It’s good to know after all these years John Candy isn’t forgotten. Good on Ryan Reynolds for making that happen to. I see and watch John Candy every Thanksgiving because of Planes, Trains and Automobiles and every Christmas because of his cameo in Home Alone.
Gus polinski😅
Norm MacDonald practically single handedly willed the canadian screen award into being referred to as The Candy
American here, I always assumed Candy was just an abbreviated form of Canada or Canadian! I was vaguely aware that the award was called a Candy, it never occurred to me that it would be "named" after John Candy, as well it should be! A national treasure. Canada never ceases to amaze 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇨🇦
I worked with Johns friend Rick Bennett who had been petitioning the Canadian Screen Awards to have the award nicknamed The Candy but they refused because they wanted to establish the award on its own merit. Norm was able to publicly override it during the live broadcast and make the name stick
A legendary moment
@@jameskwiatkowski7202 Both Norm and John Candy are icons of Canada, and I say that coming from Australia/New Zealand growing up. Magnificent people, and hearing that story somehow makes me love Norm so much more, which was difficult considering how much I loved him already.
Never knew that
That's one thing you always hear about John Candy, he was exactly who you hoped he would be. Beautiful.
When John Candy died I was young but I remember it hit me hard. All of his stuff was my favorite tv/movies (best summer rental) but also because he was also someone the person that made me realize any partner of mine must be that kind of funny and silly.
I just looked at the "Yellow Belly" sketch. Naturally, the mother in the sketch is masterfully played by living legend Catherine O'Hara!
I remember being 10 years old in a Coco's in Orange, California when my parents were talking about his death. It was the first time in my life that I internalized the concept that people can die. Really shook me to the core. Naturally, I locked myself in my bedroom for the next fifteen years.
He's so great in everything. Loved "Who's Harry Crumb?"
"Look at the size of her head! She must be enormous."
I loved that movie! I got really sick when I was 8 - got some kind of virus and suffered post-viral fatigue to the point where I couldn't walk for a week or two and I remember just laying on the couch and watching Who's Harry Crumb over and over because it was the only thing that cheered me up.
I can't forget a couple SCTV sketches that featured John Candy. One was "Roy's Food Repair" ("I'll drop it in liquid nitrogen, take it out back and sand-blast it") and "Pepi Longsocks". ("Look at me! I'm a potato!").
I have fond memories of watching Uncle Buck as a kid with my brother and sister. John Candy was a national treasure.
John Candy as Pattoo , from FAN-TASSS-SEE Island. " I know what your Fantasy is boss...." - " Shut up Pattoo, you little idiot"....
Seriously, there are moments where Colin will say a certain word or maybe a grouping of words and it'll sound exactly like his dad. It's happening more as he gets older.
I noticed this too. Normally his voice is deeper, but at certain times, he raises it and it sounds like his dad. He should star in a Tom Hanks documentary.
It's more than just the voice. There are things in the timing and inflections that make it obvious that this is a guy who spent his childhood sitting on the couch watching movies next to Tom Hanks.
Here's the sketch they are talking about:
th-cam.com/video/CPY-I-vn8Bc/w-d-xo.html
Candy's Johnny LaRue still cracks me up. His impressions of Orson Welles is spot on. Even though I knew who Orson Welles was when I was younger, I didn't know he was that difficult. So when those Orson Welles clips hit the internet back in the day, I thought of John Candy
John Candy is one of those celebrities that people love for being one of the nicest, regular guys out there, much like the same way Tom Hanks is loved for being a nice celebrity. Loved them together in Splash and wonder what it was like between them on the set.
It must have been a positive one. They worked together again a year later in "Volunteers".
@@HueyRocks23
"Volunteers" was a terrible script that some Hanks and Candy (mostly Candy) made into a decent popcorn movie. 🍿
I always loved Roger Ebert's suggestion - that the movie would have been radically better had they switched roles. I'd have LOVED to have seen that movie.
@@daveinindy Makes sense :) I liked seeing him as a romantic lead in Only You. Ended up with a little crush on him watching that. : )
since we're talking about forgotten greats, don't forget about Jim Varney
I miss John Candy :(
I'm glad his legacy lives on, he was on among my favourite actors, next to Tom Hanks and Robin Williams.
