He has said that he wasn't against coming back to acting, he just needed something worth doing. He has finally found something that is important to him and it is VERY exciting. </p><div><figure><amp-anim src="https://legacy.throwbacks.com/content/images/2017/06/tumblr_nwj0pt6p721tpri36o1_250.gif" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-anim></figure></div><p>Everyone remembers Bob and Doug McKenzie, the hilarious brothers from the <strong>Great White North</strong> parody talk show that Moranis and Dave Thomas made together. The characters appeared on <strong>SCTV, Saturday Night Live</strong> and in the movie <strong>Strange Brew. </strong>Well, get ready for them to come back! </p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://legacy.throwbacks.com/content/images/2017/06/Strange_Brew02.jpg" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><p>Thomas has decided to host a benefit concert for his nephew Jake due to a spinal cord injury. He has asked many of his comedy buddies to help out and several have decided to join in, including <strong>Martin Short, Dan Aykroyd, Eugene Levy, Paul Shaffer</strong> and the one and only <strong>Rick Moranis. </strong></p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://legacy.throwbacks.com/content/images/2017/06/bobanddoug1.jpg" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><p></p><div align="center" data-freestar-ad="__336x280 __789x280" id="throwbacks_articles_video"> </div><p></p><p>The McKenzie brothers will be reuniting on stage to bring back their classic Canadian bits, and we could not be more thrilled. Hopefully this benefit concert will get broadcast in some way, whether it's on TV or online so we will all be able to witness his epic return. I wonder if he feels a lot of pressure coming back with so much attention surrounding him? </p><p><strong>Are you excited that Rick Moranis is making a mini comeback? </strong></p><p></p><amp-apester-media height="390" data-apester-media-id="59306ed1be3db6a6300af618"></amp-apester-media><p></p><div><div><div><amp-youtube height="9" width="16" layout="responsive" data-videoid="ssCZWBtwUTI"></amp-youtube></div></div></div><p><strong>Share if you are excited! </strong></p><p></p></div>
