Cast: Cathy Jones, Greg Thomey, Mary Walsh, Rick Mercer

Four years after it hit the beach in Halifax, THIS HOUR HAS 22 MINUTES has grown to a comedy tidal wave sending sassy, satirical salvos into the fat hull of Canadian politics. Smash Bits ’97 is a memento of a year in which the critically acclaimed show invaded Washington, ambushed a Prime Minister in his own office and hijacked a Queen’s Park press scrum!
“Don’t make me come back and smite ya.” “Canada and Cuba: It’s a match made in heaven.” “Baa, baa.” “Rockin’ at The Rodeo special edition: same-sex line dancing.”
