I've never heard a bad word said about any member of SCTV, ever, in any capacity. Perhaps the most-liked brilliant comedic performers ever.

Let's turn this piece of shit into another version of "The Room" or "Rocky Horror." Lines, throwing things at the screen, costumes, the whole shebang.

Most don't know this, but the new film "Melania" ends with a collection of outtakes, similar to those in 1970s movies such as "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Cannonball Run." Some even feature Melania in a hot-air balloon and joking around with an orangutan in a cowboy hat who gives the middle finger!
