* Game 6, Round 7 - Canadiana Entertainment - This Round Has 22 Questions

Answer these questions about the Canadian political-satire TV show
"This Hour Has 22 Minutes".

Obviously, this is a half-hour show whose title plays on the
time available after allowing for commercials and on the 1964-66 current-affairs show "This Hour Has Seven Days".

1. The full title "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" isn't actually used
much any more. Since 2009, what """is""" the show usually

It's almost as if they don't expect people to remember "This Hour
Has Seven Days" any more.

2. The original four stars of the show included Rick Mercer and
Mary Walsh. Name either of the other two.

Cathy Jones, Greg Thomey.

3. What year did the show debut, within 2 years?

1993 (accepting 1991-95). 2 for Joshua.

4. What was the name of the regular segment where Rick Mercer

"Talking to Americans". 4 for Joshua.

5. Sporting identical red plaid flannel shirts and black toques,

The Quinlan Quints.

Raj Binder.

7. Name the Mary Walsh character who crashed press conferences and
ambushed politicians, in later seasons dressing as like a Roman
centurion and calling herself a Warrior Princess.

Marg Delahunty.

There are two kinds of Canadians, those who follow and admire the
CBC and those who practically never watch it. I'd never heard of her
until she tried one of these ambushes on our idiot mayor in 2011,
but apparently this was one thing that he and I had in common. And...
