Comedian Joe Flaherty, a founding member of the Canadian sketch series ``SCTV,'' has died.
His daughter Gudrun says Flaherty died Monday following a brief illness.
Flaherty, who was born in Pittsburgh, spent seven years at The Second City in Chicago before moving north of the border to help establish the theatre's Toronto outpost.
He went on to star alongside John Candy and Catherine O'Hara in ``SCTV,'' about a fictional TV station known as Second City Television that was stacked with buffoons in front of and behind the cameras.
