In this week’s episode of The Ron James Show, comedian Ron James takes a swing at Sports. An ump hits his tipping point and can’t resist striking out at a belligerent fan; a mid-life hockey league is shaken to its core when the new guy shows up sporting a bottle of wine; like all kids, L’il Ronnie doesn’t want to cover up his Hallowe’en costume and finds a unique solution to trick or treating on a cold Cape Breton night; and Ron pays tribute to Stratford, Ontario, the home of Justin Bieber (oh-and that Shakespeare thing, of course).

THE RON JAMES SHOW airs weekly on Friday nights at 8:00 p.m. (8:30 NT) on CBC-TV, culminating in a one-hour special on New Year’s Day.

Special guests: Christian Potenza, Lauren Ash, Jim Annan.

Ron James takes on Mortality & Aging. A Dad expects his wife and kids to put the ‘fun’ in ‘funeral’ when he goes, but things backfire when the family gets a little too excited about his send-off; Aunt Vivien uses her video will as a way to figure out who should get a lot and who should get squat; and Lil Ronnie “borrows” Nanny’s magnifying glass with disastrous results. In this episode’s Ode to the Road, Ron visits that socialist stronghold, Saskatoon – only to discover there’s not much of Tommy Douglas left in the place.
