Comedian Joe Flaherty, a founding member of the Canadian sketch series SCTV, has died at the age of 82.

Flaherty first made his mark on the comedy scene while at SCTV, playing characters like Count Floyd, news anchor Floyd Robertson and the iconic character of SCTV station manager, Guy Caballero. A native of Pittsburgh, Penn., Flaherty served in the United States Air Force for several years before making the pivot to acting. He moved to Chicago and joined the Second City Theatre troupe.
