Bill also mentions that Brent Butt wanted Van for the role of "Oscar" on Corner Gas.
(The original link I posted appears to produce a warning, although I don't know why; so here is a diiferent one.)

Sorry guys. I don't know why the links are triggering warnings. Myself and other have posted links to Bill's work in the past; without any problems.

It's a shame his career hit the decline of variety shows in the 1970s. He would have been great either as host of either a variety show or a straight-up sketch show - he easily could have hosted a show like Bizarre but that show was actually an American show that happened to be produced in Canada - and that Glenn-Warren bought into - so the headliner etc were Americans.
