Bob and Doug McKenzie in KPCS: Dave Thomas #103
In the video KPCS: Dave Thomas #103, Bob and Doug McKenzie are a group of made up Canadian comedians who can been seen in “Great White North”, a skit which was broadcast on SCTV – second city television for the show’s most watched season when it aired by the Canadian Broadcasting Channel in the year 1980. Bob is acted by actor Rick Moranis and Doug is performed by comic Dave Thomas. Although born originally as fluff to both satisfy and makes jokes about annoying Canadian content policies, the pair turned into a pop culture success in both Canada and the USA. The McKenzie brothers later became the focus of a famous comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.

Pure gold
I’m frightened to admit to anyone just how many times I’ve watched Strange Brew. Thank you Dave.
23 minute intro? Not even Bob Hope ever got that…
Talking about the sci-fi spoof movie opening of Strange Brew, to this day I think when Dave's character tells Rick's character "Act. Act!" as direction with the camera rolling is the funniest thing ever.
I see that Ivan Reitman passed away February 12, 2022. Interesting I didn't hear about it until 4 months later and that's no doubt because poor old Ivan had been culturally dead for a long time because he hadn't done anything for 25 years. PS, Joe Flaherty was the glue who held SCTV together and deserved a bigger career, it's odd to me that it didn't happen, guess Joe didn't market himself very hard.
They accidentally predict the ending of Mad Men in this.
I wish he did the whole interview in a Scottish accent
My dad owned a '56 Caddy …baby blue …used to sit in our driveway on Center Street …I remember looking at that front grill, at 11 years old …Dave is quite talented, and funny
:)))
This was terrific—thank you, Kevin.
Dave Thomas' Bob Hope impression si the ONLY one that matters. Rich Little did a Hope impression but it was horrible; Thomas' was immaculate complete with the walk and head tilt.
lived in same town as Dave in Ontario and played in band with his brother Ian in mid sixties
I love Dave and I respect his attitude that entertainment shouldn't be an issue of nationalism/flag-waving — and that all Canadian bleachers face the border. But you'll notice that Great White North was a bit that Thomas and Moranis did when they were their most relaxed, on their own, had a few beer and some back bacon — and produced something truly authentic and lasting. And okay, "nobody in Canada gives a shit about Canadian culture except a few people in Ottawa." But he talks about getting the call from Winnipeg and there are thousand people cheering for them at the airport — and in a country where there is no graffiti (there is but that's not the point) Winnipeggers have risked being busted by the Mounties to express "Take off, eh!" My understanding is that Strange Brew did much better in Canada than any market in the states. When the city of Edmonton wanted to pay tribute to "a really uniquely Edmonton thing that became a Canadian hallmark" the artist erected a statue of Bob and Doug McKenzie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNyVyuVtick There is no Canadian Content law in comedy as Kevin seems to believe. There was pressure from the CBC to fill the extra two minutes with something identifiably Canadian, yes, but not mandated by law as radio stations once were to play Canadian musicians like Dave's brother Ian Thomas. I think most of us Canucks, and more than a few other people around the world, are in this case a little grateful for the pressure.
You can hear bob hope in there voices after they've stopped doing the impression.
it always seemed to me that SCTV wasn't trying to do an exact copy it was more of vibe..like Aykroyd dong Carter
Ricky Gervais, oh he was so good at the Golden Globes; bring back Craig Ferguson ! Kevin should interview the "Great White North" co-star, Rick Moranis ("Strange Brew," "Ghostbusters"), if it is (humanly) possible. If not, that's okay. My second choice would be Eugene Levy. Film director: Judd Apatow; Dave Chapelle; maybe these former adult film entertainers: Nina Hartley, Vanessa Del Rio, Annie Sprinkle and Ron Jeremy.
Dave Thomas, the Actor/Comic, is not the same guy that is the CEO for the Wendy's fast-food restaurant chain. Different Countries of Origin (Canada & America/the U.S.); Different Lines of Work (acting/fast food).
Self-effacing , inventive , trench warrior comedic writer and performer. Used to watch Grace Under Fire just to see him. Enjoy the part about learning comedy history and the bit about , " Frank Gorshin's act is all dead people ."
Dave Thomas can tell stories all night long and each and every one is fantastic to hear! Loved the show Kevin!
Get Judd Apatow on.
bowflex probably dropped a few dozen thou on this, and it's only just now cracking the same number of views a decade later
Kevin Pollack loves to talk about Kevin Pollack.
Dave Thomas Looks Old But He’s one of the Best Actors and Comedian He’s from the the great white north
What a hottie
Great interview. Might want to skip the 25 minute opening.
They're all awful, but this one's worse than usual. Never knew Dave's life history: amazing guy.
Always loved Daves comedy but honestly his burgers and frosties need work.
Such a funny guy, Dave is a legend!
Kev spoiling Mad Men for himself.
I'd love to see him interview Rick Moranis (that is if he can get him).
Dave Thomas as Bob Hope is scary uncanny
Terrific interview. Never knew Dave was so weaved into all the big names in Hollywood. And so many great stories.
okay send me a link immediately to the Burt Lancaster slam bam poetry.
Great interview! I love hearing these stories about SCTV's struggles and success.
Christian Bale does not have a Welsh accent.
