some kids don't know John Candy & don't know that he's part of the reason Americans look at Canada so amicably .. guys like that are their greatest export
Such a good point, I think you're right about that. He was so outgoing, lovable and being in Hollywood, naturally he put Canada on the map as the country with "nice people". Amazing person... I wish I met him.
I met John Candy at a meet and greet when i was a kid. He asked me what i liked in school and about my interests. he seemed genuinely interested and was very kind. and god, so funny. even to a kid. Uncle Buck is one of the funniest movies of the 80's. His own take on Orson Wells during a few skits on SCTV was absolutely amazing and so damn funny. what a legend.
As a kid watching Uncle Buck, I can remember thinking I wish I had a big badass crazy uncle like that. And you just knew John Candy was probably a lot like that in real life. I big guy with an even bigger heart. God Bless you "Uncle John". You are soooo missed.
I saw a documentary the other day about him and was so impressed on what a good man he was. Apparently, he had time for everybody, cared about other people and their problems and would try to help out. He would have been missed even if he had never made a single movie.
I hear you. I was a huge fan of SCTV when it first started and many in the USA even knew about it. Then he followed up with great movies. He left us all too soon.
I miss John Candy to this day. He was a fine actor and he was extremely funny. I first saw him doing standup in the early to mid 70's - then SCTV. Then the movies. Trains Planes and Automobiles is one of my favorite movies of all time. We were so lucky to have him in our lives!
I'm still not sure of all the reasons that I liked about him = But I do know there wasn't any thing I didnt like !!! I still miss his smile... thanks John
@@mattosullivan9687 So does Canadian Bacon. I've seen many of John's movies, but only have two of them (Planes, Trains and Automobiles, and Uncle Buck).
I miss John. He put his heart and soul into most everything he did. I miss him and his spirit is missing in today's society where few today put their heart and soul into anything. It feels empty out there without him.
When it was announced on our local radio station that John Candy had died, I too was driving and had to pull over. I actually cried. I grew up watching him and laughing so much. I still miss him.
Mee too. I was coming home from work when I was 20. Heard it on the radio. My Dad called me with the news again when I got home. Dad loved him too.😢 .... and Super Dave at 10:51!
"hey, isn't that John Candy over there on the sidelines?" Joe Montana said that in the huddle to the 49ers during the Superbowl while trailing the Bengals with a minute left right before his game winning, comeback drive. I guess John could inspire anyone to victory. God bless him, Montana, and the rest of the Niners
He was an amazing man. To see how everyone was so drawn to him as a whole.. that's inspiring enough that we as human beings need to start leading with our hearts and give a little. Money means nothing.. sometimes all it takes is to just listen to someone and you may change their life. I was 12 when he passed away and I remember crying because "Uncle Buck" was gone. R.I.P Mr Candy
I had to hold back tears to watch this...I grew up in Hogtown watching my Double Blue and remember the splendor of that season. I saw the game with the Blues Brothers show and a few others that year. But everytime I go to the Dome, especially for a football game, I close my eyes and I can remember back, like it was yesterday, where I saw John walking on the sidelines, just a shout away. Wish he was here for the 100th Cup, because it was dedicated to men like him who made this league great. RIP
John Candy was a comedy genius. I loved his Canadian football joke that the CFL secretly has 4 downs and Canadian teams punt on 3rd downs to be safe. I'm glad that Toronto named October 31st, 2020, "John Candy Day" in honor of John Candy. I hope the people of Toronto support the Argos in future once the Pandemic has vanished
I grew up watching him and always loved his films and comedy. This is my first time seeing anything about his true character and I am blown away by how loving, passionate and giving he was. The impact he had on the world that still expands the way rings of water do when one after another when one throws a pebble in it. Time cannot tarnish the gifts he gave of himself simply to help others.
As a Canadian I miss John more than any celebrity that has since passed. I'm 34 and he passed away when I was 9. I always watch his movies and always wished I could have met him because he seems like the most "down to earth" guy ever regardless of his celebrity status. RIP JOHNNY HOLLYWOOD 🇨🇦
For me growing up John Candy was more than just a movie star or an actor he was a role model. A person from Hollywood who seem to still have a heart and soul.
I love John Candy: he always treated everyone with respect. I love John in Cool Runnings and Uncle Buck, it was such a shame he passed 13 months before I was born!!
John, A truly beautiful soul! This brings a tear to the eye as I watch this video1...God bless you for all the healing joy and laughter that you gave to us!!
I just finished watching this ! He predicted he would own the Argos & he did it along with winning the " Grey Cup " in 1991 ,...Im so proud of you John for your heart & strength in what you accomplished ...You put many smiles across Canada & Im glad your dream came true ! I hope John that one day they make a movie of " True Double Blue " ...RIP
Bruce McNally what a piece of work capping John Candy at a million so McNally could be in control . Defrauding banks out of $236 million & only getting 70 months what a sweet deal . Loved John Candy didn't know about argonauts ownership till today thx TH-cam.
Gene Sotdorus I was wondering. I don’t know anything about the McNally guy but when he said what he did was for John’s benefit, well, it just sounds a little suspicious.
Several years back I was playing some silly board game where you would be asked deep and personal questions. One the questions I was asked was what celebrity living or dead would you most want to talk to and said John Candy. That still holds true.
He would be proud of the worst to first Argonauts of the 2017 season! ARRRRRRRGGGOOOOOOS! Because of John Candy and Rocket Ismail I became a fan in 91 and never looked back. I love football and I enjoy the CFL and I tell everyone if they enjoy football they should check it out and I've turned a lot of people into CFL fans!
I LOVE College, NFL MLB and would like to watch some CFL Games! Hard to get alot in NE Ohio, USA! I wanna say I have that TSN Chan and have seen some CFL Games..Seen a hugh snow game in Dec or Jan I do believe? It snowed very hard..Wannna say it was Calgary but dunno now?! Canada put out some of my FAV Ppl ever..I love Candy, Owen Hart and the rest of the Hart family up there! Canada has some very dedicated GOOD Ppl..Id LOVE to move to Canada!
I was privileged to watch some during the CFL's US experiment in Baltimore which was done wrong. They should have played a game or two in the US during the regular season like the NFL does in Europe. Do that for a few years and then look at expanding there. In reality it should stay up north, its not meant to be an alternative league to the NFL, like the USFL was.
@@d-mo733 The CFL season runs from June to November including playoffs. The snow game that you saw would have been in November or possibly October. Too bad that there were no games this year. Hopefully it will be back for the 2021 season.
I can always watch one of John Candy's movies and smile and laugh even if I'm having a horrible day absolutely loved the man so funny, but he was a very kind and wonderful person to I was only 7 when he passed im a grown man now and it still gets me I can't help but tear up thinking how to soon he left this world 😢 John was a legend his memory will never die rest easy Mr Candy your star will forever burn bright.
The story goes, Oliver Stone was cutting the scene with John Candy for time, and when Kevin Costner found out he called Stone and said leave it in or we have a problem
Out of all the celebs we have lost, no one has affected me more than the loss of this great man. I still miss him to this day. Why does God take all the good ones and leave us with the trash ? I wish he was still here. What a saint you were John Candy... 'Uncle Buck'..
Often said and saying it again: We live in a world where one of the nicest, kindest most polite gentlemen like John Candy are taken away when they are far too young. We don't want to accept this but yet, there it is.
u guys realise it wasn't only the football team it was everywhere, these stories these football players tell are told all over the planet. The dude gave money to everybody and was loved by everybody. Hell even Debo from Friday loved them and told great stories of John
Ken Kroetch I don’t believe they let people with a soul hold that position. He definitely wouldn’t go-along with this fake pandemic, mask-wearing satanic ritual.

