One of the funniest men of all time was John Candy from his time on SCTV to his hall of fame run of movies that kept us in stitches for decades. But, truth be told I never really knew that much about him so, I am excited to see this movie.

If you asked Tank why he got in to radio he will tell you “Some kids wanted to be Zach Morris. I wanted to be ‘Dr’ Johnny Fever.” There isn’t anything else in the world that Tank could see himself doing.
