Sid Dithers
From Rocklopedia Fakebandica
Jump to navigationJump to searchRunning wacky Yiddish character played by Eugene Levy on SCTV. He's not normally musical. But in the parody of the 1980 film The Jazz Singer (16 October 1981), Sid is a successful smooth jazz saxophonist, who's adopted son Yissel Dithers (real singer Al Jarreau) sings on his tracks.
In a nice twist on the original, Yissel wants to give up singing jazz to be a Jewish cantor, much to his father's great disappointment.
