Bob and Doug McKenzie in Rick Moranis is a Genius!
In the video Rick Moranis is a Genius!, Bob and Doug McKenzie are a pair of hysterical Canadian actors who starred in “Great White North”, a segment which was included on SCTV for the show’s most popular season when it was featured on CBC Television in the year 1980. Bob is created by comedian Rick Moranis and Doug’s part is created by the comedian Dave Thomas. Although brought to life originally as fluff to both please and laugh at network Canadian content rules, the two transformed into a pop culture smash hit in both Canada and the United States. The McKenzie siblings became the focus of a classic comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
From my very first TV show on the CBC in Canada, Rick Moranis improvised this character, an arrogant movie producer, and we (me, Rick, and the equally brilliant Ken Finkleman) created a style of comedy later popularized by Garry Shandling, Larry David, etc. without even knowing it.

“we’re gonna get them some br, some women…”
His inflection on "CCC" is greatness.
Brilliant. What a talent.
“I got a cat in the hospital that’s costing me 60 dollars a day, I can put him in the Hyatt for 50”
1:27 he says this in the movie Head Office!!!
Everything he did on SCTV was so great and really really funny. The Hollywood film business is too bland and lacking in originality to have been able to come up with anything that made use of his incredible talent. So thank God for SCTV.
Rick is a Moran is a Moran is a Moranis
Rick Moranis is the Canadian Albert Brooks that can play characters.
Lol wtf kind of character is playing. So funny man
I hear human voices. Do you? Could it be my aunt Glenda Elaine Sheppard old military platoon or her exam"s
How about Cathy lyles
Pure genius
Before being an ass was really cool
Very similar to Sol Fine (of Alpha Channel https://youtu.be/uCRfwWl8KAI?t=187).
"I got a cat in the hospital, costs me $60/day, I could put him in the Hyatt for $50!"
Comedy gold. I always felt that Rick Moranis was highly underrated and this video is proof of that. 🙂
Canada really does make the best comedians. That, and we've really nailed down the art of talking about the weather. 😉
The CFDC, the CRTC, the CCCC
Yeup – total genius – he stays in character the entire time and perfectly improvises – amazing, the straight "reporter" does her job perfectly too btw.
He is just awesome
I love Rick Moranis <333333333
Awesome. I agree…both Moranis and Finkelman are super talented!
Marry me Rick!
this is so eugene levy-ish, it's not even funny
Rick Moranis is SO multi-talented I don't know why he was always typecast in movies as the nerdy guy with glasses.
That's how you do good improv. 🙂 Shame he's retired. I hope he decides to come back some day.
This Is Spinal Tap (1984)
this clip (1979? really?)
Really interesting! I heard that Finkleman did improv with Moranis but I never knew anything was filmed. I'd be interested in hearing more about this era and if there is anything else available!
And "who" are you? This is absolutely great!
He reminds me of Rick James in this bit.
