A portion of the Solid Gold Telethon episode of SCTV (Season 2, Episode 4 – originally aired October 7, 1978).

None of the original episodes from Seasons 1-4 (before they went to NBC) have ever been released on any home video format (which is why the quality is so bad – I tried to clean it up the best that I could).

It was impossible to find a decent copy of this clip (or the rest of the episode) for a long time… so enjoy this masterpiece of almost-forgotten Canadian comedy.
