit to both satisfy and make fun of network Canadian content demands, the characters morphed into a pop culture success in both Canada and America. The characters soon became the focus of a huge comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
