All this week, ET Canada is celebrating SNL“s big anniversary with a look back at 40 years of laughter.
In tonight’s show, we celebrate the Canadian stars who brought SNL to new heights, including original “Not Ready for Primetime Player”; Dan Aykroyd, Martin Short (who made a huge impact on the show despite only sticking around for one season) and Mike Myers, who parlayed his iconic SNL character Wayne Campbell into two Wayne’s World feature films.
