|An excerpt from [http://rickmoranisfanpage.com/Articles/nov222006.html My Days Are Numbered], something [[Crowning Moment of Funny|funny]] Rick wrote.}}
Frederick Alan '''"Rick" Moranis''' was born on April 18th, 1953 in [[Toronto]], Ontario, Canada. He was a radio DJ in the 70's, and made it big on ''[[SCTV]]'' in 1979.
Originally intended to protest against government requirements for "Identifiable Canadian Content" on the show, Rick, along with ''SCTV'' cast mate Dave Thomas, thought up of Bob and Doug McKenzie, two half-wit, drunkard brothers who talk about various things on ''The Great White North''. However, despite the McKenzie Bros. being incredibly stereotypical characters, this all worked too well and made them [[Breakout Character|really popular with the audience]], so much that the U.S. version also included ''The Great White North'' skits. This also made the two comedians members of the [[Order of Canada]] due to their contribution.
