Not enough SCTV skits out here, so I thought I would share a favorite of mine. The skit is "Half Wits" which originally aired on January 28, 1983. This was a running skit of a game show where the contestants are unable to answer any questions correctly. Eugene Levy, plays Alex Trebel, based on game show host Alex Trebec (Jeopardy). Alex starts by chatting with the contestants. The first category is articles of clothing found in a bedroom. The second is European cuisine. Alex decides to have the contestants pick a number from 1 to 10. Prize: seat covers from Vinyl World.Alex Trebel - Eugene Levy; Darren Peel - John Candy; Blanche Ray Kellogg - Andrea Martin; Arthur Andrew-Leggett - Joe Flaherty; Lawrence Orbach - Martin Short; Johnny Ola (announcer) - John Candy; assistant - extra.Hope you enjoy this classic!

@PositiveLastAction - How can you say that? They're ALL especially hilarious. The thing with SCTV is that they were all equally funny, just like on a lower level the cast of Seinfeld were. Martin Short and Andrea Martin were definitely as funny as John Candy and Joe Flaherty here.

Don't feel bad, Canadians make fun of americans as much as the rest of the world does too. but yes, we do provide all the good actors and comedians.