John could definitely do drama.The scene in cool runnings when he asks the olympic committee not to blame his guys for the mistakes he made was a great dramatic scene
he did in JFK
@@Cee2k true
That must have been so cool showing John Candy around.
Great interview Conan. John Candy was one of a kind, very talented funny guy. I think he was the best comedic actor that came out of his generation other than Robin Williams. Colin Hanks was great in that excellent series The Offer. Godfather producer Al Ruddy's story was really interesting. This is great to see Colin is producing a John Candy doc.
Lol Conan sounded like he was Jordan when he described wanting Spanx to hold him in various areas
Tom Hanks brought his son to see my Shakespeare company years ago and was really lovely. I don't think it was this son though. He was about ten and they were shooting Private Ryan at the time. Tom Hanks was exactly as I'd hoped he would be also. As was his wife, who is a great actress.
Well, a lot of my presence in court I owe to my years at Yuk Yuks and other Toronto clubs so long ago. A woman approached me one day, said her son had just finished his undergrad and wanted to go to law school. Was there anything I could recommend he do to help his law career. Do a few years of standup, said I. After confronting drunken hecklers in a club, no judge in the world can intimidate you. Sure, you can't use the same lines such as "Hey your honour, do you like Star Trek, then Klingon this!" Okay, I used it once, but we weren't in open court, we were in chambers.
As much as I can Count I have 20 Candy Films on DVD!!! Maybe More!!! HUGE FAN of this Man!!!
LOVE JOHN CANDY FOR LIFE!!!!!
When he died, I actually cried. He was like a friend dying.
Sona wearing a shirt that says "BIEN" is all I needed to see today
This instalment was missing x1 'Kevin Nealon'. There's no forgetting the fun of that last one.
I would love to see that documentary
Hey Coney, that shirt is giving me good news as a fan: we're getting more Conan every episode.
another reason to like Coco...his great taste in comedy. I was fortunate enough to see John Candy live in Toronto circa 1981 and he was exactly what you would think he'd be...at the end of the show, he invited the whole crowd to "go over to the pub and have some hard liquor!" Btw...the lyrics to the Yellowbelly song were (sung to the tune of Davey Crocket: "Yellow! Yellowbelly! Where ya gonna run to now???" lol. Really miss JC. One of the greats.. ps..here ya go..behold comic genius, eh? th-cam.com/video/Nf9PTd6kxWQ/w-d-xo.html
I heard this video play in the background. I first thought I heard Robert Downey Jr speak. But it was Colin Hanks. Their voices sometimes sound alike.
i saw him on sctv too, so funny
6:25 Sp-Hanks(Spuh-Hanks)
Conan didn't remember that very well
A: There was no theme song for Yellowbelly
B: It was a woman and her son
C: The kid just calls him yellowbelly.
D: It wasn't a promo
th-cam.com/video/CPY-I-vn8Bc/w-d-xo.html
I’m pretty sure Yellowbelly was a satire of a tv show in the 60s called Branded.
matt looks like steven spielberg
You should've warned me with Colin Hanks in the title. Not fair.
John Candy was Canada's Robin Williams.
It's not even Cones being creepy He still has the great delivery It's how every time he goes that direction Gourley makes some kind of gross breathing sounds like he's turned on by whatever Cone-a-roony-doony is saying And then Sona has a conniption fit and yells at the wrong person Js
Please tell me Yellow Belly is somewhere on TH-cam. I’m off to look for it….
I support the male spandex by Conan. We can call them “Conads”
For anyone interested, you can just type "John Candy Yellowbelly" into the search, someone uploaded it!
Yellowbelly is a good old fashioned blackout sketch - th-cam.com/video/Nf9PTd6kxWQ/w-d-xo.html
3d house of beef was the best
Is that the guy from "That thing you do!"?
No, that’s his dad. T.Hanks.
@@brainlock72 Y.Our welcome.

I always felt his role in planes trains and automobiles was very dramatic, a very sad and lonely character, nomination worthy. I cried when he died, you never heard a bad word about the man and he represented our country and people so well, miss him so much.. 😔
John Candy was one of the funniest people ever, but he also was a great actor. But it pales in comparison what a great human being he was. Legend.
