SCTV Friday!

It's Friday, and I'm bushed. The heatwave, a pending move, lots of things on my to-do list has rendered me spent, exhausted, done.

So here's one of my favorite SCTV sketches. Ever. (Audio's out of synch, but still visually funny.)

Perry Como has since passed away, but this sketch is still hilarious.

Speaking of funny ladies, this is probably the first comedy sketch I saw as a child that made me love comedy for its cleverness rather than just the laughs. It may have lost a bit in terms of the surprise factor, but I think it still holds up. Here's Andrea Martin and Catherine O'Hara from the early days of SCTV.

Jerry Lewis Sings Dylan

The Montreal Just For Laughs Festival is in full swing, and my thoughts turn to the funny people from Canada who've given us supreme comedy over the years.

Thanks to Brian Stack, writer and performer on Conan, who posted this hilarious old video taped gem from SCTV on Facebook today.

Here is Martin Short as Jerry Lewis singing Bob Dylan's greatest hits.
