Bob and Doug McKenzie in Great White North New Year ~ “Memphis Style”

In the video Great White North New Year ~ “Memphis Style”, Bob and Doug McKenzie are two of odd Canadian brothers who hosted “Great White North”, a program which was included on SCTV – second city television for the show’s third season when it was featured on CBC Television in the 80’s. Bob’s character is played by comedian Rick Moranis and Doug McKenzie’s part is brought to life by Dave Thomas. Regardless the fact it was brought to life originally as filler to both follow guidelines and laugh at non sensical Canadian content rules, the characters grew up to be a pop culture success in both Canada and the United States. The McKenzie brothers soon became the focus of a huge comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
