ED GRIMLEY - AND CHRISTMAS -- WHAT A COMBO
This little gem was first broadcast in 1982 on SCTV and orignally run on SCTV. The SCTV program was a series of skits that portrayed a fictional television network. But you knew that already right?
This was Ed's first character appearance. There were some other characters he brought to the show that were less popular, (JOhnny Nucleo for one.. ) but Martin Short was most famous for Ed Grimley.
This character was later taken to Saturday Night Live for a few more hilarious rounds. It inspired a cartoon on NBC which was actually pretty good. It was entitled, "The COmpletely Mental Misadventuers of Ed Grimley. Martin Short would make live appearances in between cartoons and do funny bits.
He had aspirations to play in the New York Philharmonic with a musical triangle of all things. On Saturday Night Live Tina Turner actually blew into his apartment when he left his window wide open. He had nothing to feed his guest when she suddenly "popped in". All he had in his refridgerator was onions.
You get the idea...... he was very offbeat. And hilarious.
