It's a pleasure watching hilarious Martin Short and Harold Ramis with lovely Catherine O'Hara (she's in Schitt's Creek, Beetlejuice, Best in Show, Home Alone, etc). Short has done some fun characters over the years in TV and films; my fave is interviewer Jiminy Glick. Short once said there could never be an Ed Grimley movie because we couldn't take the character for more than a few minutes, LOL. True. I loved when Ed would dance and play his triangle on SNL to the Hungarian dance #5 by Brahms ... pure joy.
In his autobiography - 'I Must Say, My Life as a Humble Comedy Legend' - Martin Short tells that this sketch (originated at Second City Toronto) was his first time doing Ed Grimley in a sketch. It's nice to see it recreated.
I read that part today! John Candy originated the role and Marty, believing he couldn't compete with him, took it in a whole new direction. I remember seeing this version when I was a kid on HBO (still have the VHS floating around somewhere) so I was so delighted when he was describing it cause I knew exactly what he was talking about when his realization that he's out of his league (00:46) always got the biggest laugh and that moment taught him so much about comedy. also Catherine looks absolutely stunning here and RIP Harold
@@lifegood1712 OMG! If you folks don't know Catherine as the (figurative) red-hot mama from SCTV, you're missing out beyond belief! Here's a nice selection of her more notable characters & sketches: czcams.com/video/WvHGW468n44/video.html (I'm sure we'll count Flaw'd among those who spot her Schitt's Creek co-star Eugene Levy in here as well...)
@Flaw'd O'Hara, co-stars Eugene Levy & John Hemphill, and writer Michael Short from the Schitt's Creek Tele Vision show all are alums of SCTV going back to the ealy 1980s! See: czcams.com/play/PL1cHIYPbp3xEWIW8mmECbMqBVkpCxbTIo.html
imagine how great of a comedian you must be to perform in this skit and not laugh. O'Hara not cracking once while looking at Grimley might be the best "straight face" in comedy history
Yeah, but she was doing it back at him, where the audience couldn't see. Mirroring a hilarious thing is a good way not to break. And it must've been fun, too.
are tapes or DVDs of SCTV available somewhere? that show was phenomenal John Candy, Andrea Martin, Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy, Dave Thomas, Rick Moranis, Martin Short, Harold Ramis, Joe Flaherty,....who am I forgetting? Faves of all time--the Mackenzie Brothers and Tex and Edna Boyle's Organ Emporium....too funny
I am reading Short's book 'I Must Say". Apparently this clip may be the first appearance of Ed Grimley, or very shortly thereafter. The interviewer turns out to be the younger brother of Dan Akroyd ... :)
+Acerara176 Crap, you seem to be right ... how could I have missed that? It clearly is Harold Ramis. I was so caught up in the book ... maybe I have mis- remembered as well because Martin Short would likely not have made that mistake, so it was ME who is in error. Sorry, and thank you for the correction. Gonna have to read that book again ... that is certainly Harold Ramis.
+Wellington J. Flute In the book he says the piece was for Second City, this is clearly a comic relief benefit. You might want to try re-reading the book
+jetnut89 I'll have to go to the library and get it again ... it was a fast and good read so should be okay ... I don't think it was from a benefit though. Although he did do a few benefits after several years on 'top' so to speak, this skit, just judging by the relative age of all the parties, was very early in their careers. Second City seems a good fit here, or even the time on SNL? You've go me wondering myself now.
Unfortunately, you cut off the payoff at the end. Great sketch with some of my favorites from SCTV. I remember watching it from the first Comic Relief.
It was nice she wasn't credited so I had the surprise of realising it was her. On the other hand it isn't nice because, this is a skit about unequal treatment in the workplace. But then again she did get extra comments ...

It is patently unfair for Catherine O’Hara to be that quick witted and funny and look like that
Tell me about it... she's drop-dead GORGEOUS!
Yes BUT she had trouble suppressing a laugh when Martin Short started leering at her.
@@georgesotiroff5080 To be fair, I'd have too.
She fucking SIZZLES
Yes, so much for "hot girls aren't funny"
When even Harold Ramis is having trouble holding it together you know you're funny.
"Aw, gee, that was sad. I thought it was closer, and yet it wasn't." is such a goddam funny line delivery. Martin Short is a genius.
Pure
Underrated genius
Nice language.
R.I.P Harold Ramis. We will all greatly miss you.
Catherine O'Hara was quite beautiful back then. Actually she still is.
I miss Ed Grimley. One of the most unique, crazy and funny characters ever created!!!
O'hara was such a hottie!😍😍
Martin Short is a comic genius (I must say). Catherine O hara is absolutely stunning here. She's such a beauty and a talented comic and actress.
Catherine was such a FOX, and a darned fine actress too.
And I bet she coula easily taken Grimly 2 out of 3 if he hadn't caught her off guard!
@@kenlieck7756 Ed definitely jumped the gun... omg. It's (not) Daniel Johnston. Quite decent, I must say.
WAS?
To me Cathrine O’Haire is still a sexy fox
She was, at best, a 6 in her prime.
I've been thinking of Ed Grimley lately and finding him on you tube. This is the funniest skit so far.
“So when al’s away you take care of the gas station?”
“....alright..?”
He's so funny, I must say!
Catherine O'hara is such a beauty!

hillarious the way they looked at each other, martin of course trying to get catherine to break.
He got her to with "All right."

