In his sixth annual New Year’s special, comedian Ron James puts 2011 to bed as only he can, then looks ahead to 2012, sincerely hoping the Mayans were just having a bad day at the temple when they made their famous doomsday prediction.
In this week’s episode of THE RON JAMES SHOW, comedian Ron James weighs in on a world where no matter how hard we try it’s Never Enough. An Old West gunslinger in the middle of a bloody duel has to upgrade to the new model of gun before he can get the bullets he desperately requires; a Big Pharma huckster brings on the dancing girls to convince doctors his underwhelming new drug is a winner; class bully Bucky Lutley challenges L’il Ronnie to a chilling toboggan race down Dead Man’s Hill; and Ron pays tribute to Nanaimo, B.C. and finds out it isn’t just for dessert any more.

Special Guest: Patrick McKenna.
In this week’s episode of THE RON JAMES SHOW, comedian Ron James puts the subject of Money where his mouth is. Two co-workers find out the office pool lottery numbers have finally come in and hatch an elaborate plot to cut out the others; not even a brutal bear attack will get a Canadian camping in the US to pay for cross-border health care; L’il Ronnie hits a wrong note with his scary piano teacher and Ron pays tribute to The Peg, birthplace of another Canadian rebel, Louis Riel.
