Singer Jann Arden makes a guest appearance on the Royal Canadian Air Farce in 1997 to fire the Chicken Cannon with Col. Stacey, played by Don Ferguson.

The Chicken Cannon was fired a total of 58 times on the popular sketch TV show. Most of the times the cannon was fired at political figures based on viewers votes. Jean Chretien, Lucien Bouchard, David Collenette, Mike Harris and Conrad Black have all had the cannon fired at them more than once.
