Catherine O’Hara As Lynda Carter/Wonder Woman On SCTV

Things have been pretty quiet on the Wonder Woman front lately, apart from the FANTASTIC Wonder Woman #1, so I thought we’d have a bit of fun with this clip from SCTVSCTV was a comedy show in the late 1970s and early 1980s that ran in Canada regularly and in the US for a couple years.  In this clip, “Tom Brokraw” (Dave Thomas) interviews “Lynda Karter” (Catherine O’Hara) in her Wonder Woman outfit, and the interview does not go well:

That’s a surprisingly well-researched bit… the Paradise Island reference was classy!!  Though all of SCTV is classy really.  They’re the folks behind Bob and Doug McKenzie and Johnny La Rue and about a billion hilarious Joe Flaherty characters.  Well there goes the rest of my night… if anyone needs me, I’ll be on Youtube watching SCTV clips.  Man, I could watch Sammy Maudlin forever.
