Comedy Now!

Terry McGurrin

CTV · 1999 · 30 min

A 1999 television debut from the Ottawa comedian and voice actor.

Before he became a prolific voice actor and the official voice of Snoopy, Terry McGurrin was a working Ottawa-born comic dealing out tight, observational club sets. Titled “The Full Monkey,” this set marks his first of a record-setting three appearances on the CTV and Comedy Network series Comedy Now!, catching a comedian right as he figures out how to translate stage energy to a broadcast audience.

Aired in late 1999, the half-hour is a clean artifact of the late-90s Canadian stand-up boom. McGurrin relies on steady pacing rather than gimmicks, presenting the polished material that earned him a spot on national television. It functions as a tightly constructed time capsule of a professional hitting a major career milestone.
