Dave Foley, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney, and Scott Thompson are the members of the sketch comedy group The Kids in the Hall, which was created in 1984 in Canada. The group is comprised of comedians Bruce McCulloch, Mark McKinney, and Scott Thompson. Their self-titled television show was broadcast in Canada on CBC from 1988 through 1994, while in the United States it aired on CBS and HBO from 1989 until 1995. The song "Having an Average Weekend," which was performed by the Canadian band Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet, was chosen to serve as the program's theme music. The group was only responsible for one film, titled Brain Candy, which was released in the year 1996. In 2000, the troupe got back together to participate in a number of comedy festivals and tours. In January of 2010, they presented a miniseries titled Death Comes to Town that consisted of eight episodes. The name of the group was given to them by Sid Caesar, who would blame a joke's failure on "the kids in the hall," referring to a group of young writers who were known to hang out in and around the studio. If a joke was poorly received or didn't play as well as expected, Sid Caesar would blame "the kids in the hall."
