What a Week
Canadian Radio Show
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
What A Week was a Canadian political satire show on CBC Radio One that aired on Saturdays in 2003.[1] Debuting on April 12, 2003,[2] it ran for two 13-episode seasons.[citation needed] Following the satirical tradition of Royal Canadian Air Farce, the program poked fun at the past week's news stories, through impressions, comedy sketches, songs, and editorial commentary.[1]
The show was written by Dean Jenkinson.[3] Other writers included Paul Mather, Al Rae, Jerry Schaefer and George Westerholm, and featured the voices of Tony Daniels, Deann deGruijter, Ray Landry and Ron Rubin.[citation needed]
Reception
Tom Fletcher, editor of the Maple Ridge News in British Columbia, complained about the "western hick" humour which was a recurring theme in CBC programs including What A Week.[4]
