Catherine O'Hara as Lola Heatherton in "Way to Go Woman!" dressed in a
sequined nun's habit, singing that bastard version of Steve Miller's
"The Joker," while Andrea Martin as Sister Theresa hoes away in the

memorable moments, a lot of it depends on what you remember seeing last.
Anyhoo...
Eugene Levy--Bittman appearances on the Maudlin show, and every Earl
Camembert appearance.
John Candy-- Johnny LaRue in the Christmas ep. "Street Beef"
Martin Short--kid actor Rusty from "Stars in One"
Andrea Martin-- Mojo the maid in "Days of the Week"
Catherine O' Hara-- "Hi-Q" contestant...Margaret Meehan? Always buzzing in
before the question...
Rick Moranis-- Gerry Todd pieces (people who work in radio can always find
some extra humor in that bit...)
Dave Thomas-- Play it Again Bob and "Dialing for Dollars" with Walter
Cronkite
Joe Flaherty-- Guy Cabellero...always a riot. For some reason the "Sweeps
Week" thing as Gavin McLeod jumps out at me. That's such an odd little
thing, but like so many SCTV pieces it was brilliantly played and hard to
forget!
I recently looked at an "early years" piece showing the outtakes of a
Cornabix commercial..John and Joe were both hilarious in that as pro hockey
players ("I use a Gee Lafleur hockey stick. Hey Gee-how 'bout some
Cornabix?" God that's funny...even with a Pepsi-Cola reference that I have
never been able to figure out.)

Bittman definitely. The best is when he's practically on his knees

Pepsi is a rather derogatory term for a French Canadian. Could be due to
Pepsi consumption, though I have never heard a good explanation that goes
beyond'I heard that...'
Oddly enough, the further east you drive in Canada, the more Pepsi signs you
see. Here in NL most folks drink Pepsi for example, rather than Coke.

I got this from http://www.icomm.ca/emily/
Pepsi, pepper
Derogatory terms for a Quebecer, used probably because of the great popularity
of Pepsi Cola in that province. Evidently Pepsi was much cheaper than Coke at
one point, and the Quebecers never stopped drinking it.

I guess no one can really fully appreciate Hi-Q if they haven't seen
Reach for the Top. I tried to explain it to my (American) husband but

I agree, Reach For The Top was a common staple at my house. Kind of hard to
explain to an outsider. Hi-Q pretty much sums it up.

Years ago, Allen Ludden hosted 'G.E. College Bowl', which was sort of
the same thing.
Jim
Bruce
3CP1 episode where he and Moranis had to fly their converted ambulance
into outer space. A quote I frequently use is "if you shoot a Russkie
on just the right angle you can blow his head CLEAN off!"
As for Hi-Q, it was good "Disconnect his buzzer", but Half Wits was
even funnier with no Reach for the Top knowledge necessary.
"Housewife and hopefully mother Alex" - the funniest thing Andrea
Martin ever said.
Lulu
Not to mention the fact that I think most if not all states in the US
had some sort of college or high school quiz show on local TV. The one
in Indianapolis (where I grew up) was "Brain Game," hosted by channel 13
weatherman Bob Gregory.

in "My Factory, My Self" ... there was something profound about that.
Joe's Rocco was awesome also. I think the best bet for an SCTV
Spinoff would have been "Rocco". His Jack Klugman impersonation was
also humorous to an extreme.
Dave Thomas - my other favorite cast member ... gotta go with his Doug
McKenzie. Some of Bill Needle's shows were funny to an extreme also -
"Starting Out With Bill Needle" and "Shoot for the Stars".
Eugene Levy - for me, it has to be the two "Max Lansky" call-in shows
during the Cinemax season. His Jack Carter impersonation was
hilarious to an extreme.
Catherine O'Hara - Lola Heatherton in the episode with her "Bouncin'
Back to You" show. You can see in that episode that she really does
have the best acting chops in the ensemble ... awesome performance,
beyond comedy.
John Candy - Johnny LaRue, particularly in the masterful "Dining With

Rick Moranis - got to go with Larry Siegel.
Andrea Martin - Her Linda Lavin was perfect.

Tony Rosato - this guy did the ultimate Lou Costello.

Just to make a note, our "It's Academic" show in Cleveland was also known
at some point as "Academic Challenge." In fact, I think that's what it was
called back when I was in high school.

Those shows are as much about meta memory (knowing the contents of your own
memory) as they are about knowledge. In my experience anyway. I was
(blowing my own horn) the guy on my team that answered about 50% of the
questions. In my case I would buzz knowing that I knew the answer, or that
I had a good guess, without actually having the answer present.
So, when the host asked 'What German general...' I knew that I would know
that one, waiting for a bit more info 'was the first SS...'
BUZZ
"Dave Brodbeck, South?"
Think for maybe half second
'Sepp Dietrich?'
Correct.
See being a WWII geek, I knew the first german SS general to command a
panzer army was Dietrich (a good trivia question). Now, at the time I did
not have his name ready, but I knew that I knew the answer.
Now, I did answer all my WWII questions that day in a German accent and we
did go into time killing mode, with m friend Brent and I putting on Margaret
Meehan voices. I distinctly remember Brent saying 'Spain' in a Meehan
voice. I said 'San Francisco' that way (these responses had nothing to do
with the Qs but they killed time and we were ahead). Best part of that was
Brent putting on his Dithers voice, covering the mic and saying 'San
Fransiske, did you drown en did you flew?'

John Candy- Johnny LaRue, of course, but William B. is right up there.

should.
Joe Flaherty- I just love Count Floyd. It's so...so....scary.
Dave Thomas- Lin Ye Tang....."Is this box, in fact, hell?"
Rick Moranis-Merv..."We'll be right back"

and must also note that while so many performances by these masters will be
emblazoned in our minds as the classics they are, there is other equally
amazing material that slips under the radar and is more likely to be
forgotten in the haste to bring compilation material into a marketplace.
My choices for favorite performances seeks to honor those otherwise unsung
yet majestic moments from our great SCTV leaders:
John Candy, Cognac.
Martin Short, Brad Allen
Dave Thomas, Bill Needle
Andrea Martin, Libby Wolfson
Joe Flaherty, Sammy Maudlin
Catherine O'Hara, Dusty Towne
Eugene Levy, Sandler (or was it the other guy?), also from the "South Seas
Sinner" bit with John Candy as Cognac
Rick Moranis, Larry Siegel
I'm limiting myself to one pick for each, which was both difficult and
painful.
Thanks, all!
