SCTV was created to compete with SNL. It kept many Canadian comedians in Canada, like John Candy, Eugene Levy, and Catherine O’Hare though some also did SNL—like Marin Short.
I am saying Kkds in the Hall filled the comedy
void in Canada left by SCTV. You can disagree about that I guess.
I honestly fucking hate this trend. If I wanted to know what an LLM would say about something, I would ask it myself. Shit like this is not a substitute for human interaction.
This Hour Has 22 Minutes is not “Canadian SNL”
SNL is Canadian SNL. Lorne Michaels is from Toronto and he scouts most of his talent from Canada.
Just another example of Americans not having any clues about anything outside their borders and not even caring enough to bother to find out either.
Bro, I’ve never even heard of this website. Way to baselessly generalize every American, even those that might otherwise align with you.
It’s not a website, it’s a TV show that’s been on the air since 1993 (~32 years)
It’s much better than SNL.
Clicked this post to say just that
I used to call Boys in the Hall Canadian SNL.
Uh, Kids in the Hall?
Hey, I’m old. I gots the memory problems.
Seriously though, it’s been about 30 years since I’ve seen it.
Kids in the Hall kind of replaced SCTV which was meant to compete with SNL.
Different formats though.
Nope. Lorne Michaels produced both Kids in the Hall and SNL, many cast migrated over.
I have no idea what you are trying to say.

right??? how dare they insult Anglo Infoman like this /j
to bad. I would look up and try to watch this show if is was a canadian sketch commedy show.
Didn’t know about this show and I just subbed with Jellyseer. Being from the US I hate US TV.
It can be hot or miss, but if you’re into Canadian politics it’s been very hit this year.
Are you saying Trent McClellan’s dead on Greg Fergus impression isn’t gonna play well in the states?
How would you describe it?
“This Hour Has 22 Minutes”
This
Hour
Has
22
It’s closer to The Daily Show.
I’d say more like a slightly political Carol Burnett show.
“The Onion” in video form.
It is right in the name, “This Hour Has 22 Minutes” is a comedic parody of 60 Minutes and shows like it.
I asked my Chinese AI and it offered this:
This Hour Has 22 Minutes
Mock newsmagazine; sharp, focused, satirical. Cynical, biting, “gotcha” journalism parody. Mostly pre-taped and tightly edited.
Saturday Night Live
Live variety show; broad, chaotic, character-driven. Silly, absurd, celebratory, sometimes clumsy.
I honestly fucking hate this trend. If I wanted to know what an LLM would say about something, I would ask it myself. Shit like this is not a substitute for human interaction.
Also, you couldn’t pay me to publicly advertise that my ability to look up information had so completely atrophied.
