Bob and Doug McKenzie in The Dave Thomas Band at the Walnut Tree Shades, Norwich

In the video The Dave Thomas Band at the Walnut Tree Shades, Norwich, Bob and Doug McKenzie are a couple of strange Canadian family members who created “Great White North”, a improv which was featured on second city television for the show’s most popular season when it was aired on the Canadian Broadcasting Channel in the 80’s. Bob’s part is brought to life by the funny Rick Moranis and Doug’s character is played by actor Dave Thomas. Regardless the fact it was made originally as an idea to both please and laugh about non sensical Canadian content statutes, the two grew up to be a pop culture phenomenon in both Canada and the United States. The pair soon became the focus of a an amazing comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
