Perfect Tommy: "Dr. Lizardo? Wasn't he on TV once?"
Buckaroo: "You're thinking of Mr. Wizard."
Reno: "This guy is a top scientist, dummkopf."
Perfect Tommy: "So is Mr. Wizard."

I remember him mostly from the early 70s version of his show. One of my favorite SCTV sketches is a hung-over Mr. Wizard teaching a bright-eyed kid about science.

Mr. Wizard: "You know why water boils, Jimmy?"
Jimmy: "No, why Mr. Wizard?"
Mr. Wizard: "Because it's hot!"
