Eugene Levy on Being Best Friends with Martin Short, Star on the Walk of Fame & Hating Vacations

[@robchehowski4281]

I've loved both Eugene & Marty since the 70s/80s when they were in SCTV. Both are from my hometown: Hamilton, Ontario Canada

[@MiBzAn]

Smells like eggs! 🤣😂🤣😂

[@michaelrmurphy2734]

As was another Canadian hero. Stan Rogers! And the hometown of Tim Horton's too!

[@michaelrmurphy2734]

Beer and back bacon too, eh?

[@PaulaTerryLancaster]

@@michaelrmurphy2734 Stan Rogers was a true Canadian uber-talent and hero. Greetings from Barrie!

[@HRHDMKYT]

Me too!! Lived in Toronto for ~30 years, but right back where I started in the Hammer. Home of Marty Short!

[@sevenirises]

I can only look at Eugene Levy and think of lovable Johnny Rose. What a great actor.

[@Puffsdad]

All I see is Bobby Bitman! HOW ARE YA?!

[@colleenmaecallender7478]

Eugene Levy is pure class just like Martin Short. Talented and funny men.

[@chelseacanales8763]

I like how humble he is and I am so happy that he is getting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

[@RodricBeauregard]

Why didn't he invite Martin too his star ceremony?😊 do u know😊

[@archeredutainment8453]

Yah did Canada a solid. As soon as I see him I think of, and forgive me, John Candy and their comedy troupe, SCTV, which included Martin Short, Andre Martin, Catherine O'Hara, Rick Moranis, Dave Thomas, Joe Flaherty... who performed out of Edmonton, Canada.... hilarious and brilliant work.

[@allendracabal0819]

[@joycediggs4617]

SCTV was one of the best comedy shows of its time and an inspiration for SNL. Eugene is still comedic royalty. 😅😅😅

[@vanzarockin]

He and John Candy were hilarious as the Schmenge Brothers. "Hey, let's polka! Two, three, four. Cabbage rolls and coffee. Mm, mm, good!" Love him!

[@NevadaBoss]

If he had done nothing but SCTV he would still be a titanic figure in comedy. One the most talented comedic actors of the last half century.

[@garrykanter5773]

Earl Camembert....

[@sid7088]

Perry Como, still alive. 😂😂

[@420greatestqueen]

Alex Trebel

[@deborahwilson4684]

Loved him since SCTV. So many memorable roles! Several comments mentioned American Pie. I watched Splash the other night again. He was hilarious as the comical villain who then took a turn & grew a heart. One of the best comic actors ever!

[@susanrobinson910]

Oh yeah, that’s right! Off hand, since you recently saw the movie, do you happen to remember how many places he said his arm had been broken? It was something outrageous like 47 or something 🤔 now I am going to have to look it up lol 🤣

[@susanrobinson910]

lol, I decided I couldn’t wait and looked it up. His character, Walter Kornbluth, stated it was fractured in 16 places 😂

[@ltaylor2799]

I’ve loved his characters for decades, what a legend

[@lizliz4186]

His story of leaving the hotel is so very Canadian. Very polite, doesn't want to offend, just wants to leave, so he does.

[@misterderp4566]

I kept waiting for Catherine O'Hara to barge in with dramatic concern over where Eugene's star actually is

[@MiBzAn]

Lmao she would love that idea 😂❤

[@BasesLoadedLacquer]

i hope she sings oh, danny boy. lol

[@lilivonshtup3808]

She's in New York filming with Marty. They're both using it as an excuse for not being on the guest list.

[@NoraGreen1992]

I waited for the second season of the Reluctant Traveler! So happy it's back. I love Eugene on that show. It's nostalgic just to look at him.

[@ellieisanerd]

What a year for Eugene. He was also just inducted into the Canadian Comedy Hall of Fame a couple of weeks ago.

[@moniespresso]

I would have thought he'd be a long time member of that group.

[@ellieisanerd]

@@moniespresso This was only the second year of it it. So he wasn't overlooked for long.

[@TheCalicohorse]

The Burlington Public library getting a shout-out! Hilarious.

[@MavMoore]

Eugene, love you and your work.

[@paulaschneider8883]

This man is 77 or 78 years old. Amazing!!!!! What a wonderful man.

[@FullyComp]

They performed at the Burlington Public Library🤯 That’s incredible.

[@lisaakinlabi]

LOL I live in Burlington. I remember them at the library doing that play. It was such a small space yet they did plays and had concerts there. Martin Short had a cottage up where ours was - so do Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell.

[@jessfrankel5212]

Eugene Levy deserves his star...he should've gotten it years ago. If they ever make a movie about Edgar Ulmer, the old-time B (and C and D and Z) movie director, Levy would be a natural lead. Ulmer was a go-your-own-way type, a character in his own right, and Levy, while not THAT offbeat, would be perfect.

[@bregancool980]

❤❤❤❤❤❤ Can’t wait for season 4 of Only Murders in the Building!

[@michaelrmurphy2734]

Is Eugene in it as well? I'd love to see Blackpink in it. They know Selina Gomez!

[@brenanream639]

Yes he is in it so is Molly Shannon​@@michaelrmurphy2734

[@TheAmtwhite]

Would love to see Eugene in that show!

[@muiawat]

Love me some Eugene levy

[@mrpolitenessman3539]

I picture Eugene with John Candy in SCTVs Doctor tongues house of stewardesses...an Oscar winning performance ...well deserved Mr Levy 😀

[@thereseduran3177]

Imagine being Eugene Levy and thinking people wouldn't immediately recognize him.

