Podcast episode 239ish: Lorne Cardinal & Monique Hurteau

I had a great time on last week's episode. It was my first time meeting actor Lorne Cardinal (although I managed to snap a photo of him on a press junket to the set of Corner Gas in Rouleau, Saskatchewan, as seen on the left), and my first real conversing with, other than in passing, stand-up comic Monique Hurteau. We talked about their individual and collective careers. Cardinal, best known as Sergeant Davis Quinton on Corner Gas, told how portraying a cop on TV has its privileges but when he's on the rugby pitch it has its downsides. Hurteau discussed what it's like going to eleven different schools as a kid and how that led to her stand-up comedy career. Together, they talked about the workshops that put the humour in health, or vice versa.

June 26: Lorne Cardinal & Monique Hurteau

I've got to be on my best behaviour tonight. Officer Davis Quinton of the RCMP detachment in Dog River is dropping by the studio. Yes, that's right, Lorne Cardinal, who played the beloved goofball cop on the hit Corner Gas, is one of our guests tonight. The other is his right-hand woman/gal pal Monique Hurteau, who also happens to be a stand-up comic/motivational speaker/personal trainer. We'll concentrate on the comedy portion of those forward slashes and find out what these two fine entertainers are up to these days. So set your PAR (personal audio recorders) for 11 pm tonight to What's So Funny? on CFRO 102.7 FM.
