Canadian comedian and former Saturday Night Live star Mike Myers will be featured on his native countries' 85 cent postage stamp this summer.
According to ET Canada the stars face will appear on the stamp alongside his most famous characters, Wayne Campbell from Wayne’s World, Austin Powers and Dr. Evil from the Austin Powers movies. Myers told reporters,
“I can’t believe it…It’s unbelievably flattering. I just wanna thank whoever in the Canadian government decided to out this idiot on a stamp.”
The Indy Channel reports that Myers will not be the only Canadian comedian to be honored with a stamp, a series of stamps with unannounced comedians will begin to premier this August/ September. Myers said he was not thrilled by his mother’s reaction however; when he told her she asked if it was legal tender and if he knew anyone else who was on a stamp. Myers replied, “Yeah, one other person, her Majesty the Queen!”
