The Radio Show
Network:
Broadcast Run:
1983 to 1992
Jack Farr, aka Captain Radio, as host. As described by the CBC Radio Guide, “a wildly unpredictable program…portions of which its studiedly bombastic host insists are currently being pirated by a prestigious New York-based show.” Interviews with experts from politics, music, movies and sports made up the program.
Regular contributors included Danny Finkelman, Bill Casselman, Mary Ambrose and John Robertson. The program began Apr. 23, 1983 and ran until June 27, 1992. Producer, Jim Millican. Aired from 2 until 5 pm every Saturday on the network.

When the CBC was fun.

Baby, Drive That Damn Car!
_
It was inevitable that someday, somewhere, Jacob Collier and Chris Thile would cross paths.
The two wildly musical animals tossed off some Beatles songs a week ago, with the looney energy of puppies playing.
Are they telepathic? Is it jazz?
Inspired? Crazy ass fun?
Oh yeah.

Monsters Inc?
_A meme circulates in the usual where-are-her-e-mails and Benghazi Forever circles.
Which of these is not quite like the others?
But hey, just seven more sleeps til Witch Night.
"How did it come to this?"
_
More than eight million have watched this two-minute trailer for The Crown in the three days it's been up.
It teases season five of the Netflix series, clips of Diana's final days, royal breakdowns and betrayals. The show returns Nov. 9.
The Queen wonders "How did it come to this?"
And Diana sighs: "I never stood a chance."
Which does King Chuck fear most? The world-wide audience for The Crown's take on his adultery? Or Prince Harry's typing?
Meanwhile the Dip and the Chip are planning royal world tours that include Canada and Australia. Pip pip.

PERFORMANCE: Chris Thile - Too Many Notes
Does Chris Thile take his mandolin along on dinner dates?

Superman's secret family? Mermaids?
With the lame reviews Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam is getting, DC's movie division is obviously running out of superhero blockbuster plots.
As a public service, may I remind them of this one? Perhaps for The Rock's sequel, which he teases may include Superman?
Remember Superman's mermaid wife and merman son on that other planet? Lois never recovered. Killed her spin-off comic too.
You're welcome.

Basketball needs a theme song?

A Basketball Theme Song riff hints SatNightLive couldn't payoff a sketch 40 years ago either.
John Tesh did indeed write Roundball Rock, the NBC theme for NBA basketball, used by the network for decades after 1990.
Below, Conan O'Brien teases Tesh about it.

Jonathan Pie bursts a blood vessel
_
Jonathan Pie damn near runs out of cruel adjectives to savage Liz Truss's exit.
He spits a hilarious spew on short-lived PM Liz Truss, Britain, Brexit, Boris and balderdash.
Or as Pie sez, "dogshit".
PERFORMANCE: Phil Hanley: OOH LA LA

Nothing on Netflix can touch it.

A Muppet Show featuring Liz Truss
Has it only been 24 hours since British PM Liz Truss jumped before she was pushed?
Gotta love this instant minute-long Muppet- Truss gag that went up on Youtube overnight.
Colin McQuade did the slick edit, sez the Scottish Independence party that posted it.
Don't miss the sketch that tags the tune.
Hey buddy, we're no bro
A four-year-old comedy riff has resurfaced, Jordan Watson explaining the difference between Canada and New Zealand.
The 34-year-old comic lives in Tauranga, NZ, about two hours from Auckland.
If you don't know what budgie smugglers are, you should. Right, buddy?
Watson's How to Dad YouTube channel has more than 1.2 million subscribers.
