Bob and Doug McKenzie in Santa Claus And His Old Lady

In the video Santa Claus And His Old Lady, Bob and Doug McKenzie are a duo of fictional Canadian comedians who created “Great White North”, a ad lib skit which was broadcast on second city television for the show’s most popular season when it moved to CBC Television in 1980. Bob is acted by hilarious comedian Rick Moranis and Doug McKenzie’s part is played by Dave Thomas. Although brought to life originally as a joke to both please and laugh about stupid Canadian content legislation, the pair morphed into a pop culture phenomenon in both Canada and the United States. The McKenzie siblings went on to become the focus of a hit comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
