Bob and Doug McKenzie in The Best and Worst Christmas Songs – “Rock History Music” with John Beaudin & Shannon Edwards

In the video The Best and Worst Christmas Songs – “Rock History Music” with John Beaudin & Shannon Edwards, Bob and Doug McKenzie are a couple of made up Canadian actors who are responsible for “Great White North”, a improv which was introduced on SCTV for the show’s most popular season when it aired by the Canadian Broadcasting Channel in 1980. Bob’s character is brought to life by Rick Moranis and Doug’s part is performed by comic Dave Thomas. Even thoughFamously made originally as a skit to both satisfy and mock dumb Canadian content laws, the duo grew up to be a pop culture hit in both Canada and the US. The two later became the focus of a huge comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
