They are making fun of my dad on TV

Postby Infamousluna » Tue Aug 30, 2005 7:57 am

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#So here in Ottawa, hours away from my father (in Toronto), I am watching TV, when I hear his name mentioned. I look up at the TV to see that my dad is being spoofed on a comedy show. This is actual the second time, as the first time was on Royal Canadian Air Farce, and now this time it is Comedy Inc, on CTV (or something like that).#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#It's weird for me to see that...I am not offended exactly, but I do feel like I should send them some pointers on how to do a better job on imitating him..lol#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Have you ever seen someone you know on TV? like Canadian Idol or something? It is surreal to see someone on TV and know them in person, I think.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I just read Sugar's post...how terrifying! At least in my case, you laugh while watching. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Anyone else curious as to who your dad is? #ed_op#IMG src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys/Happy/7.gif"#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I remember watching a hockey game once, and they kept talking about a Rob Brown who was playing for the Blackhawks.  They showed a closeup of him, and HEY!  I went to grade school with him!  I had no idea he was a hockey player.  I went to school with quite a few of them, but I knew they were all players.  It was a bit of a shock to see him all grown up.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

Another friend of mine is a doctor and during sars(sp? I can't spell today) he was off and on Global they interviewed him at the driving range having a great old time!! I was like...what is going on?#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#&nbsp;#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#It's just as weird when you see actors etc... in person. I've seen Jlo, P.Diddy in Miami when I was shopping. I've seen Ron Mclean? Tom Cochrone? and Eric Lidross? when I worked at the mall. And I think also Doug Gilmour but I don't really care about celb's.

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#We have had a few celebish people in at either store I work at: Lloyd Robertson is probably the most famous, but also Jim Tatti (my co-worker and I had no idea - our boss told us after he left), Ed the Sock, the dark-haired girl from Ready or Not, Mag Ruffman, hmm, there might be a couple more that I am forgetting. On a horsey note, the Willmott's (they own Kinghaven and he is or used to be president of the OJC) come here, and Dick Rockwell, he and his wife were instrumental in getting Pony Club going in Ontario. Although I heard he just recently went into a home.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#The one I got really shy about meeting was Glen Loates. He's a wildlife painter and my boss had to drag me out of the lab when he came in, I was pretty starstruck!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I have seen the odd patient on TV, we do have some GTA political figures that come in too. I'll be watching the news and go, hey, I met them. Happens at least a few times a year.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#&nbsp;#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

Hahahaha...seesh I leave the thread for one minute...lol#ed_op#br#ed_cl#
#ed_op#br#ed_cl#
Not many people outside of Toronto will know my dad, as the only
national stuff he does is Political consulting, elections, and filling
in&nbsp; for Lloyd.&nbsp; He is the 6 0'clock anchor for CTV in Toronto#ed_op#br#ed_cl#
#ed_op#br#ed_cl#
I have also had a few friends on TV...My friend Sheldon was in
goosebumps, and I have another friend who I haven't seen in years, and
he is on that show 'Northshore'.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#
