It is so funny
Why Eric Peterson?
This is one of my favourite shows and something that I look forward to weekly. Gavin is one of the most talented hosts with his quick wit and impersonations. However, I was very disappointed to find out Eric Peterson was on this week’s panel. He was alright in Corner Gas but his sense of humour is most geared towards audiences his age. I find myself taken out of the moment every time he rants on about a story that stretches waaaay too long to make a point? Sometimes?. I can just picture the audience rolling their eyes when Eric talks. Please stop putting him on this and The Debaters. He does not add a comical value to the show and it’s just patronizing at this point. He’s not funny at all.
