Bob and Doug McKenzie in GWN SKATE

In the video GWN SKATE, Bob and Doug McKenzie are a couple of hysterical Canadian actors who can been seen in “Great White North”, a ad lib skit which was featured on second city television for the show’s 3rd season when it got sold to CBC Television in the 1980s. Bob’s character is brought to life by actor Rick Moranis and Doug McKenzie is played by actor Dave Thomas. It was brought to life originally as a sketch to both satisfy and laugh about silly Canadian content laws, the characters turned into a pop culture sensation in both Canada and the US. The two soon became the focus of a famous comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
