RIP funny man!
It was a shame that they wouldn't work with each other after groundhog day

This scene makes me laugh every time.



What always amazed me what he wasn't a primary actor. His skills were so distributed yet so strong. Has anybody portrayed a nerd as well as he did with Egon?

Was Harold only on SCTV during the Chicago years? Not the ones where the show was produced in Edmonton?

I remember reading years ago that Ramis and Murray had not talked for almost 20 years due to bickering on their last collaboration and their estrangement really bothered me. It's a shame they did not see each other again until it was almost too late.

I don't think the television show was ever made in Chicago. Toronto or Edmonton?

Yes, only in the early seasons in Toronto (which were produced by Global).

Harold did a ton of the sketch writing in the early days of SCTV. His Mo Green character is one of my favourite things ever.

If I remember his character was kidnapped by a terrorist group and demand a $2000.00 ransom to be paid for his release. Guy Cabellarro deemed that as exorbinant and Mo was replaced by Edith Brickley.

Man I loved that show.

Yeah, that was all caused by Ground Hog Day, Bill Murray wanted it to be a completely different movie, he wanted it to be a lot more serious and dramatic. Ramis wanted it to be a comedy and won the battle.

After that they didn't talk at all.

Couldn't believe it when I heard. Way too early.

Thanks for the laughs Mr. Ramis.

Sad news. But now he can be a ghost in GB3. Needs to be done. Egon nerding it out from beyond the grave would be chalk full of awesomeness.

He also made some good movies. Played Rogans dad in knocked up. Seemed like a cool dad in that movie.
