“Token Canadian” Cory Monteith on hosting the Geminis

smallFrom Raju Mudhar of the Toronto Star:

  • Cory Monteith: From Glee to the Geminis
    “I think some of the CBC shows and Flashpoint (on CTV) for example, (shows with) a joint production deal with an American network have been doing well, but generally most people are unaware of Canadian programming in the U.S. and one of the strongest allies that Canadian television can have is the United States … but it’s great to bring our best offerings to the world, really, not just to the U.S., but to a broader market, and have people know more about Canadian talent overall.” Read more.
