      It's because it sounds like he's saying something else, so they need to add it so it doesn't get censored

    Amazing actor. Love his personality. One of the best. I watched SCTV as a youth and loved him ever since. Him, John Candy, Catherine O’Hara, and the gang.
    The eyebrows are my favorite!

      @@camplethargic8 Guilty as charged about using a tired cliche, but it makes my heart feel more joy to employ a tired cliche in the service of saying something kind about an extraordinary talent than it would if I used wittiness to insult someone. If you derive joy from trying to make someone feel belittled about their choice of vocabulary, you needn't worry that anyone will call you as exhausted a cliche as "national treasure". I stand by my trite, but heartfelt comment about Mr. Levy. And I wish you peace and joy in your life.

That made me think of Earl Camembert (Eugene Levy character from SCTV) and how he pronounced his name camembear. And of course, I thought of Steven Colbert. It's been a long time since the SCTV days, but I'm glad Eugene is doing great.

    Funny, he seems to “play”the same character that is him in every film I’ve seen...(many I have not seen)...and he is so lovable! Perhaps he’s always just been a form of himself this whole time. That’s what I realized after playing many “characters” they are all a side of me.
    They are me. Love you Eugene!
