[@FlamingoKicker]

This was so brilliant because it reminds me of the skit from the old SCTV series where a younger Bob Hope interrupts Eugene Levy (playing his nightclub comic Bobby Bittman's) stage act on the Sammy Maudlin Show. Listen to the music they play when Hope enters. They obviously didn't want to pay the royalties for ":Thanks for the memories" ... Bob Hope's theme song... so they changed enough notes to make it a different song.

Eugene Levy has always been what Harold Ramis was, a fantastic middleman character that brings some sanity to the scene to make the other appear more ridiculous

[@WalterLiddy]

He has much broader range than that. He's also totally capable of being the absurd one. Often he'd dominate the scene playing outrageous characters like Woody Tobias Jr or Earl Camembert. He can do it all.

[@mattsharkey8437]

@@WalterLiddy I never said he was only a middleman lol. Stick with the scene at hand

[@labluvver]

As far as comic actors go, Harold Ramis was a fine director.

[@prince.mushroom]

The true genius is playing it so perfectly that the straight man becomes compelling and hilarious in their own right without pulling focus. This is John Cleese's big gift too. This dignifies the comic caricatures by making normality look ridiculous, and the sketch becomes a satire rather than just a vehicle for a schtick. Eugene Levy is a rare kind of talent.

It’s hilarious that “Bob Hope” (Dave Thomas) interrupted Eugene Levy on this mock talk show, because on SCTV, he used to interrupt Bobby Bittman (Eugene Levy) on the Sammy Maudlin Show! The reason “Hope” gives both times is that he was working on a special next door and thought he’d drop in (ruining Bittman’s act!). _So_ funny!!
