SCTV - Masterpiece Theatre - Dutch Leonard - Andrea Martin - 1984

[@texterity3873]

Andrea Martin is one of the greatest comediennes of our time. Her comedy brilliantly examined femininity and female insecurity to hilarious levels. Her contribution (along with the equally brilliant Catherine O’Hara) to Canadian and American comedy should be celebrated.

[@matthewhogg7616]

Well stated. She elevates everything she appears in, without a lot of people seeming to notice.

[@jsch9173]

John Candy as Pat Carroll as Gertrude Stein is merely the icing on the cake.

[@EarthlingY2k]

Thing is anyone under seventy probably has no idea who Pat Carrol was or even Gertrude Stein for that matter but she was a brilliant choice to play Gertrude

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

GO FOR IT!

[@ThouSwell-zx3fd]

My favorite part 😂😂

[@tgfabthunderbird1]

And a nod to Benny Hill, brilliant.

[@philmfan]

Such an odd, unique and fantastic little segment.

[@matthewhogg7616]

Dutch is a master thespian.

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

I thought she was an -actress- -actor- thespian too.

[@HeavyP-p6o]

Lol this is true

Andrea Martin could convey comedy genius without saying one word.

[@OofusTwillip]

She'd studied mime, which taught her to really use her face and body when performing.

[@critter7052]

SCTV's brillliant show parodies make any boring show entertaining and hilarious!!

[@LEARSIKCIGAM]

all these are parodies of actual shows - back then

[@senorsardonico6153]

Dutch Leonard sure is enigmatic.

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

Ten guineas says she does!

[@shannonreed7794]

“London’s favorite host-ess.” Best part!

[@HeavyP-p6o]

Go for it! Go for it!

Andrea Martin - the Queen of Comedic Smoking and Lighter Tricks! 👑🔥

[@PJ-lp4lr]

Dutch Leonard Yvonne Cournoyer and Honey Pie Traynor. Women given athlete names. I am sure there are others I have missed.

[@senorsardonico6153]

Pumpsie Greene in “Gaslight”.

[@delmofritz3964]

Andrea Martinhad didn't have any movie success after SCTV which is amazing since she was so great. Somehow Hollywood couldn't harness that talent.

[@chazbott518]

It seemed as if she reserved that type of humor for her roles on SCTV.

[@OofusTwillip]

"Gertrude Stein, Gertrude Stein" is a parody of "Gerty, Gerty, Gerty Stein is Back, Back, Back!", a one-woman show starring Pat Bond as Gertrude Stein. It's on KZbin.

[@peztopher7297]

I thought it was also a pun on "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman".

[@ModMokkaMatti]

Does Dutch Leonard partake in the Dutch Oven-ing of bedmates?

[@steeltownbrown52]

1983, not 1984.

[@aiberlane3390]

Andrea always got the lesbian roles for some reason.

[@steeltownbrown52]

Catharine has done one or two (Shoot at the Stars).

[@granthurlburt4062]

Monty Python might do a skit with Gertrude Stein, SNL (which had many good shows), never! Well done Canada!

[@blackmanops3749]

I don't get it.

[@jeromehiggins9135]

He just had to say Pat Carroll to win me over.
