The name of the recurring character 'Earl Camembaert' on
SCTV (1976),
played by
Eugene Levy, was a parody of Earl Cameron's days as newsreading
anchor of the CBC National News (1959--1966)[
The National (1952)]. In the period
just before his retirement,
Lloyd Robertson read the news on the weekends,
hence
Joe Flaherty's character 'Floyd Robertson'.
