SCTV Walter Cronkite gets a threatening phone call

[@aai3661]

To this day my brother and I start our phone conversations with "Did you call me a weirdo Chronkite,"?

[@bigtrain2445]

Love Dave Thomas. He was the only guy to do Cronkite and Bob Hope.

[@richmotroni]

"That really bugs me, Cronkite!"

[@elisloew3884]

dave thomas is so talented..... and funny!

[@MichaelBrookham]

Is that Rick Moranis as the caller?

[@stephaniecarrow4898]

Yes. 🙂

[@tommyboy6267]

"Gonna squeeze your head till your mustache pops off". Where else would you hear a line like that. Beautiful

[@fatima1009]

I can't decide whose funnier, Dave Thomas as Cronkite or Rick Moranis as David Brinkley!

[@roncorless2592]

Moranis and Thomas were both extremely talented!!

[@markdietz9326]

Evil voice... sounds like Bill Murray.

[@ironleeFPS]

I remember laughing my ass off at this on tv when I was 12, and still remember it now at 47. Fucking hilarious.

[@sbwification2]

Bob prank calling Doug.

[@efamily2377]

Dave Thomas, such an underrated performer with the SCTV cast!

[@krisscanlon4051]

Thomas killing Walter lol

[@frankgarrett242]

$DIALING FOR DOLLAR$

[@hamburg1306]

I also remember "Walter Cronkite's world of Bloopers"

[@canaisyoung3601]

That was on that failed Lorne Michaels sketch series, "The New Show".

[@KarstensCreationsKC]

Nobody's watching, Cronkite.
It says 'styling for dollars. And that really BUGS me.

[@thedarkchild86]

Poor Cronkite being terrorize.....

[@brucegordon7248]

It's a real shame that heavy breather's on the phone can't hone their craft anymore. Caller I.D. has killed those simple pleasures.

[@MrUndersolo]

I know. And you can't call out. All the lines used to go right to my van.
And that really bugs me.

[@brucegordon7248]

@@MrUndersolo Lol.

[@christieperry4361]

James Arness?

[@edmonddantes3640]

The first THE THING movie

[@MarthaMedicare]

loved how Dave Thomas portrayed Walter Cronkite. old walt thought he was his god's gift to journalism (though I doubt he actually believed). he was real pompas ass. this was kind of a hit piece illuminating that...😜

[@JohnSmith-kz8yo]

breathe deep, the gathering gloom....

[@DandyLion662a]

Watch lights fade from every room

[@roomhead1685]

thats not walter

[@MrUndersolo]

And that really bugs me...

[@elvicare35]

lol

[@sonyasorkin2173]

LOL

[@drewstrom75]

$DIALING FOR DOLLAR$... it says "sdialing for dollars"... that has stuck with me all these years, hilarious!!

[@garybodeux7999]

Dave Thomas does Cronkite better than Cronkite himself.

[@markp2262]

Always think of this skit when I see a sign using $ for an S...that really bugs me. LOL

[@EndingSummerwithRalph]

Love the Cronkite skits!

[@redkos]

"Guess who I'm waiting for?" "James Arness??" LOL!

[@nicholasradovich9604]

Those were great late night movies!

[@getbent88]

Dave Thomas ruled!

[@firefightergoggie]

Who thinks of this stuff?? LoL

[@unfortunatebeam]

Rick Moranis I guess lol

[@canaisyoung3601]

Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis. You see, unlike most sketch shows, SCTV had the cast be their own writers.

[@525Lines]

Everything Moranis did on SCTV was excellent.

[@jrazjraz]

That is Dave Thomas :)

[@felicity4711]

…with Moranis as the caller :-)

[@TyrSkyFatherOfTheGods]

@@felicity4711 Surely Harold Ramis?

[@MrUndersolo]

@@TyrSkyFatherOfTheGods No, it's Moranis.
And that really bugs me...

[@MrUndersolo]

I saw this as a kid and this just made me laugh so damn hard...
Yeah, I was a weird kid.
And I want your blood.

[@thedarkchild86]

Then I was just as weird .. This was hilarious when I was a kid !!!!!!!!!!!

[@scottmcallister3184]

The full Circle K logo makes me think of this. "Circle Circle K"

[@Fongolitus]

does it realllly bug you?

[@Fongolitus]

I wonder how Moe Greene would react to the heavy breather

[@dartmouthhoop]

Great stuff.....haven't seen this in years

[@felicity4711]

1:17 LOL @ “Wants my blood! Ha ha ha.” ☺

[@Fongolitus]

"I gave at the Blood Donor Clinic"

[@cosmicvagabond]

One of my favorites!

[@JayyJayyTripz]

I remember in the early 2000s some one used to call me breathing every night around 12 -2 am . It was annoying

[@Fongolitus]

maybe they wanted your blood ☺

[@JeremyPhillips1981]

It was either that or doing another Honey, I Shrunk the Kids movie. Can you blame him?

[@MrUndersolo]

Are you calling me annoying, JJT?

[@bitfenix90]

It coulda been Cronkite, y'know.

[@calif1mc]

Hilarious!

[@MrUndersolo]

Do you think I'm funny, Cook?
Guess who I'm waiting for Cook?

[@LATVERIAN1]

LOL

[@ajdc88]

is that bill murray's voice?

[@simonblakeley9773]

No It's Rick Moranis. He's just whispering

[@wadexyz]

it really does sound like Bill Murray though...

[@unfortunatebeam]

@@wadexyz no it doesn't

[@MrUndersolo]

No, and that really bugs me.
