An Alex Trebek-clone quizzes high school youngsters in this SCTV skit. This is diverse than the “Night School High Q” that can be discovered elsewhere on YouTube. As an aside, I have been crazy about Catherine O’Hara for several years and her portrayal of Margaret Meehan in this skit was one of the 1st times I saw her. I predict that you, too, will fall under Margaret Meehan’s spell!

5 People went to Parkdale!
cathrine o hara was/is so underated…..she just speaks so funny..
This is more like “In the Know” on PBS
“Well that’s what I meant”
“Well you didn’t say that!”
The way she says
“the Beatles”
Hahahahaha!
LMAO !!!
@kagiso3741 Well, then you didn’t get it. I didn’t need it explained.
@devtrev I think it was just a smart alec made up name that a high school student might give .. but it isnt funny if you have to explain it .. like I just did ..
I love how John Candy’s character is named Peter Townsend for absolutely no reason – and it’s spelled wrong to boot. Genius.
Margaret Meehan…Henry Miller, Victor Hugo, and Jerry Lewis….THEN on nitetime HI Q…the Beatles,
@ftsjr: Maybe back then, it did, for community college.
Well, that’s what I meant. Keep your grubby fingers off the buzzer…………Way to goooo Bridgeman. Way to Go Townssendddddd. That’s what I said. Come on. I’ll take you on.
The honesty’s Too Much??
A $250 college scholarship? That wouldn’t pay for half your books for one semester. RIP John Candy.
@miniredsatan, I bow humbly.
@fredhetz rock on fred! you rule for posting up sctv.
@miniredsatan, you should know that I wish to marry Margaret Meehan. When the wedding takes place, you will be invited.
margaret meehan is GOD!! henry miller?? victor hugo? hahahahaha…..oh, 30 years old and still CLASSIC!
@logancody05, you’re exactly right. Levy has always gotten the most out of his face, including his eyes.
Watch it again, and if you haven’t already done so, concentrate on Eugene Levy’s eyes. They’re extremely expressive, and bring home the full array of emotions that Alex is experiencing.
Way to go Townsend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“love to love ya, baby”. LOL
@logancody05 You took the words right out of my mouth! So true!

@GlobalPunditOrg, I thrive on minutiae, especially when it concerns Catherine O’Hara! Thank you.
@fredhetz the name of the ‘character’ O’Hara played was also the actual name of her mother – & the school she went to!…minutiae, but hey!…
Cathy Mifsud!