My wife and I were heartbroken when we heard the news of his death. We’re both big fans of Mr. Candy.
There are only a few people in your lifetime that legitimately make an impact. John Candy was one of them for me!😅😅😅

I have one; his name is Lonnie
Never heard a single bad thing said about John Candy, the man was simply a 6 foot 2, 300+ pound sweetheart. I still miss him, man...
I saw a documentary the other day about him and was so impressed on what a good man he was. Apparently, he had time for everybody, cared about other people and their problems and would try to help out. He would have been missed even if he had never made a single movie.
WHO THANKS THERE SHOULD BE A MOVIE MADE ABOUT JOHN CANDY LIFE FOR THE BIG SCREEN?
Hellllllll no, bc whoever they cast to play him wouldnt be good enough and ruin it
I do.
@e causey I'd go with Jonah Hill
@e causey Gross, that pasty creep could never have played an affable, loveable man like Candy.
Where do I sign the petition!!!
I'm watching this at the end of 2019 and I'm tearing up like he died yesterday, miss you John
I'm about to watch it watch it and it's December 30, 2019.
January 24, 2020. Very funny man. I loved Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Uncle Buck.
2020 still chokin up .

A true Canadian icon, love this man!
His kids look just like him. That keeps his memory alive...well, along with him just being an icon.
I miss John Candy to this day. He was a fine actor and he was extremely funny. I first saw him doing standup in the early to mid 70's - then SCTV. Then the movies. Trains Planes and Automobiles is one of my favorite movies of all time. We were so lucky to have him in our lives!
I became a permanent fan when I saw the "orange whip?" thing.

