A comprehensive compilation documenting the huge influence that Canadian-born performers have had on American comedy, especially over the last 30 years or so, Comedy Gold features an impressive lineup: Dan Aykroyd, Martin Short, Dave Foley, Eric McCormack, Andrea Martin, Dave Thomas, Tommy Chong, Howie Mandel, and Tom Green, among other Canadian funsters who've made significant contributions to film, television, theater, and standup comedy in the U.S. Over the course of three hours worth of film clips, TV sketches, and interview footage, Comedy Gold makes a persuasive case that our neighbors to the north are “distinctive in their unflagging desire to mock pretentiousness” and “have developed an ironic approach to life.” Boasting one of the highest laugh quotients of any DVD release this year, this is definitely recommended.