What about his performance in jfk? Uff lord and comedy and strong characters
He did a brilliant impersonation of the great Orson Welles. Seriously hilarious. 1-:
John Candy was like everyone's hilarious uncle in the 80's. It felt like he wasn't even acting in Splash, just showed up to be Tom's smartass, cigar smoking brother for 90 minutes
I think John's performance in Cool Runnings was a great example of the range of emotions and depth of character he could achieve in a single film.
In Only the Lonely I thought he tapped into some real drama.
I could listen for hours to John Candy stories, all of Canada mourned that loss.
We mourn in the US, too...
John Candy had the Robin Williams "it" factor
Nearly impossible to not love and appreciate their existence and the joy they brought to people.
So true … well said about them both.
Just like Robin, John was given some roles that were really stinkers, but he turned them into comedy gold.
A great man all the way around.
I cannot get over how much Colin Hanks sounds like his dad, especially when he was young
Meanwhile his brother sounds like he’s from Jamaica.
His cadence has definitely changed as he's got older.
@@RyKinder yeah, his brother is a weird one…
@@calisongbird , as a young neurodivergent child (definitely ADHD, maybe autism), I craved attention from other people but didn't always know the best way to get it.
I went through a phase of casually taking objects from people while talking to them. If they were holding something (e.g., paper, phone, water bottle), I would slowly take it from them and hold it, ideally without breaking the conversation.
That didn't really work. Esoteric animal trivia was also not well received.
I'm not saying that Tom Hanks' rapper son is neurodivergent or disabled like me, but it does seem like the privileges he has enjoyed from his dad (e.g., fame, wealth, world travel) have sheltered him to the point that he is out of touch with reality.
He desperately wants attention but has no idea what is entertaining to the average person.
The fake Jamaican accent and bad rapping are his version of taking a water bottle out of someone's hand or sharing too many weird animal facts.
His cadence, his filler words, his stutter starts ... it's pretty ridiculous
The Yellowbelly story explains so much about Conan’s style of humor and many of the sketches on Late Night. Great video!
Where's that story at
@@jimmyjames3819 its here th-cam.com/video/Nf9PTd6kxWQ/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_title
2:07 Conan said _LSAT_ but Colin thought he said _LSD_ lol
And Nobody caught that!!! 🙄
When I was growing up I loved John Candy. He made a movie in the 80s called “Summer Rental” and my uncle and cousins bumped into Mr Candy while they were on vacation. I don’t remember their impression of him but I’ll never forget the photographs they shared, smiling and eating lunch with him on the beach. He really seemed to have the biggest heart, and I’ve always been grateful to hear that he really was as warm and generous as he seemed.
He definitely had an enlarged heart
Wow , that’s cool
I loved "Summer Rental" , especially the way John played off of a fellow pro like Richard Crenna. They both combined great acting and comedy to make that movie stand out when most of the 89's were just slob comedies. With no entertainment values at all.
⁷m
I'll never forget that movie because of the boobies Man, 80s films had a lotta boobies What a swell time it was USA Up All Night with Rhonda and/or Gilbert Gottfried Gettn Rhonda-cised Seeing The Great Gilbert's face not all squinched up floating in the clouds
Aaaand boobies
Had he lived, Candy was Oscar material. Not just once. Oliver Stone saw it in JFK. Scorsese would have eventually picked him up. He transmitted comedy/tears like nobody. His potential was limitless.
Hi Conan. This will probably never reach you and I don't know how to send you a direct message. But I was going through the biggest loss and failure of my life past year. At my lowest I decided to fight back. And just when I was losing hope I saw your Dartmouth speech where you eloquently said it's our failures that shape us. That was what kept me going and I won in the end, got my dream job and life. And damn proud of my failures. I wanted to thank you. I have already voted for you for the peoples choice awards. Best of luck. You inspire everyday. Thanks. Priya.
It was such a supreme bummer when John Candy died.
It was, but not surprising, considering his weight issues. Obesity kills - people forget that harsh truth.
@@calisongbird not to mention he just lost a LOT of money when his Canadian football team went under while filming. There were other factors leaning towards a stress induced heart attack, not simple obesity.
Goodman once weighed over 400 in early 2000s, and he’s doing fine at 70yo after multiple 100+ weight losses and a lifetime of drinking. His father dropped at 52, but his brother is still going at 84.
