[@johnmccandles2197]

Yes, I always feel like he's waving goodbye to us.

Same with PT&A. John Hughes knew how to capture Candy's charm and they really feel like tributes now that he's gone.

John Candy started doing movies in the mid-70s, but it was his time on the Canadian sketch comedy show SCTV that made him a household name. SCTV had several comedic talents who went on to become big names in the 80s, including Rick Moranis, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara and Martin Short.

[@jmominis]

Back then I was babysitting on Friday evenings and they had a tiny 12” B&W TV and it was Love Boat, Fantasy Island and SCTV. Candy was hilarious. Harry; the guy with a snake on his face”, Yosh Schmenge, Billy Sol Hurok, Johnny LaRue, Dr. Tongue: 3d house of…😂😂😂 he was great!

Uncle Buck has always been at the top of my favorite John Candy movies. Another one I highly recommend is the Great Outdoors with the duo of John Candy and Dan Aykroyd.

Summer Rental is the classic for me. And the one in the cabin...

"Summer Rental" never really gets mentioned among John's films, but I always really enjoyed it. 👍💯

John Candy was not in fact a member of SNL, but was a cast member of SCTV. Some of his castmates included Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Christopher Guest, Martin Short, Rick Moranis, and Fred Willard.

[@michaeldmcgee4499]

Count Floyd, Bill Needle, Edith Prickley - I loved that show!

[@hellomark1]

I just learned recently he's the "most-burned potential host" of SNL: "Candy appeared on Saturday Night Live twice (hosting in 1983) while still appearing on SCTV. According to writer-comedian Bob Odenkirk, Candy was reputedly the 'most-burned potential host' of SNL, in that he was asked to host many times, only for plans to be changed by the SNL staff at the last minute."

[@RichardM1366]

John Candy was a great actor who left us way too soon! He was excellent in Uncle Buck. He had a great sense of humor and never failed to deliver the best performance. Uncle Buck was a uncle who knew how to get things done. It is worth viewing again and again!

[@rollmops7948]

Uncle Buck was playing on the clarinet "Polka Polka Polka", back in the truck, for Kevin Mc Allister's mom....

[@Gr8movies12]

John Candy was one of the most kind, friendly, just pure decent human beings there ever was. He’s incredibly missed. I recommend all his films. Canadian Bacon is highly underrated, Stripes is great and The Great Outdoors is a lot of fun too.

[@MattHolstein]

Fun Fact: "Bug" in real life went on to become a Baptist Pastor. He lived in a town near me for many years. Great guy.

[@mcgilj1]

Awesome to hear..I loved him in Not Quite Human and The Boy Who Could Fly.. He was truly an underrated actor.

In the '90s, *Jay Underwood* was excellent as *Sonny Bono* in the TV biopic *_And the Beat Goes On: The Sonny and Cher Story,_* portraying him from ages *26* to *52.* The film was *Emmy-nominated* for *Best Makeup,* *Best Hairstyling,* and *Best Music Direction,* but *Underwood* and *Renee Faia,* who did an incredible *Cher,* were totally snubbed for *Best Actor* and *Best Actress* despite the movie receiving *good ratings/notices* when it originally aired on *ABC.*

Oh wow, just realised John Candy was 30 years dead just a few weeks back. Still miss him. By this point I guess I was starting to age out of John Hughes (or telling myself I was at least, the way kids do when they're desperate to be grown up :) but "Uncle Buck" is still a favourite. Totally agree, it really is just the perfect showcase for Candy's talent.

[@jamespfp]

1:23 -- RE: "How did John Candy get famous?"; A: Shortest answer, he became quite well known for performing with the "Second City" Improv comedy enterprise which started in Chicago but had connections to Toronto as well as Los Angeles. Candy and other Canucks formed a spin-off called "SCTV" which was a direct competitor with SNL, only it was Canadian. That's also where Bob and Doug Mackenzie came from.... #GreatWhiteNorth

🔔 JEN @ 1:29: "Candy first rose to national prominence in the 1970s as a member of the Toronto branch of the Second City and its (Canadian version of SNL, called SCTV, a) sketch comedy series. He rose to international fame in the 1980s with his roles in comedic films such as Stripes, Splash, Brewster's Millions, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Spaceballs, The Great Outdoors, Uncle Buck, and Cool Runnings. He also appeared in supporting roles in The Blues Brothers, National Lampoon's Vacation, Little Shop of Horrors, and Home Alone, and featured in dramatic roles in Only the Lonely and JFK.

Hi Jen, good reaction. I hadn't seen this film but now it feels like I have. 99 percent sure you would like Splash if you haven't already seen it. At least two alums of SCTV are in it, Candy and Eugene Levy. Speaking of classic tv comedy, I preferred SCTV to SNL back in the day, it was just funnier. Lots of UTube clips to be seen but my favorite is the parody of the high school quiz show, with Levy playing Alex Trebec. The whole cast is there, so good.

YT search, ‘Dr. Tongue’s 3-D House Of Cats,’ or, ‘The Shmenge Brothers,’ or, ‘The Queen Haters,’ and experience the very soul of Canadian comedy in all its low budget, filmed in Edmonton, pass me another beer, glory... forgive me, I’m a little overwhelmed by the thick nostalgia of it all...
