This Hour Has 22 Minutes appears on Mondays at 8:00 pm on CBC.
Salter Street Films' reputation for producing hit comedy content continues with the unstoppable success of its award-winning program This Hour Has 22 Minutes.
The series supplies a regular hit of biting satire and hilarity to Canada's slightly twisted news junkies. Hailed by critics and feared by public figures, over 1 million viewers tune in to This Hour Has 22 Minutes every week to watch the show's volatile mix of news parody, sketch comedy, scathing editorial commentary and the collective comic genius of the dynamite cast and their alter egos.
Audiences favourites include Cathy Jones as the sassy suffragette Babe "I'm just goofin' around" Bennett; Rick Mercer on location with his 'Talking to Americans'; Greg Thomey as Tim MacMillan, the bumbling news correspondent and Mary Walsh as the irrepressibly cranky Marg Delahunty.
Recognized with 19 Gemini Awards, This Hour Has 22 Minutes provides a half-hour every week where the tax-paying citizen can feel some justice has been served to our civil servants. It's a place where Rick Mercer has a burger and fries with Prime Minister Chretien in Harvey's; where the most trusted journalist Walter Cronkite puts Greg Thomey in a head lock; where Cathy Jones transforms herself in to a whining Ally McBeal look-alike and where Mary Walsh hosts a 'sleepover' for the nation's leading female politicians.