Jaleel White said he got the inspiration for Steve Urkel from Ed Grimley. Facts

I'd love to see Ed Grimley get interviewed by Jiminy Glick
Comedy itself would implode!!!!!
Cannot divide by zero
My head would explode from JOY
I’d like to see that, I must say...
That one time on “The Martin Short Show”-
Some of the greatest skits with certainly some of the greatest cast!
God how I miss good TV...

LMAO! That character, Ed Grimley is such a tool! It's almost too hilarious to watch.
There was so much more to this sketch that got cut out. Including Catherine talking about the executive vice president at Dewey Cheatum & Howe
Extremely funny, I must say.

Ca-CAW!
LOVE Ed Grimley!!!!!!
the patented,( and very gay ), .....hand on the hip, ( thumb forward ).....gesture, is pure GRIMLEY.......thank you ED.....
I’ve always loved Ed Grimley, one of my all-time favorite comedic fictional characters. Martin Short at his very best.
"I must say!"
from one Chicagoan to another, RIP Harold ramis.
The best Ed Grimley....too bad they cut out the ending but this is great.
I ❤ Ed Grimley! 😂😂😂
AWESOME clip. It's like a slot, you know. and a zippered bag I must say.
It’s kinda like a s l o t, you know?

Yeah, but she was doing it back at him, where the audience couldn't see. Mirroring a hilarious thing is a good way not to break. And it must've been fun, too.
Three of my all time favorites I must say.
You cut off before the BEST line. Catherine 'O Hara storms out mad, Ed says "Maybe she's on her period!"
Really does say it all what your sense of humour's like if such low-hanging fruit is the "BEST" line.
The mom from Beetlejuice and Home Alone is hot af.
This is my luckiest of lucky days I must say!😂
wow..home alone...ghost busters and ed grimley? nice show btw!!!!
Catherine O'Hara was so beautiful!
Classic 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Katherine looked pretty good here ...
It's spelled with a C not K, but Marty's daughter's name is spelled with a K
Haha ok he is from another dimension.
love it! I must say, ya she IS a fine actress... beetljuice , schitz creek, hmmm what else??
You ring my triangle!
As someone was saying in a thread re: the new Pee Wee Herman film for Netflix: now, why can't we get an Ed Grimley movie?
Or, team them up!
So gorgeous, yet so talented. And Catherine O’Hara isn’t bad either. 😆
Catherine O'Hara yummy,wow!Canadian beauty :-)
how the hell did Catherine keep it together
Way to go Ed.
This is the first Ed Grimley sketch, being recreated (floabt) by the original Second City actors.
and yes, Catherine O'Hara is DELICIOUS here
are tapes or DVDs of SCTV available somewhere? that show was phenomenal
John Candy, Andrea Martin, Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy, Dave Thomas, Rick Moranis, Martin Short, Harold Ramis, Joe Flaherty,....who am I forgetting?
Faves of all time--the Mackenzie Brothers and
Tex and Edna Boyle's Organ Emporium....too funny
THIS GUY unnerves me to the core, his cartoon show freaked me out as a kid. A horrible memory from pandora´s box.
Lmao I loved that cartoon!
LOVED that show ("The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley"). Sad that you didn't / don't get the humor of it
me too
Catherine O'hara was fucking cute!
Mr. Bean borrowed Ed's dance in 1990. Hard to believe.
RIP Harold
a young bernie sanders.
Bernie was never this funny. But he's a lot weirder than Ed Grimley
How so?
The oddest character ever. Martin Short is brilliant.
omg look at his hair!
And by "his hair" I mean Harold Ramis' hair.
He's a babe.
oh man ... classic comedy!

If anybody didn’t know, Ed Grimley is how Jaleel White envisioned Stephen Q. Urkel💯

Ed should have had the movie success PeeWee Herman got.
cocaine i must say
He totally cheated on that arm wrestle, holding on to her arm with his other hand.
“...KEVIN!”
hahahaha
sexism.
hilarious.
@msa1985 Yes is funny but you baby and not yet have sophisticated enough comedy palette plus you made me type like this not funny
Love E. Grimley. HATE J. Glick. Anyone else?
Not a single funny joke here
