• Brian Linehan was notoriously well researched. Without fail, at some point in the interview, the subject would lament, "Wow, you've really done your homework". His cred brought the biggest stars to CityTV,. At first, a dinky little studio (originally a UHF station!), on Queen East and then, the Gothic castle on Queen West, (Humble brag I know the guy that got the truck smashing through the wall deal done).
  I didn't work directly with Brian Linehan, but he carried himself around the offices like a true gentleman.

• "I tell ya something - I was out with Crosby's dad EVERY DAY and he never beat me once."
  Absolute brilliance.

• Gil Gerard as Jesus always killed me, LOL!

• This show was head and shoulders above everything when it was on. Maybe SNL briefly matched it for a few seasons in its heyday. Even in all the decades this show has been off little has been aired that can even match this one skit. Bobby Bittman use to kill it on the Sammy Maudlin Show.

• Martin Short is a parody inside a parody.

• Love SCTV the best sketch phone ever. The best. Group of nut balls on this show

• What a great scene, and Bob Hope certainly summed up the French !!!!

  LOL !!!

• “The funny version of the greatest story ever told.” Good Lord, so to speak.

• I can't believe how great Dave Thomas was as Bob Hope!

• Dave Thomas didn't make the cinematic "splash" as the usual suspects did but he should always be remembered as a fine mimic and a wonderful complimentary player.
