Tribute 1989 - Uncle Buck

















For the June/July 1989 issue of Tribute, Jim Slotek had an interview with John on the set of ‘Uncle Buck’ in Chicago.

At the very start of the article is written that “John Candy has tended to come off as a Hardy-without-Laurel in recent years”. I guess John took that as a compliment, especially when you take into consideration that he mentioned Laurel & Hardy as two of his inspirators in an interview in Boxoffice of March 1991.

John praises John Hughes, the director of the movie ‘Uncle Buck’, and tells something about the title character. The interview also takes us back to the SCTV years and mentions ‘Radio Candy’ the comedy radio show John had just started. On the page next to the interview is an ad for 'Uncle Buck'.
