I've been looking for an episode of this show my parents described to me. They said it was an anniversary special that was about someone trying to ride a unicycle (I think) and then he sung a song that went like "Have you ever had one of those days, have you ever had one of those days, have you ever had one of those days, where everything goes wrong?" and it was really off pitch. We used to have it on cassette but we can't find the tape, would you know what I'm talking about and could point me in the right direction? I know it was on CBC Television probably either in the 80s or 90s. Thanks

+TOMYSSHADOW Plays Games There are some descriptions on the CBC website and I had a look and they did that song in 1966 and 1983 but also in black & white. And later on there was Wayne & Shuster International that was edited highlights, so it could have been in that too. Didn't really find anything about a unicycle. If you ever come across the tape, could you leave a message? Thanks!
