Intro To A Sketch
Open On: Home base or Limbo.
HOST 1:
(to Camera)
It is now our privilege...
HOST 2:
and responsibility.
HOST 1:
...to introduce our next group of performers. The Kids in the Hall show ran on the CBC from the mid 40’s.
Can you Photo-shop a mock-up of us as Old Coal Miners or Don Messer’s Jubilee that we either show or project?
HOST 2:
...And became popular in the late eighties. To understand the Kids in the Hall you have to understand the essence of Canada.
HOST 1:
A group of distinct identities that you could ignore separately but when you brought them all together...you could ignore them as a group.
HOST 2:
To understand what makes The Kids the way they are, you need to examine this.
Host 2 motions dramatically to a toaster.
HOST 2:
They grew up in a suburban pressure cooker, eating only toast day and night. None of them even saw a Kiwi until they were 28-years-old. And frankly it affected their brains.
Host 2 presses the toast down. Host 1 turns to a dollhouse.
HOST 1:
In their average Canadian town houses, they watched The Irish Rovers, Rocket Robin and Wok With Yan.
He reaches into the dollhouse and takes a tiny boy and a bed out.
HOST 1:
Their dreams became a nightmarish landscape of Friendly Giants, Galloping Gourmets and Hampsters who were hammy.
HOST 2:
The Hockey Night in Canada Theme became cacophonous jazz in their heads. What works would these five produce?
HOST 1:
What works could they produce? Let us see. |
