The Love Guru

The Love Guru is Mike Myers new comedic vehicle to ridicule his Canadian roots. Seems Mike is paying homage to a famous skit from John Byner’s Bizarre TV show from the 80’s when he meditates and pulls his legs all over the place. John Byner was notorious for using famous midget actor Billy Barty on his show. I wonder if that was the inspiration for Mini-me? Bizarre was one of those shows that dared to be different and had a politically non-correct bit called the "Bigot Family" that has since been cut out in syndication. After watching the trailer of Love Guru I am left with a sense of nostalgia for Bizarre. There was a famous actor that was on that show that went on to bigger things. If you guessed it was Mike Myers, you would be right. He played John Byner’s nephew on the show.
