Wayne's Power Christmas

In this special Christmas edition of "Wayne's Power Minute," Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers) delivers his unique take on the holiday season. Recorded in early October "due to Santa's availability," Wayne discusses parties and Christmas spirit with his characteristic enthusiasm. He explores topics including air guitar, double-necked guitars which he calls "Siamese twins," and his love of Fender Stratocasters. The sketch showcases the early development of the Wayne Campbell character that would later become a phenomenon on Saturday Night Live and in the Wayne's World movies. This segment was part of the Canadian variety show "It's Only Rock and Roll" on CBC Television, where Wayne regularly appeared to host his "Wayne's Power Minute" segments discussing metal culture, music, and his unique philosophy.

This was NOT a Saturday Night Live sketch, but rather from the CBC show "It's Only Rock and Roll". Aired in 1988, before Wayne's World debuted on SNL in February 1989. Duration: 4:12 (252 seconds).