Hanks talkin Spanks, thanks. I love how Colin’s energy seemed to make the whole room kinder. (Hanks Kerchiefs is hilarious)
It's Potatoes O'Brien, not O'Brien Potatoes.
John Candy and Rick Moranis were my favs. Them together in a movie was GOLD. “Spaceballs”
Colin definitely thought Conan said LSD when talking about the LSAT
Candy’s film ‘Only the Lonely’ with Maureen O’Hara is a good example of his ability to do comedy and drama, and doesn’t seem to get enough credit.
That was very reminiscent of Borgnine in Marty.
I think so too. I saw it shortly after it came out and was like "Wow, ok, so he's going to do a dramatic turn in his career".
John Candy as Orson Welles is hilarious. I can watch him over and over again.
Oh, that was great.
That was hilarious 😂.
No lie, 2 days ago I was thinking of Candy and his brilliance and was wishing he was still around and hate how many years we never had with him. And then I wondered if there were any tribute pieces about him - and then I see this and find out about a doc on him and yo, I am so pumped! Can't wait to see it.
I was thinking other day about him too as I love Planes Trains n automobiles n I always watch it in the run up to Xmas when the decorations are done n brandy in hand.
Funny how actors can become a small but enjoyable part of people's lives they never met.
Me too homie!
Conan is right. Candy’s best stuff was on SCTV. But Splash still holds up. He makes me laugh out loud. Even his scene in Nat’l Lampoons Vaca. The best 😂
Everything he did was great. So good in Uncle Buck. But, yes, he was so good on SCTV.
Conan didn't say Candy's best stuff was on SCTV, he said he knew Candy most from growing up watching him on SCTV. Candy's talent continued to grow and improve well into his adult years, including breaking into dramatic roles like PT&A, Only The Lonely and JFK.
His character in Vacation was Paul Fistinyourface from SCTV, only less aggressive and violent. Ramis loved the character and asked Candy to reprise it.
“What’s this regarding Mr. Grizzle?” 😂😂😂😂
Yeah - he was the anchor for the guys side of the ensemble. O'Hara and Martin were their own planets.
When I was a little kid, Uncle Buck was one of my favorite childhood movies. I still love that movie to this day.
and his cameo in Home Alone. “The Kenosha kickers. We had a few hits a while back Polka, Polka, Polka.”
I’m happy more people than just myself feel this way lol. Such a great and funny guy.
Love, love, love that scene!!! But probably mostly because I'm from Kenosha. Polka, polka, polka! 🤣😂🤣
@@mmmichellegirl lol nobody ever remember that’s scene from home alone
knew John Candy wouldn'ta been a drama queen like Kevin James. 🇺🇸🇺🇦
My dad was on the same football team with Candy when they were in high school & apparently he was a sweet guy even then
Why didn't we go with "Hanks: Spanx for Him"
I am a huge SCTV fan from back in the day being a Canadian. One thing Conan left out was that Candy was playing his character Johnny La Rue who was playing Yellowbelly. He was in character while playing another character. The woman he shot was Catherine O'Hara, long time friend and castmate who currently stars in Schitts Creek.
I hope that some of Martin Shorts audio tapes are included in the documentary. A treasure trove of the parties held by the cast of SCTV and The Second City (Toronto). The parties were called The Services. I think that was the name. Often, when driving to downtown Toronto for work, I would see JC at his house on Avenue Road (look it up, yes it is the name of the street) on the front veranda with his feet up on the railing and smoking a cigar. The doc will be a must watch. Martin Scorsese is making a doc on SCTV. Amazing.
scorsese has been making that doc for years now...wasnt it just shelved?
@@dubiousdistinction6500 yes he has. I am not sure.
Here's a link to yellow belly sketch as discussed on this video:
th-cam.com/video/CPY-I-vn8Bc/w-d-xo.html
Love talk about John Candy, but I'm really distracted by Conan and especially Matt dressed like they are in a late 90s Gap Commercial.
It's funny they went to Martin Short, I mean he really came up with Eugene Levy, Dave Thomas, Joe Flaherty, Short was absolutely in there, but he came in later, didn't he?
Love the John Candy jump to Spanx back to John Candy. 😂
It's like a conversation at my family's home (we all have unmedicated ADHD)
As a theater kid who became a lawyer, I feel both seen and attacked.
