Jann Arden Gets Cameo Treatment on Robson Arms, March 10 on CTV
The always-hilarious Jann Arden plays an aggressive speed-dater when Fred (Haig Sutherland) attends a “Hasty-Date†event in an all-new episode of Robson Arms, premiering Saturday, March 10 at 9 p.m. ET on CTV (visit CTV.ca to confirm local broadcast times). Robson Arms continues to air Saturdays at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT on The Comedy Network and on demand on The CTV Broadband Network at CTV.ca.
Jolted into action by the gruesome demise of a single neighbour, Fred decides he needs more in life than X-Box and a brain in a goldfish bowl. He attends a speed-dating event and meets a fellow dater (played by Jann Arden) who knows exactly what she wants in a man and isn’t afraid to share it! When his attempt at obtaining a “Hasty-Date†only results in creating a blight on the organizer’s 100 per cent success rate, Fred doggedly pursues a friendship with Carol (Linda Kash), a Robson Arms newcomer.
In other upcoming episodes:
Viewers who missed the first five episodes of Robson Arms can catch up on The CTV Broadband Network (at CTV.ca or TheComedyNetwork.ca). Each week, new episodes will be available on demand for free following its television broadcast on CTV and The Comedy Network.

After a cross-country search for the next opera star, the ultimate “Bathroom Diva†will be revealed in the season finale of Bathroom Divas: So You Want To Be An Opera Star?, an exciting six-part, one-hour documentary series produced by Kaleidoscope Entertainment for Bravo!. The season finale airs Saturday, March 17 at 9pm ET on Bravo!, with an encore presentation Tuesday, March 20 at 8pm ET.
From auditions in Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal and Halifax, six finalists were hand-picked to participate in an intensive opera boot camp in Toronto. In the final episode three opera hopefuls remain: Paul Abelha, a construction worker from Hamilton, Ontario; Elaine Jean Brown, a part-time model/administrative assistant from Calgary, Alberta; and Phillip Holmes, a student from Norway Bay, Quebec.
