Lorne Michaels Didn't Laugh During the Kids in the Hall's Comedy Show | The Tonight Show

[@physicalmediaempire8398]

These men are legends. Kids in the Hall is one of the most important things that ever happened to comedy.

[@samanthasmommy1986]

Kids in the Hall is sorely needed in these trying times. Love them!

[@rocketimpossible5196]

The Kids in the Hall, especially Scott Thompson, are the most important comedians of my lifetime. Buddy Cole and the Kids saved more lives and inspired more young people than they'll ever know.

[@karlospluck]

Oh boy. Getting a little weepy reading your statement. Yes. You are very correct on this. I’ll raise my hand as testament.

Flying circus led to KITH and then American comedy was last in innovation.

[@weakanklesfornamjoon]

wow that’s beautiful 🥺 I love this tribute

[@josephhopper6924]

Truth.

[@comput3rdemos809]

Please don't ruin Scott and turn him into your mascot. He's an individual and did it for his own reasons, not yours or your generation...

[@vytasrauckis6703]

Not only one of the best comedy shows, it also had the best opening music ever by Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet

[@sheilamiller6435]

It’s go good to hear that music again!!

[@lmarchand8526]

I bought two of their albums after hearing that great theme back then... I love their energy :)

[@jonkbaby]

I was in a surf band and the audience loved that song

[@caiusmadison2996]

Great band, only thing like them in America, was Nickelodeon's Polaris, and in-house band comprised of similar musicians of similar music. They did the music for basically everything live action 90's nickelodeon, as well as some animated work. Anyways, a good house band, is the only way to complete a great package.

[@caiusmadison2996]

These guys were such a huge part of my childhood....I still remember their opening theme song like it was a nursery rhyme lol ....loved the Kids in the Hall...my older sister's and brother did too...such an underrated sketch show.

The best part of my life was missing school and watch Kids in the Hall reruns on comedy central…their theme song rocked!

Hopefully they remain as brilliant as they were in the past. Seeing them in interviews and other projects over the years give me the feeling we are in for something really special. Provided the fun police don't ruin it.

[@maximumgainpodcast4835]

Incredibly underrated comedy legends. Some of Canada's greatest.

[@adrock4737]

Religiously watched these guys on TV after school every weekday for a few years-- so great!

[@amyelizabeth529]

OMG! This makes me so happy. Grew up watching them in Buffalo, NY on a Toronto TV station. They're truly iconic Canadian comedians! 👏👏👏

[@snerdterguson]

I remember as a kid in the US hearing about this great sketch comedy show done by a Canadian comedy troupe. Then suddenly it was on HBO and I was on the school bus singing about smoking on night trains and chewing on some jelly rolls. Such a great show. That and The State were both ahead of their time

[@thomaspage7511]

Also from Buffalo and KITH was a staple in my sense of humor. Caught it on HBO, then CTV. ❤️

[@AAAugustine]

Buffalo too... CTV First run... magic!

[@JeffKelly03]

There are four main influences that shaped my sense of humor when I was growing up: Monty Python, The Simpsons, MST3K... and the Kids in the Hall. If you get a chance to see them live, you've gotta do it. I've never laughed so hard in my life.

[@animalmother5287]

Saw them live wasn't too impressed. Their prerecorded skits are a hoot tho

[@snerdterguson]

Same for me, but I replace MST3K (which I really liked but only saw a few times) with The State.

The new season is so good. Totally beat my expectations! And it felt like a warm blanket too. Good to have em back. Such geniuses.

[@DarrenJohn10X]

Way better than expected (unlike the underwhelming Mr. Show reboot) but I gotta say, the other Kids should NOT have agreed to Scott's requirement for so many scenes of [twigs and berries]!

[@kikic4899]

@@DarrenJohn10X I’m always appreciative of dudes being naked for comedy. I mean, I feel like bc it’s them it should be weird that now I kind of have their bouncing junk in my mind for all time 😂 But tbh I really just feel like that was pretty killer of them to actually do. Like, bravo 💯 lol It definitely takes balls 😅

[@hearsegod8909]

Saw them live twice. Have everything they have put out on dvd. Even news radio was fantastic! Please do another movie!

[@snerdterguson]

I agree. But why say "even" News Radio was good? I would argue its the best post KITH project by one of the actors. Honestly, its probably in my top 10 favorite sitcoms. It was so good, it made Joe Rogan and Andy Dick seem funny. Lol

[@skmall89]

I'm such a proud 🇨🇦 right now!!! So happy to see these guys again❤

Kevin should do a bit with Kyle Mooney as mirror dimensions of each other. And Lorne Michael - bring back Kristen Wiig to play Dooneese opposite Mark McKinney as Chicken Lady! Totally disturbing but likely hilarious! And Dave, at 46, I feel I can finally share: I've always had a crush on you.

My fiancee recently got into "Superstore". I legit DID NOT recognize Mark McKinney in the show til a few episodes in when I started actually paying attention to the credits. It's been a while, and hadn't seen him in anything else, so it was oddly a pleasant surprise. Definitely check out NewsRadio again. That show really was ahead of its time.

The new season is a wonderful embrace of their age and the spectacle of reviving familiar characters in their 60s. It's different--they can't be the same troupe they were. Mark does some weird, surreal bits that I really like. I feel as though once again they are pushing the envelope of sketch comedy.
