    Only Graham Greene, a dramatic actor, can do such great comedy with a straight face.

      Now the native guy was ok. Should've gotten an Emmy. The rest of the show was a yawn.

    "You look familiar, weren't you in that movie, Dances with Wolves?"
    "Yes I was."
    "What was your name?"
    "Kevin Costner." LOL

    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!

      It does make him difficult to watch in any somewhat serious role when you automatically imagine nitro glycerine being used as liberally as duct tape

    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

      @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.😁

      +MaskedMan66 lol... yeah, and he is using the "native tongue" that he speaks about to lick the pencil, too :D
      (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)
