A staple of Canadian comedy, Gerry Dee has done a bit of everything. He's enjoyed a successful stand-up career, garnered laughs during eight seasons of Mr. D and played host on Family Feud Canada. But his upcoming Netflix special - Gerry Dee: Funny You Should Say That - has him stoked like never before.

On Nov. 18, viewers can expect to see the former teacher's signature brand of comedy: clean but funny. The family man – who shares daughters Aly, 18, and Faith, 15, and son Breton, 13, with his wife, Heather – tends to keep his content “free from F-bombs.”

Here, Gerry, 56, chats about this career milestone and the importance of memories.
