    BACKGROUND to BY INVITATION Background Sun 11:15-11:40 p.m., 5 Jul 1959-26 Jun 1960 Sun 11:20-11:40 p.m., 9 Oct 1960-1 Jan 1961 Sun 10:00-10:30 p.m., 19 Feb-25 Jun 1961 Various times, 1962 Background, produced by Cliff Solway, replaced This Week as a late Sunday night analysis of issues in the news. The change in format and title reflected a change in the audience that the CBC projected for the series. This Week had attracted growing numbers of viewers, and the Talks and Public Affairs Department explained, "Of these new viewers, we thought there must be a number who are not as well versed on the background of the topics selected." Background tried to outline a topic in the news and discuss the events leading to the current situation. Most programs concerned immediate issues. Some involved more advance planning, such as segments on international business mergers, atomic fallout, and political situations in Poland, Bulgaria, and Portugal. The host and narrator for the series was Rick Hart, a thirty-eight year old political science graduate of the University of Saskatchewan, who had spent seventeen years in the army and had little broadcasting experience. In the 1960 season Hart was replaced with a number of commentators, who included Alistair Cooke, Malcolm Muggeridge, Philip Deane, Arnold Beichman, Robert, McKenzie, Robert Fulford, and Michael Maclear, and in January 196l, Background moved into prime time. Cooke, the U.S. correspondent for the Manchester Guardian, had appeared frequently on the previous season of Background, and offered reports on the U.S.

  • Canadian Humour
    Canadian humour Canadian humour is an integral part of the Canadian Identity. There are several traditions in Canadian humour in both English and French. While these traditions are distinct and at times very different, there are common themes that relate to Canadians' shared history and geopolitical situation in North America and the world. Various trends can be noted in Canadian comedy. One thread is the portrayal of a "typical" Canadian family in an on-going radio or television series. Examples include La famille Plouffe, with its mix of drama, humour, politics and religion and sitcoms such as King of Kensington and La Petite Vie. Another major thread tends to be political and cultural satire: television shows such as CODCO, Royal Canadian Air Farce, La Fin du monde est à 7 heures and This Hour Has 22 Minutes, monologuists such as Yvon Deschamps and Rick Mercer and writers, including Michel Tremblay, Will Ferguson and Eric Nicol draw their inspiration from Canadian and Québécois society and politics. Another trend revels in absurdity, demonstrated by television series like The Kids in the Hall and The Frantics, and musician-comedians such as The Arrogant Worms, Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie and Bowser and Blue. Satire is arguably the primary characteristic of Canadian humour, evident in each of these threads, and uniting various genres and regional cultural differences. Humber College in Toronto and the École nationale de l'humour in Montreal offer post-secondary programmes in comedy writing and performance. Montreal is also home to the bilingual (English and French) Just For Laughs festival and to the Just for Laughs museum, a bilingual, international museum of comedy.

  • Andrew Clark: Number One, I Want to Call Attention to a Book I Read a While Ago That I Thought Was Tremendous
    Andrew Clark: Number one, I want to call attention to a book I read a while ago that I thought was tremendous. The author is sitting beside me. It’s Air Farce: 40 Years of Flying By the Seat of Our Pants. As someone who writes about the history of comedy, I wish he’d written this a little bit before my book, because then I could’ve just used it as a secondary source. It’s a tremendous book. It’s a really, really funny, well-written book, and it’s going to be valuable for people who study comedy for years and years to come, so on their behalf, I thank you, Don Ferguson… Don Ferguson: You’re welcome. AC: And I welcome you once again to Humber College Comedy Primetime. (applause) And I have to say, I got to learn a few things about you that I didn’t know, particularly, and I mentioned it earlier, that you didn’t have a very direct route into comedy. There was no comedy school. I think you were always being funny one way or another, but can you talk a little bit about your early days in Montreal, at Loyola, and your march through the counterculture of the sixties, to a degree? DF: (laughs) Well, I’m obviously a baby boomer, and I came of age, I guess in a way, in the sixties. Now I’m in my sixties. Funny, isn’t it? At the time when I was in school, high school and then university, there were no comedy clubs of any kind anywhere.
