Famous Canadian comedy duo who did special satires going back in time to satire everything and anything. If your a Generation Xor then you will probably remember Wayne & Shuster on the CBC as well as you remember the multiple choice "Are you a drug addict?" test quiz's with video clips of someone on angel dust.

In the early days of television, the CBC was renowned for its Wayne and Shuster specials four times a year starring JOHNNY WAYNE and FRANK SHUSTER. They became popular during the Second World War for their comedy routines in The Army Show, going overseas with the troupe in 1942.

Today there is little information online about them. One of them has passed on, tell us which one!

Editor's note: Johnny Wayne passed away in 1990, from cancer.
