The real star here for me is Andrea Martin. She captures that self-absorbed pompous upper class pampered inner-circle stage actor royalty persona...ok, that was a lot in there, and I'm not sure how to articulate it. But she nailed it! Everyone else was fab as well!

This sketch is about Canadian mass media in general, combining the deliberately boring and pedantic nature of the content with the incessant need to copy American concepts but draining the very life out of them by overthinking it.

Hey SCTV experts: There's a sketch in which these same characters appear on a talk show to discuss their plans to break into the American TV market. The host (also played by Levy) berates them for being so stupid and tells them they're a bunch of no-talent nobodies who will never be famous in America. He plays clips to prove how bad their shows are. Does anyone know the sketch I mean?
