A rare melding of the SCTV with prime time television. John Candy doing his Orson Welles bit on the Billy Crystal Comedy Hour in 1982. This was a short lived (5 episode) series that ran Saturday nights in the 10-11 pm time slot. "Found" tape, recorded at LP speed.

  • I wonder who the first asshole is that will dislike this vid?

  • Food?? Yes, lets go to the green room.... XD

  • Move your camera!

  • John Candy great actor.... way before his time. RIP

  • @weinerbongo Welles was as pleasant and jovial a man as you could ever meet. But he would not brook stupid people telling him what to do. Listen carefully to the "Frozen Peas" recording a few times and you will discover that he was being asked to read horribly written ad copy by complete incompetents.

  • @weinerbongo There's a famous outtakes tape (audio only) of Welles being grumpy and pompous while recording voiceover for frozen food commercials. It's worth a listen, it'll be on Youtube. Some of the lines here come from that ("Yes, always")

  • @PointFiveToupee I caught that too. LOL
