    This was truly funny. I've always liked Graham Greene, wether he's blowing things up or being serious; the man knows how to be funny.

    This is SO awesome!!!!!! So proud to be a Canadian and it is so much fun to be able to "get it" when it comes to the humour.

    Love Graham Greene! I think my favorite role wasn't in "Dancing With Wolves". It was as Edgar "K.B." Montrose on "The Red Green Show"! My favorite character on the show! KABOOM!

    In 1997, "The Red Green Show" moved from Global to CBC, and in 1998, CBC moved Red Green to Friday nights right after RCAF. I mention this because Graham Greene played Edgar K.B. Montrose on RGS.

    This was one of many I saw live when they taped it I was 11 years old
    Saw two Mike from canmore sketches
    One chicken cannon episode( the maple leaf gardens target)
    One episode where Jean Chretien appeared

    • @bluebear1985

      One episode I remember where Chretien appeared was the same sketch where Pamela Wallin also happened to pop up.

    • @pbabuik
      @pbabuik 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @bluebear1985 that was the one . They also filmed a Mike from Canmore sketch there too but it never aired cause it wasn't that funny

    • @bluebear1985
      @bluebear1985 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @pbabuik One thing I remember is that at one point, the real Chretien told Roger Abbott (who was still in character as Chretien at that moment) that he actually sounded a bit more like Preston Manning with his impression.😁

      (Now, actually, of course, pencil-cores are no longer made of the heavy-metal lead; they are made from a less toxic "graphite mixed with a clay binder" [thanks, wikipedia!], which is probably not all that toxic, but still should not be ingested)