[@reedhoule3045]

First time seeing Dan, i immediately thought, is he related to Eugene Levy?

[@waryaawariiri1812]

Not that many people recognized him here in Canada before Schitt's Creek.

[@notme2day]

@waryaawariiri1812 So America Pie wasn't available in Canada? lolol

[@lakietradavis]

I have loved him since Splash!💙💙💙

[@Elaine6250]

I’ve loved him since SCTV - that whole cast was hysterical!

[@Trina_White]

You make me giggle, Jimmy, love always from 🇨🇦❤😂👍

[@Shawn-wt4kh]

Bride of Boogedy was a stone-cold classic of my childhood. Levy as Mr Lynch knocked it out of the park.

[@odalisque111]

When will somebody have the courage to book Eugene Levy and Jeff Goldblum on the same show? Introduce them and then sit back for a duel of style, wit and storytelling . I think it would be amazing.

[@bofo85]

Eugene has been in the business for years but for me he will always be Jim’s dad in the American Pie movies lol

[@murphtoast6326]

i was wondering if that was this guy bro🤣🤣😭😭

[@seppyq3672]

He's the guy who wanted to buy the house in Father of the Bride Part 2.

[@notme2day]

Me to too. 💝 Jim's dad!

[@OllysDiamond66672]

Also, Stiffler’s dad in the goon.

[@lalaj5831]

Earl Camembert for me. I grew up watching SCTV.

[@danielr8566]

He's my absolute favourite, and fellow Torontonian. Sid Dithers, Al Peck, Bruno... amazing.

[@TheTerrangela]

While in college I worked at WFSU-TV, and my first assignment was to edit out all the black (for commercial breaks) from every episode of SCTV - on videotape! I got to see every show❣ Huge fan ever since. 🎉🎬🍸

[@jasonbean2764]

One of my favorite comedic actors.:)

[@NewMessage]

The official eyebrow of Canada since 1976.

[@CatJabZ]

What a comedic treasure!

[@archieizhellboye]

i feel like he's being his truest realest most authentic self here ... like he's being his actual self and not even trying to be funny... i love it... like his real self... like an uncle or grandad telling honest stories, Hollywood and all... happy i watched this

[@Will-d7o]

another brilliant actor,he's amazing❤🎉🎉

[@CLD170]

One of my favorite people. I was about 13 or 14 when Splash came out and I remember his running joke threw out the film saying, "What a week I'm having!". I thought it was the funniest thing. And then a couple years later, Armed and Dangerous came out. I am still laughing at the scene in the adult book store with him and John Candy. 😂

[@meo21626]

So funny, thanks for the reminder!

[@dowzoo]

The description of his family vacation sounds a little like the first show of Schitt's Creek when they arrive at the motel.

[@michaelrmurphy2734]

Likely it came from that!

[@michaelrmurphy2734]

Johnny Carson was a fan of SCTV and had Catherine O'Hara and Martin Short (and Celine Dion, too!) on for a chat. At different times. And the other guest on with Martin Short was Betty Davis! WOW! He also lived next door to my sister in Toronto. In the downtown. Eugene Levy also played "Alex Trebek" in the spoof version of Reach For The Top. It was the Canadian high school quiz show produced across Canada by the CBC. In the 1960s-1970s.

[@michaelangelos5117]

I'm also a big fan of Martin Short. I'm hoping someday that Jiminy Glick can interview him.

[@clemlowes9417]

A Canadian treasure right there. 🇨🇦👍

[@Rubberman2036]

I'll never forget him as the dad in American Pie.

[@MMConsultinggroup]

Lol, Eugene Levy's like, "uh-oh, my tribe's crying and upset, time to get out of here", lol. He's AWESOME. His comedic timing is unmatcheable, plus Jimmy's such a people person, it's just nice to watch this interaction.

[@PerspectiveEngineer]

That star took way too long my friend. We all knew that 40 years ago my God I'm old now, but you made my teenagers better than they would've been without you and the rest of the crew at second city. Thanks Hero.

[@56nickrich]

I saw Gene do the Old Firehall Second City show back in the mid 70's ... great stuff that ended up on SCTV

[@sid7088]

The SCTV sketch "Perry Como, still alive" is still the funniest thing I've ever seen.

[@rikkiechambers4959]

His show would make it worth getting Apple TV !

Long may you live Eugene, you are loved. CDN

[@tucci007da]

So many decades of laughs courtesy of Eugene. Bravo

[@heidimueller1039]

He’s wearing his “Order of Canada” pin.

There's an old skit of him as Gino Vannelli, classic. Look it up.

[@s.t.martin7939]

And all the awesome movies, like “waiting for Guffman,” “for your consideration,”. A mighty wind,” “best in show,” And all of the movies that he did with Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer, Catherine O’Hara, bob Balaban, John Michael Higgins, Don Lake, Jennifer Coolidge, Jane Lynch, Deborah Theaker, Larry Miller, Ed Begley Junior, And the late, great, Fred Willard !! I’d love to see another movie with that troop!!!.

[@MsUppie]

Best in Show! lol Need to watch it again soon.

[@chantalrochon3566]

[@jeebleswatch3785]

Okay that star bit where Kimmel says he taps the person on the shoulder was actually the funniest thing I've heard him say in a long time lmao.