I wish they could remaster the 4hr uncut version of planes trains and automobiles
... A JOLLY SPIFFING EGG..
What a huge heart he had! A true kind Canadian!
I loved John Candy as an actor. Especiall in the Great Outdoors and Uncle Buck. I wish he did not pass away.
Summer Rental Rules
@@mattosullivan9687 So does Canadian Bacon. I've seen many of John's movies, but only have two of them (Planes, Trains and Automobiles, and Uncle Buck).
@@kevinmiller1985 Dude Summer Rental
What about his significant roles in "Planes, Trains & Automobiles" , "Home Alone" and "Cool Runnings" ?

I'LL DO IT!!!!!

John Candy was an amazing person... Greatly missed.
Make a movie of this. I love John Candy may his memory live on forever!!
He was such a decent talented man, RIP Uncle John.

Joe Montana said that in the huddle to the 49ers during the Superbowl while trailing the Bengals with a minute left right before his game winning, comeback drive. I guess John could inspire anyone to victory.
God bless him, Montana, and the rest of the Niners
I also liked draft day
😒
The thing is his Canadian football is so different from the NFL.
One word how I can describe John Candy...Legend
He never ceases to put a smile on my face. Even on my worst day.
He was an amazing man. To see how everyone was so drawn to him as a whole.. that's inspiring enough that we as human beings need to start leading with our hearts and give a little. Money means nothing.. sometimes all it takes is to just listen to someone and you may change their life.

R.I.P Mr Candy
The best God I miss him and I never met him. Amazing.
Everything he did in tv & movies, he was lovable. That was HIS heart on his sleeve. I only wish there were more glimpses.
This was such a wonderful story. I had no idea how passionate John Candy was about his home town pro team.
My favorite actor comedian , big heart , big man , big personality, and a great comedian

What an amazing human being. You are sourly missed John Candy..from an American who first saw you on SCTV as a kid so many years ago.
My impression is John took everything personally. I love him rabidly.❤❤❤
As a Canadian I miss John more than any celebrity that has since passed. I'm 34 and he passed away when I was 9. I always watch his movies and always wished I could have met him because he seems like the most "down to earth" guy ever regardless of his celebrity status.

A very sweet story about a man we all loved. The Fishing Musician.
Even though he's Canadian, He's an American treasure. God bless John Candy!
For me growing up John Candy was more than just a movie star or an actor he was a role model. A person from Hollywood who seem to still have a heart and soul.
Truly one of the very best Good Guys.......I miss him
John Candy a great man - sadly missed taken far too early 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Never knew this about the man. It's just cements the image I had growing up laughing to all his comedy and movies. A true gentleman.
They just dont make 'em like that anymore. A truely funny, decent, honorable man. The Great Outdoors !!!
Big man. Even bigger heart. Always missed cause you're always so deeply loved. Thank You John.

Everyone knows how funny John was, but it was his kindness and humanity that came through his on-screen characters that made his movies so good.
I would really like to see a movie about John Candy’s life.
Nobody even comes close to John, a class act gone too soon! We miss you 😍

Best John Candy scene - Planes Trains & Automobiles when he crashes the car listening to mess around, Laughs and says "Wow".
Live'At'MikesBar Carlisle “You’re going the WRONG WAY!” “How does he know which way we’re going.”
I learned so much about this man!!
John still give me Goosebumps. I adore him, I love him.
What a privilege to be entertained by such a wonderful, kind man
Several years back I was playing some silly board game where you would be asked deep and personal questions. One the questions I was asked was what celebrity living or dead would you most want to talk to and said John Candy. That still holds true.
He did this because he was a proud Canadian. He loved everything from canada.
Missing John, watching memories of a man who was honestly loved by people, not many are !!
I just re watched Summer Rental there is a line "hey that guy looks like John Madden" he was a class act
Love the line where he goes to that bar and the bartender says "What can I get ya? ....John says "drunk" lol

He did a scene in JFK in a cafe that was mesmerizing, haunting in its quality. Totally went outside his character, total departure.
Yakira Talamantes I remember that. He did a great job stepping out of character in that movie.
The story goes, Oliver Stone was cutting the scene with John Candy for time, and when Kevin Costner found out he called Stone and said leave it in or we have a problem
He was a Great personality...sadly missed...
Really good documentary, I love and miss John Candy!

One of the greatest modern Canadians, that never FORGOT where they came from. Unlike a lot of other modern Canadian stars unfortunately.
He also loved hockey. Canada's national sport.

Greatest man that I have ever meet, miss you John Candy you were my biggest idol.
Pure passion. Loved that man.