There are a handful of celebrity deaths that I and quite a lot of people felt more viscerally than most. I think for the fondness we collectively experienced from their work, the struggles they endured and hearing that they were indeed good people. John Candy is in that echelon. For me it also includes Christopher Reeve, John Ritter, and Robin Williams.
"Kid; you don't try comedy... you do it because you have to" might be the best quote about the comedic arts since "timing timing timing".
Whether it's Amy Madigan, Steve Martin, Catherine O'Hara or now Conan O'Brien, they all say the same thing about John Candy. He's exactly who you needed him to be. As a guy who loved John Candy as a child and was devastated when he passed away, I take great solace in this.
I grew up on Candy. One of my all time favourites. Heck I just watched Uncle Buck not 3 days ago. "Nothing But Trouble" is one of my favorites too 😂💕👍
"Do or do not, there is no try."
I'm only 42, but I miss John candy every single day.
I still think of John and what could have been if he had survived and recouperated from the heart attack. The man absolutely sharp in his comedic timing. I can totally see him and Eugene Levy just having the resurgence that happens in the later part of careers for some. I think those two have a tv show and just conversing would have been the funniest thing ever.
So many of his great roles are often not recalled. Who's Harry Crumb. Nothing But Trouble. Only The Lonely. Once Upon A Crime. Just any role, any genre. Pure genius.
Thanks for the reminder, mostdef revisiting Who’s Harry Crumb? later.
Armed and Dangerous, Brewsters Millions, Summer Rental, Delirious
Conebone69
Yeah, when I was a kid, John Candy was one of my favorites. I love the movie uncle Buck as a kid.
We're inching closer and closer to them just straight up uploading the whole podcast, right?
"hey wait a minute" maybe conan could write a John Candy movie about his visit to Harvard that is all about Conan and John similar to how Weird Al's movie is all about Madonna and Al even thought they only really met for 1 minute in the 1980s.
Thanks to Ryan Reynolds, I now think of John Candy every Halloween, which was his birthday. 2020 would have been his 70th and Ryan made a lovely compilation of John Candy’s funniest movie moments to the tune of “Every Time You Go Away” by Paul Young. You can find it on Ryan’s TH-cam channel with the title “Happy Candy Day”. I just rewatched it yesterday.
My aunt’s birthday, too. She would have been 83 yesterday. #fuckcancer
She always had this bemused smirk, and could put dad in his place with one word. 😂
...you mean to tell me he was a Halloween Candy?
The movie "Only the lonely" A Immensely heartfelt movie. His best work 🥺🎥🎭🍿
Adore John candy ❤
We need a Forest Gump sequel where Colin plays Forest Gumps son who is super smart but becomes a massive f*ck up and becomes apart of the worst tragedies in history.
Ryan does SO MUCH incredible work! I cannot wait to see this!
And the Yellobelly sketch featured Catherine O'Hara, and the song was the Ballad of Davy Crockett from Disney.
I have to find this sketch now! Catherine O'Hara was my hero 😍
Edit: found it! th-cam.com/video/Nf9PTd6kxWQ/w-d-xo.html
SCTV was far and away the funniest sketch comedy ever. Candy as Johnny Larue, Dr. Braino and Mayor Tommy Shanks was hilarious as was everything else.
Recently rewatched "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" and it was hilarious, but Candy's character was so lonely and sad...reminded me that he was truly a good actor as well as comedically skilled 😥
I always loved his Johnny Larue character on SCTV and The Great Outdoors and Summer Rental movies man there are so many good ones.
Lets get Catherine o'hara on the show! or Eugene levy! Bring on cast members from SC TV! Who's with me!?
Who else is googling John Candy Yellowbelly?
Next,Conan O'Brien needs friends podcast with Kit Harrington
John Candy died in, what...1994?
It feels like yesterday because of how present he still is in our world and because I miss him so.
Johnny LaRue was my favorite SCTV character and never failed to send me reeling with laughter.
He was such a humble loving and down to earth man.who makes every one he had met or come across with he leaves them with a smile....we Jamaicans love him to a tee especially make us very proud in cool runnings .when we heard of his passing it was a sad day for us every body was watching it on our local tv stations and we keep hearing about him the whole week.....but every movies he is in was fantastic.....now looking back I would never taught in my wildest dreams I would be living in Canada much less in Toronto where he was from
