SCTV Disaster Talk Show
Jimmy_the_Gent41 August 2019
A pretty good show, not one of the best. Sketches are mostly mildly amusing until the hilarious final one.

Eugene Levy plays sleazy Raoul Wilson, host of a talk show "Men On Women". Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas play a couple of guys with beer guts who talk about women in bikinis.

Guy has a special message about how he will not cancel controversial shows that the previous one. His angry wife Googie calls in and yells at him.

Great White North has Doug trying to demonstrate how to roll your own with ski mitts on.

Marcello has a cooking show and his guest is movie stunt woman played by Robin Duke. They demonstrate break away bottles and balsam wood chairs.

A funny "Taxi Driver" is up next with Woody Allen. The nervous neurotic has trouble handling the gun in the scene.

Guy introduces "The Irwin Allen Show" and gets a call from Moe Green's captors though Guy is not interested in paying the ransom.

"The Irwin Allen Show" is a talk show hosted by the disaster movie producer played by Rick. His guests are stars of many disaster movies. Robin is very funny as Shelley Winters who emerges behind the curtain screaming. Dave plays Red Buttons, acting like he does on the Dean Martin roasts and getting attacked by bees. Then Flaherty comes out as Charlton Heston and Irwin then destroys the whole set, Heston yelling "Damn you! Damn you!". The credits roll while the set is on fire.
