Award-winning actor, producer, and entrepreneur Ryan Reynolds hosts a special screening of John Candy: I Like Me, directed by Emmy® Award–nominated filmmaker Colin Hanks. Following the screening, Reynolds will be joined on stage by surprise guests for a live, moderated conversation reflecting on the beloved comedian’s artistry, generosity, and cultural impact.

Co-produced by Mills Entertainment and Maximum Effort, in association with Amazon MGM Studios, and presented by Clearly Canadian, this event features never-before-seen archival footage, personal stories, and interviews that celebrate Candy’s extraordinary career, kindness, and lasting influence.
