Anyone know which episode John Candy did the part of Magnum PEI? Thought my dad was going to pass out from laughing so hard.
Here you go. It's at the 28 second spot. Just another example of the brilliance of John Candy. Like your dad I bust up laughing at this too, since I also like "Magnum PI".
SCTV also had musicians on the show and had some really good songs I like. Here's a clip with Dave Thomas as Walter Cronkite and Rick Moranis as David Brinkley. I really like "Someday Someway" by Robert Gordon.
Maudlin's Eleven part 2. As a commentator from Youtube mentions the Harmonica Gang at 7:14 is awesome. I think they deserved an award for their acting performance. It's awesome!
John Candy wearing a shark's head and playing the "Jaws" theme song is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. In my opinion there should be a national holiday for John Candy. Here's to John Candy. My oldest song was watching this episode on DVD tonight, so it reminded me of how awesome it is! Also, you can see the brilliance of John Candy when as Mayor Tommy Shanks he says "Ich bin ein Melonviller". John Candy rules!
The video is embedded so I can't link it, but if you're an "SCTV" fan click the link below as it is classic SCTV!
