Welcome to The Second City Archives, in which we post an exclusive clip each week of some of comedy’s biggest superstars performing early in their careers on the legendary Chicago stage. Second City has generously given us a glimpse into their extensive archive of live performances, and over the coming weeks we’ll be sharing some rare and retro comedy never before seen on the web.
To pay tribute to the passing of comedy legend Robin Williams, this week Second City has released three exclusive sketches from his appearance on SCTV in 1982. First up is the above sketch “Movie of the Week: The Bowery Boys in the Band” costarring Joe Flaherty, John Candy, Martin Short, Eugene Levy, and Don Lake. Click through to watch Williams in the spotlight in two other SCTV sketches “An Evening with John Houseman” and “Church of Unlimited Credit.”
