Bob and Doug McKenzie in Ted Turner’s new improved 12 days of Christmas

In the video Ted Turner’s new improved 12 days of Christmas, Bob and Doug McKenzie are a couple of imaginaryfunny Canadian actors who starred in “Great White North”, a program which was introduced on SCTV for the show’s most popular season when it moved to CBC Television in 1980. Bob’s part is created by hilarious comedian Rick Moranis and Doug’s part is performed by Dave Thomas. The sketch was brought to life originally as filler to both satisfy and laugh about annoying Canadian content policies, the two turned into a pop culture success in both Canada and across the border. The McKenzie siblings became the focus of a famous comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
