  • A great sketch, similar to the Nichols & May "Telephone" sketch.

    It's amazing to think that, back then, sending a telegram was such a big deal that it was something you only did for really big, important events, or emergencies. Is there even such a thing as a telegram any more?

  • He wasn't bad looking when he was young, either. He was an underrated talent, much missed.

  • Billy van was a great Canadian.. I miss him alot.

  • Wow! Great to see some rare footage from the CBC. Billy Van is most noted as Count Frightenstein.

  • Hilarious! Thanks for posting this.
