John Candy on Sesame Street

[humphreyproject]

Schmenge brothers rock!!!!!!

[mistofoles]

Boy, that's one hell of a zit John has on his forehead!

[mistofoles]

Was John really playing that clarinet?

[mistofoles]

John also played a cameo as a motorcycle cop in the Sesame Street movie "FOLLOW THAT BIRD"!

[BI30]

The Schmenge Brothers. Candy (Yosh) and Levy (Stan) played Polish Band playing brothers from SCTV. I had forgotten about them. :)

[DJVL0GS]

I miss John Candy..One of the best and he always made me laugh!!!

[sallythewerewolf]

I RECOMMEND and RECOMMEND and RECOMMEND the ""The Last Polka" ...It's my all-time favourite! Thank you SO much for posting this--thought I'd never see it!

[EyeLean5280]

The little worms playing the instruments were very cute:)

[Nate2764]

I would definitely recommend The Last Polka

I am strangely embarrassed to know this character is from sctv.

[fjccommish]

Everypeople know de worm can't play de clarinet, de don't got de fingers.

[TheCanadianWanderer]

He sounds like I Litonian

[richiebear1969]

"It's just imposs, imposs ahh you can't do it." lol

[MrJSR26]

I remember seeing this when I was like, five, and recognizing this guy as John Candy. It was a little confusing...

[woollybully100]

i wonder if this is how John Candy would have played louis tully in ghostbusters.

[policedan]

i heard about that too i o shit that means he would have later been a ghostbuster that would have been funny if he would just have acted normal like the director wanted cause i love john candy

[JGMurakami]

SCTV + Sesame Street = AWESOME

[RussFx]

Yeah, a bizarre combination, but it happened!

[crlaw75]

Now if only Eugene Levy was there.

[kirk7524875248]

I think "HubsDrunk" explains it. He's just fucking with you guys. But you know what Hubs? It's not that funny.  Try to slowly untwist your life.

[colinroxanduknowit]

thats one hell of a clarinet player! RIP

[JoAqUiNBandit]

john candy=badass clarinet! lol. we miss you, mr. candy!

[HubsDrunk]

Where is good old John Candy nowadays? Haven't seen him around in awhile.

[turbo72577]

He died in 1994.

[sullysullerson]

[xXNirvanaLithiumXx]

No shit sherlock..... RIP John Candy Another Canadian great gone... :(

[FoxForever90]

...uh, dunno if you know this or not but he's dead man...

[BuddyBoy600alt]

He is dead.

[zybraman]

My favorite is South Sea Sinner what a episode. Undalai my bags!!!!!

[daiatlus79]

CLassic but a shame that Eugene Levy wasnt there to join him! The Brothers were great together!

[missravae]

aww....rest in peace johnny =(

[SUPERassholeBASTARD]

John Candy ate a lot of candy!

[BuddyBoy600]

No, He actually died because he smoked alot of cigarettes.

[dd1985]

The Polka King of the Midwest!!!

[Bigdog6780]

I was waiting for him to laugh like pee-wee.

[JayP80Geno]

R.I.P.

[mygirlfriendisback]

He sounds like ernie

[Constantine31313]

John Candy kinda reminds me of Kevin James

[Makaveli21x]

candy was a genius, one of the best comedians ever. kevin james is about as funny as a tree. and tree's are not funny.

[equalcharliebrown]

more like kevin james james reminds you of john candy.

if john candy had to lean on will smith just make a crappy movie.

[IOWAisSlipknot]

RIP John Candy.

[thunderstruck665]

Slimy rules all!!!

[Neptuneman07]

This brings back happy memories of being 5 years old. It took another 13 years before I find out about the SCTV character and the show!!!!!

[samsticka]

Those glasses make John look like Rod Roddy.

[BuddyBoy600]

I agree with John Candy and Richard Stoltzman, Worms cannot play clarinet. Because worms don't have fingers. But I give this 5 stars.

[EmoJam]

1:05 look at him stare at the camera haha

[runnerpucci]

I love how he took a SCTV character and shared it with Sesame Street... he was such a great comedic actor.. I think the true mark of a great comedian is how they can relate to children and he excelled at this

[ballrub]

both of these actors are great!

[DRUMMERMAN77]

you wanna play trumpet with your little worm lol

[woahannablue]

Stan must be off making cabbage rolls with Vilve Yachki. I was always equally puzzled and delighted when people from SCTV showed up on Sesame Street. I probably saw more of SCTV than I ever did of SS, and when the two came together, I loved it.

See The Last Polka and watch for the Gord Martineau cameo.

[crazyrabbits]

"See The Last Polka and watch for the Gord Martineau cameo."

Gord Martineau cameo = I'M F$%#ING SOLD!!! HELL YES!!!

[BigBlueBeast]

RIP John Candy.

[Grover1234]

I really enjoyed it. I hadn't seen this in a long time. I kinda remember it but it's just Slimey's flute playing. Thanks SW for posting this up.

[jeffkahl]

John was a genius!

[grecomic]

I'd recommend seeing The Last Polka if you've already seen The Last Waltz, because some of the humour is better understood in the context of parody. That said, I've always found SCTV humour a bit uneven so don't go expecting something as magnificent as 'Strange Brew.' You might do better looking for highlights on Youtube. My favourite part is Catherine & Mary Margaret O'Hara with Robin Duke as 'The Lemon Twins.'

[steeltownbrown52]

The Lemon Twins, that was'nt on SCTV. Was that on Last Polka to? Mary Margaret I think only had one SCTV appearance. "Broads Behind Bars".

SCTV and Sesame Street were pretty tight.

[Figure2006]

John Candy was my favorite actor on sesame street back when i was a kid, i wish he was still alive. R.i.p to him.

[Quisyfrottesypique]

My kids kept asking if that was his real voice. Ah! Ha! Ha! That was a wonderful peace. I still love you Candy!

[iambernig]

That was awesome. John Candy is still great. RIP

[urbangypsy770]

poor john candy, RIP we miss you :(

wonderful clip, thanks for sharing!

[glowworm2]

XD! This is hillarious-I love John Candy's expression when he sees Slimey pop out and play! I love that little clarinet.

[wiley207]

He was also Wilbur in "The Rescuers Down Under"

[americanaccents]

"Black Slacks"

Whoa! Hey, who killed the music?

[Sapphires1985]

Wow that voice, way to work it Candy!R.I.P. John Candy.

[ArtGrape]

He was so cool.

[GroverKent]

John Candy's Canadian!!!
