Bob and Doug McKenzie in SCTV 1 – 13 Ben Hur

In the video SCTV 1 – 13 Ben Hur, Bob and Doug McKenzie are a couple of odd Canadian actors who hosted “Great White North”, a skit which was introduced on second city television for the show’s most liked season when it got sent to the Canadian Broadcasting Channel in the 80’s. Bob’s character is performed by actor Rick Moranis and Doug’s character is brought to life by actor Dave Thomas. Which was made originally as a skit to both satisfy and make fun of non sensical Canadian content statutes, the characters turned into a pop culture phenomenon in both Canada and the US. The characters soon became the focus of a an amazing comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
