Is 22 Minutes due for a makeover?

From Mike Morrison of Mike’s Bloggity Blog:

  • Why ’22 Minutes’ should be more like SNL
    Tuesday night’s This Hour Has 22 Minutes on CBC will feature one of the network’s biggest stars, Jian Ghomeshi, guest hosting. Casting the Q host is an excellent decision, since it will likely bring a younger audience to the show, that has already been on air for an amazing 20 years. Which got me thinking, what if 22 Minutes always had guest hosts and was essentially changed into the Canadian version of Saturday Night Live? Read more.
