This significant figure in TV sketch comedy of the late 1970s and early 80s has been busy ever since as a producer, director and writer. Arguably the brightest light of the stellar cast of "SCTV", Thomas became known for his dead-on celebrity impressions--his Bob Hope and Walter Cronkite were uncanny if a bit harsh--and iconoclastic wit. His Hope was a mean-spirited egotist utterly dependent on his writers while his Cronkite was a borderline senile windbag. Thomas worked particularly well with fellow writer-performer Rick Moranis who played Woody Allen to Thomas's Hope in a splendid sketch
