I think you might have linked the wrong video I just see an ad

 

Could always be depended to deliver a message even 50 years in the future.

I cleaned it up. That's what happens when you post from your phone with a lousy connection.

He reprised his role of Count Floyd for Rush's Grace Under Pressure tour (1984) and introduced the song, The Weapon

 

Damn I forgot the Rush connection - that's the only tour that I saw them live. Pretty scary stuff, eh kids?

 

RIP

I really enjoyed SCTV for many years.

 

Joe played a lot of great characters.

 

The Shmenge Brothers was a favorite, but it was Eugene Levy playing polkas with John Candy. Each brother pronounced Shmenge in a different way.

SCTV's parody of 'Goin' Down the Road'.  Jayne Eastwood reprises her role from the original movie.

Further to this, I passed by some reading last week that revealed Flaherty was actually Jayne Eastwood's brother in law.  When I first met 'Bride the Second', Ms. Eastwood lived in the same Hamilton Ontario suburb, and was often seen shopping at the grocery store on Wilson St.  Her husband was researcher and screenwriter David Flaherty, Joe's younger brother.
