Why is Earl Camembert called "Canonbear"

[Charlie R]

Was this ever explained/discussed/documented?

I asked this awhile ago, and was told that Floyd asked him about it
once, on the air. He said that was just the way he pronounced it.
Apparently, they left it at that.

Well, in the context of the mention on SCTV news, I think the gag is, Earl's
too stupid to pronounce his own name correctly? Certainly in my home state,
which SCTV reminds me deeply of, mispronunciations of words by the majority
of the populace is the norm.
Most Pittsburgers call North Versailles "North Ver-sails". In Erie, it was
common to pronounce "bubba" as "boo-bah". Everything gets an "ie" at the
end: rollie coaster, santie claus...And a local grocer advertised "brussel's
prouts" for sale...

Just my observation...

Afterwards Earl signs off,. saying "that's the news".

Floyd then asks, "don't you mean the MEWS?"

Isn't that the actual way you pronounce the cheese "Camembert"?

This thread reminds me of Andrea Martin's Tawny Beaver character.

Come on!,you all remember the early "Earls",when he'd wear a pure white
jacket that would blind the camera,my fave is the day he wore a blue outfit
& the chromo-key "erased " him!,another first time classic.

That was all in the same newscast.

I would like to have a wav file
of Floyd yelling "Earl!" -- maybe
have a string of about twenty
of them from twenty different episodes. Would be a good
screen saver, with Earl's face.

Funny you should say that. I was trying to find a .wav file of Bobby Bitman
yelling "How are ya??!!!" No soap, I'm afraid. I must have watched the On
The Waterfront Again and congressional hearings sketches at least ten times,
and I still laugh every time. I love the way everyone is laughing when he
walks out even though there's nothing remotely funny going on. I don't know
if it says something about how good they are, or something about me.
