the sctv news with Floyd Robertson and Earl Camembert
One of the first recurring sketches on SCTV, the SCTV News
featured Floyd Robertson (Joe Flaherty),
the competent hard news anchor, and Earl Camembert (Eugene Levy),
the earnest but never on-target newsman. Whether showing up at a new
deli instead of New Dehli, getting high while investigating the perils
of marijuana, or contributing hard-hitting items on Tootsie Rolls, Earl
never quite hit the mark. Floyd (whose alter ego is Monster Chiller
Horror Theatre host Count
Floyd) could always be relied upon to deliver the story and to play
Earl for the fool (especially on Thusdays).
