Comedian And 'SCTV' Star Joe Flaherty Has Died At 82

Comedian And 'SCTV' Star Joe Flaherty Has Died At 82

Comedian Joe Flaherty, a founding member of the Canadian sketch series “SCTV,” has died. He was 82.

His daughter Gudrun said Tuesday that Flaherty died Monday following a brief illness.

Flaherty, who was born in Pittsburgh, spent seven years at The Second City in Chicago before moving north of the border to help establish the theater’s Toronto outpost.

He went on to star alongside John Candy and Catherine O’Hara in “SCTV,″ about a fictional TV station known as Second City Television that was stacked with buffoons in front of and behind the cameras. Flaherty’s characters included network boss Guy Caballero and the vampiric TV host Count Floyd. He won Emmys in 1982 and 1983 for his writing on “SCTV” and continued to work in TV and film for decades.

He was introduced to later generations through memorable turns as a jeering heckler in the 1996 film “Happy Gilmore” and as an old-fashioned dad in the TV comedy “Freaks and Geeks,” which ran from 1999 to 2000.

Paul Reubens, the actor and comedian whose character Pee-wee Herman became a cultural phenomenon through films and TV shows, has died.

Reubens died Sunday night after a six-year struggle with cancer that he did not make public, his publicist said in a statement.

“Please accept my apology for not going public with what I’ve been facing the last six years,” Reubens said in a statement released with the announcement of his death. “I have always felt a huge amount of love and respect from my friends, fans and supporters. I have loved you all so much and enjoyed making art for you.”

One of my many favourite Gregory Peck movies 🥰

Let’s see now, up until ten the night before, everything was crystal clear. I was having a couple of drinks with some newspaper friends celebrating the $1200 dollars I’d won. $1200 dollars?! All I had now were three tens and a handful of silver. Some newspaper men drink too much.

See what I mean about their voice acting? They mimic each other's in-character vocal inflections perfectly.

Hate how whenever a female character in play/movie is played by a man in drag, it's always as a way to show how ugly/old/unsophisticated said female character is. It's never a genuine "this female character happens to be played by a man in drag", it's always "we're having a man in drag play this female character to highlight how undesirable she is, aren't we funny?" Like aside from the obvious transphobia and mockery of gender nonconformity, there's also the misogynistic insinuation that undesirable women aren't even worth being played by a woman, that they're not woman enough just by virtue of not being attractive.
