Thank you for sharing this delightful conversation. Not only do I continue to hope for the SCTV documentary to be eventually released, but for the DVD release of all the remaining episodes.
The way him and Eugene could play off each other was beyond comedy classic SCTV News out ranks most of the SNL Weekend Update hosts only slightly beat by Norm Macdonald
Audience member asking question at the 40 minute mark is Max Allan Collins -- some years later to collaborate on a science fiction/crime novel with Dave Thomas!
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for excusing the camera angle. 😊 I hoped Second City would release a proper version of this to make my stealth capture unnecessary, but after a dozen years I felt it was better to share it, even with its limitations. I got to shake Harold’s hand and say a few words to him at the after party. Seemed a lovely man.
As a lifelong SCTV fanatic, going back to the Global TV in Toronto beginnings, this is really historical stuff, especially since Harold has left us in the ensuing years. It is deeply disappointing, at best, that a reunion of these immensely talented/influential artists was filmed/posted like it was done in the Bat Cave. Were there no other cameras there, or was this filmed without permission? Truly a shame, given the content and legendary participants.
I believe it was being filmed by large cameras at the back of the room but as far as I know was never made available, hence posting my bat cave version for fans who’d otherwise never get to see this cool moment. Near impossible to capture everyone from the lip of the stage without being caught so while flawed, I tend to think of this in the “be thankful we have this at all” category.
@@etherialfilms Understood. And yes, we should be grateful there's any record of it. Just disappoints me whenever I see this, my all time favorite tv show, in less than the stellar prominence it deserves. And while we're at it...Shame on Scorsese for not releasing the 2018 doc he directed before Joe Flaherty's passing. Thanks for posting this.
13:50. What Dave Thomas said wasn't really true, at least as the show went on. The Tubes and The Plasmatics were on "The Fishin' Musician" with John Candy but other celebrities like Levon Helm, Roy Orbison, Devo, Ian Thomas, Natalie Cole, The Boomtown Rats, Carl Perkins, John Cougar, etc also appeared. It was always shocking to see such huge stars though because Caballero was such a chiseler.
It's been great to see her on "Only Murders in the Building" as Steve Martin's girlfriend (though the role doesn't give her a chance to show her wilder side).
I'm glad it's here and that they all showed up except for Moranis, but you're right. This is the worst camera angle for a panel interview I've ever seen.
It says in the description it was done in 2009, without a smartphone and had to be stealthy about it. As someone who wasn't alive when this aired (I discovered it during the pandemic), I'm just glad it exists 🤷🏻♀️
@@MsStealYourDadAndMom Why wouldn't the SCTV want this to be aired? That's strange, but like you, I'm really glad that it's here and I still enjoyed it.
@@DUCKSAREEVILLLLLLLL maybe the guy was worried about some sort of copyright? I honestly have no idea. I know some places forbid recording certain events, so that might be the situation as well. I'm just glad I've discovered these people, they pulled me out of a serious funk 😂

Geniuses. RIP Joe Flaherty. A comedy legend.
So painful to know that I'll never get to snuggle with him in a loving embrace. 😥 It would've been heaven.

Guy Caballero and Rocko will be missed.

Ian Thomas is also a published author of two books that I know of, Bequest was his first and then The Red Chord.
So great to hear these stories! Thanks for capturing this and sharing it.
This is wonderful. I wish I were there for the show back in 2009.
This is pure gold. Too bad the camera angle isn't so great.
Ya think?
Thank you.
I am tearing up right now.
Grew up with SCTV…set my sleep pattern into adulthood.
This was great. It was especially nice to see a few seconds of Harold Ramis. Thank you for posting, and no complaints about the camera angle.

Wow was not expecting Harold Ramis in this!

Ian Thomas is his brother, so he's probably aware of that one.
@@noneofyourbusiness4616 Maybe he forgot?
It's too bad Rick Moranis doesn't show up to these things. Clay Collins turned on a lot of ladies with his great music, before he died at the altar.
Best comedy group ever. Sorry SNL and Marx Brothers.
It’s weird that Andrea Martin didn’t become more of a household name. She blew the rest of the cast out of the water in terms of raw talent
It's been great to see her on "Only Murders in the Building" as Steve Martin's girlfriend (though the role doesn't give her a chance to show her wilder side).
💔
Horrible camera work!!! Cutting off Eugene and Catherine!? How Disrespectful. Why even broadcast this?

@@MsStealYourDadAndMom OK. That makes sense. I obviously didn't read that. I'm still happy I was able to watch/listen to this.
