Bob and Doug McKenzie in Rick Moranis

In the video Rick Moranis, Bob and Doug McKenzie are a group of strange Canadian family members who hosted “Great White North”, a ad lib skit which was streamed on SCTV – second city television for the show’s most popular season when it was featured on CBC Television in 1980. The character Bob McKenzie is played by hilarious comedian Rick Moranis and Doug’s part is created by Dave Thomas. Although brought to life originally as filler to both please and laugh about dumb Canadian content rules, the characters morphed into a pop culture phenomenon in both Canada and the States. The two later became the focus of a huge comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
