MacGyver

"What am I, MacGyver? Fix it with what?"

MacGyver was a TV series created on Earth in which the title character was famous for using whatever items were convenient in scientifically ingenious ways to get himself out of difficult situations.

In 1997, Captain Samantha Carter referenced the series when she said "it took us fifteen years and three supercomputers to MacGyver a system for the gate on Earth." (SG1: "Children of the Gods")

In 2005, Dr. Rodney McKay mentioned MacGyver when he was asked to fix a Puddle Jumper that he considered damaged beyond repair. (SGA: "Condemned")

Richard Dean Anderson, who plays Colonel Jack O'Neill, is also famous for playing MacGyver. It is not specified who starred in MacGyver in the form in which it existed within the Stargate universe.
Many other people have worked in both the Stargate series and MacGyver including Christopher Judge, Don S. Davis, Michael Greenburg, Garwin Sanford, Robin Mossley, Peter F. Woeste, and Peter Williams.
Reportedly, Amanda Tapping ad-libbed the "MacGyver" line during her audition and that was what clinched the role for her.
Stargate SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis are filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, which is also where MacGyver was filmed.
Michael Shanks saw an episode of MacGyver being filmed and it reportedly helped inspire him to become an actor.
