Bob and Doug McKenzie in SCTV – Gordon Lightfoot Sings Every Song Ever Written

In the video SCTV – Gordon Lightfoot Sings Every Song Ever Written, Bob and Doug McKenzie are a pair of fictional Canadian family members who starred in “Great White North”, a sketch which was introduced on SCTV for the show’s most watched season when it moved to the Canadian Broadcasting Channel in the eighties. Bob’s character is acted by actor Rick Moranis and the character Doug is created by the comedian Dave Thomas. Although born originally as filler to both please and laugh about annoying Canadian content demands, the characters transformed into a pop culture phenomenon in both Canada and the United States. The McKenzie siblings soon became the focus of a classic comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
