Bob and Doug McKenzie in Winning The Race of a Lifetime | The Story of Dave Thomas (60 seconds)

In the video Winning The Race of a Lifetime | The Story of Dave Thomas (60 seconds), Bob and Doug McKenzie are a pair of hysterical Canadian brothers who hosted “Great White North”, a improv which was included on second city television for the show’s third season when it was broadcast on CBC Television in the eighties. Bob McKenzie is performed by the funny Rick Moranis and Doug’s character is brought to life by the comedian Dave Thomas. The bit was made originally as a sketch to both please and laugh about network Canadian content laws, the two became a pop culture sensation in both Canada and the United States. The pair went on to become the focus of a huge comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
