Mike Myers was a pop culture-generating machine during his time at SNL. A master of catchphrases and meticulously crafted characters, he gave the world the headbanging innocent Wayne Campbell of ‘Wayne’s World,’ the judgmental ‘Coffee Talk’ host Linda Richman, and the bizarrely aggressive German TV presenter Dieter. His creations weren’t just characters; they were phenomena that bled into the mainstream lexicon. After leaving, he spun two of his creations into blockbuster film franchises with Wayne’s World and the Austin Powers trilogy. He proved that a single, perfectly honed sketch idea could launch a global comedy empire.
