Listen now: Mark Critch of This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Jonas Chernick of The Border

Mark Critch of This Hour Has 22 Minutes and Jonas “Heironymous Slade” Chernick of The Border were the witty and entertaining guests on the final (for now) TV, eh? show on Blogtalkradio.

Mark Critch talks about stalking the trail of Sarah Palin in Alaska, impersonating Danny Williams in China, and teaching Beijing schoolchildren useful English phrases like “Stephen Harper lied to the people of Newfoundland and Labrador.”

Having just completed a half marathon and demonstrating excellent social skills, Jonas Chernick proves he’s not really like his character (as long as you don’t ask his friends and family, apparently). He talks about what’s next on The Border and what’s coming up for Slade, his forays into writing and theatre, learning about current events from The Border scripts, and why he never wants to write one.

In the news: Crusoe part Lost, part MacGyver, part Gilligan’s Island

From Rob Salem of the Toronto Star:

  • Crusoe, by way of Gilligan and MacGyver
    “Aside from the perhaps excessive employment of ethereal, soft-focus, Jane Austen-type flashbacks, the essential innovation here is the more enlightened relationship between Crusoe and his reformed cannibal “manservant,” Friday (Tongayi Chirisa) – here a bantering brotherhood more akin to Robinson (hmm) and Scott on I Spy, Crockett and Tubbs on Miami Vice, and Riggs and Murtaugh in the Lethal Weapon flicks.” Read more.
