I was a big SCTV fan back when it debuted. Possibly the best sketch comedy series to come out of this country. And Joe Flaherty's cast of characters like Guy Caballero and Count Floyd was no small part of that. Flaherty has passed away at 82 after an illness per a release from his family. Flaherty was actually an American who started with the original Second City in Chicago before moving to Canada to help start the Second City in Toronto and then SCTV.


Sad to lose Joe but it's also heartening to know that other SCTV cast member like Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara are still working in TV and movies. Beetlejuice 2, featuring Catherine reprising her role from the original, just released recently. Levy, of course, co-starred with his son Dan, a successful comedian, actor, and writer in his own right, in Schitt's Creek.
