Rick Moranis will be part of an upcoming reunion special for the sketch comedy series "SCTV" in Toronto.

Organizers say Moranis is confirmed to join previously announced "SCTV" cast members Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short and Dave Thomas.

Moranis hasn't been as visible on the public stage as some of the other cast members in recent years and wasn't initially expected to be a part of the reunion.

Meanwhile, CTV has announced it's joining Netflix to become the exclusive Canadian broadcast partner of the special, which will air in 2019.

Martin Scorsese will direct the special, which explores the enduring legacy of the Emmy Award-winning Canadian series "Second City Television."

On Sunday, late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel will moderate "An Afternoon with SCTV" panel taping in front of a live audience at the Elgin Theatre in Toronto.

"SCTV" ran from 1976 to 1984 and helped launch the careers of many famed international comic legends, including the late John Candy and Harold Ramis.

The special will air on Netflix in all territories, with the exception of Canada, where it will premiere exclusively on CTV.

Following CTV's airing, the special will be available exclusively on Netflix in Canada and worldwide.

quoted scenes...

-Dad barks out orders to get more beer, after Bob and Doug drank the last Elsinore beer in the house. Unfortunately, Bob had given away the beer money earlier in the evening and the boys had to concoct a plan to obtain free beer.

-Bob and Doug unsuccessfully try to get free beer by placing a mouse in an empty Elsinore beer bottle. They then bring it to the local beer store to obtain a free case of beer. The store clerk is not buying the story and kicks them out of the store.

-When Bob & Doug drive up to the Brewery in their van, they clearly see a road sign that shows "Elsinore Brewery" to the left, and to the right is "Canadian Institute for the Criminally Insane"

-When the brothers first meet Brew Meister Smith, he is introduced to them by Pam Elsinore while he is taste-testing some of the fresh beer from the large copper vats. He later attempts to "control the world" by adding a secret ingredient to Elsinore beer, which he tests on the inmates of the nearby asylum.

-In one of the funniest scenes of the film, Bob & Doug are shown still sitting in the van under water, after it crashes into the harbor. When the rescue divers approach the door, Bob & Doug can be seen breathing the air from beer bottles floating on the roof of the van.
