John Candy on Letterman - As Devine As Peter Pan 1982

What's up with his hair tho 😂

He was fast

I just realized that the band who gave kevins mom a ride in home alone was a hat tip to the polka skit on sctv

Some of the light went out of the world when John Candy died.

it's odd today to think that Letterman was on the air at the same time as SCTV

One of only handful of actors who producers encouraged him to improvise scenes when appearing in a movie. Candy was that good. He was one of the best natural comedic actors of our time. The audience could really identify with his roles on the big screen. Amazing wit and a gigantic heart.

John was a heavy smoker. Partially to blame for poor health.

Rest in peace, dude.

Such a great guy, incredibly sweet & funny RIP John❤️❤️❤️

My dad was looked a bit like John Candy/John Belushi and had a similar sense of humor. He was a wonderfully funny guy for my sister and I growing up. The ultimate version of John Candy that my dad was when 'The Great Outdoors' came out. That was my dad almost to a "T", haha.

Super talented....a Natural really.

Oh now I remember. John Candy came out with his hair like that because the guest before him, Natassja Kinski, came out with her hair teased in the upward position. Yeah, I saw this when it aired.

John Candy was legend it's sad he left us

I will always be such a huge fan of this marvelous amazing funny guy. You are so missed John Candy.

can i pat the puppies scene of mice & men classic

Strange Brew was in production - classic !

We’re so proud of him ❤️🇨🇦

is he high on coke?

John was a good man. The good ones leave us to soon.

When David said “ you’re regarded as a funny actor “ John should have responded with Am I ?

His sincerity is beautiful

I miss John Candy and SCTV. It was on after SNL ( original cast) in Chicago.

I hope John Candy believed in Jesus

I almost wish he wrote an autobiography. But I just dont think he would have done that. Just because he didnt want people in on that world. But I bet some time in the future. They end up making a biopic on him.

I can see why they picked him after a small interview
Hes funny even without trying

Big hair.

Been to Second City in Chicago . Tried to get an Audition but they wouldn't give me a chance

Remember when smoking was okay everywhere?

The comic timing he has is next level.

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD. (Psalms 14:1-4)

John Franklin Candy (Newmarket, Ontario; 31 de octubre de 1950-Victoria de Durango, Durango; 4 de marzo de 1994) fue un actor cómico canadiense, que realizó la mayor parte de su carrera en los Estados Unidos.

John Candy was a sweetheart.

Funny thing is that John's hair looks better than Dave's

I just realized "You Can't Do THAT on Television" was basically SCTV for kids

They pelted me with rocks and garbage

Just making a serious face with crazy hair and people are laughing. I love comedians like that. Such an awareness of themselves.

He couldn't help but be funny. It came so naturally. He possessed such a unique comedic gift.

I'm there 😂

The original Ryan Reynolds.

oh gosh I remember watching this episode! It was so funny because the previous guest was Nastassja Kinski who had her hair spraying and sticking straight up. It was a pretty awkward interview and she playing with her hair for a good deal of it. John Candy coming out like that really changed the whole mood in the room as you can hear 🙂

I remember watching this at the time. The prior guest, some woman who I can't remember... I wanna say Isabella Rosselini, but whoever it was, her hair was sticking straight up, so John came out like that! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Such a good improviser … John could 'Yes And …' anything

RIP Candyman

The irony is that it actually looks better than Dave's hair 40 years later

Candy was the Goat

Sctv on yt 😂

God bless John Candy for making me laugh as much as he did, in my life!

Love him, like seriously
