In This Episode: SCTV — City of Sketch Comedy Legends
Halloween is over (cue Cherie's dramatic mourning 🎃💔), but there’s still plenty to laugh about — especially when we’re talking SCTV! Michelle and Cherie take a nostalgic and slightly chaotic trip back to the Canadian sketch-comedy show that gave us legends like John Candy, Catherine O’Hara, Eugene Levy, Rick Moranis, and Harold Ramis.

We dive into:

  • How SCTV became the sleeper hit of late-night U.S. TV
  • The McKenzie Brothers — from filler segment to massive phenomenon (“Take off, eh?”)
  • Why Harold Ramis was everywhere… except the episodes Michelle remembers 🤷‍♀️
  • The surprising A-list guest stars (Tony Bennett?! Carol Burnett?! Robin Williams?!)
  • Bold claims like: Was SCTV pound-for-pound funnier than SNL? (Don’t @ us)

Plus: which cast members launched Hollywood empires… and who lent their voices to a couple of Canadian moose in a Disney movie. 🫎🫎

If you love comedy, nostalgia, and sisters who tease each other relentlessly, this one's for you.
