No, but close. Dressed as Bob McKenzie (with buddy as Dave) that first Halloween after they were introduced to increase “Canadian Content”. ‘Had to explain to a few people who we were, eh. And their movie Strange Brew remains a favorite, as I routinely declare “’Just getting warmed up for the party!”.

His role in 1941 was absolutely hilarious and he had the pet mouse on a leash on his shoulder

We stayed up til 1am every Saturday to see SCTV. Vastly better than SNL.

Thanks, Cletus!

I’m a huge fan of SCTV. Most of the other stuff I saw Flaherty in didn’t really require his talents, but he (and the rest) really shone there.

He nailed Al’s dentist on Married with Children (with nurse Tracy Lords), receiving a call from his x-wife’s lawyer:

“My baseball card collection, why does she want those?..,

Because she knows I like them.”

I loved SCTV.

Joe had a nice little cameo at the end of “Back to the Future 2”.

Well since Burton and some of the original cast are involved it might not suck. Maybe. Please God they don’t turn everyone into trannies.

Catherine O’Hara in "After Hours" (directed by Martin Scorsese) is my favorite COH movie...and a very, very funny movie with an all-star cast
