In 1980, “SCTV”. You want “Casablanca”? “Forget about that one,” says SCTV station manager Edith Prickley (Andrea Martin), glaring at us through her catʹs-eye glasses. “Weʹve got a film classic for you tonight that youʹre gonna love: 'Play It Again, Bob,' starring Bob Hope and Woody Allen. Youʹll love it!” In a brief but gloriously funny run that began in the late 1970s, SCTV consistently skewered pop culture, never more adroitly than in this sketch, which featured Dave Thomas, doing his peerless Bob Hope imitation, and Rick Moranis, dead-on as Woody Allen. Premise: Allen dreams of finally seeing his idol in a good movie — a Woody Allen movie, for instance. The two clash immediately: Woody wants Diane Keaton to costar, Hope is thinking Joey Heatherton and complains that Keaton doesnʹt have…He holds two imaginary cantaloupes. Allen cringes. “Whatʹs with the hands? You want an actress with arthritis?” Even the intercession of a ghostly Bing Crosby (Joe Flaherty, also terrific) canʹt smooth things over. Itʹs an altogether outlandish and inspired collision of comic sensibilities. In the end, Allen comes around to Hopeʹs way of thinking, and theyʹre off to entertain the troops together. You were right, Edith. We love it.
