Bob and Doug McKenzie in SCTV – Steve Roman – It’s in the kurds

In the video SCTV – Steve Roman – It’s in the kurds, Bob and Doug McKenzie are a group of odd Canadian family members who starred in “Great White North”, a sketch which was included on second city television for the show’s 3rd season when it was aired on the Canadian Broadcasting Channel in in the early 80s. The character Bob McKenzie is played by comic Rick Moranis and Doug is performed by the comedian Dave Thomas. Although born originally as an idea to both satisfy and laugh about silly Canadian content legislation, the two became a pop culture hit in both Canada and across the border. The characters became the focus of a hit comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
