Danny Williams and Mark Critch consult 'Codfather' Gordon Pinsent
Danny Williams has had a long-running relationship with 22 Minutes, either being the butt of a joke or more likely being in on the joke himself.
On Tuesday night, the retiring Williams bowed out with a star-studded sketch with regular foil Mark Critch that also featured Gordon Pinsent (who had a recent star turn in a sketch about Justin Bieber’s memoir) … and Allan Hawco and Sean McGinley in Republic of Doyle mode.
If you haven’t seen it already, we’ll bet you’ll want to take a look. In fact, chances are excellent you’ll watch it again.

Mark Critch gets the translated goods from Gilles Duceppe
As we understand it, 22 Minutes had wanted its sketch with Gilles Duceppe to resemble a bit from September with Danny Williams in which the Newfoundland and Labrador premier took French lessons.
No English lessons here, but Mark Critch’s translator-assisted conversation with Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe is a chuckle.
The segment appeared last week. You can watch the full episode here:

Danny Williams gets a 22 Minutes French lesson
This clip aired Tuesday night on 22 Minutes, featuring Danny Williams learning some French - all the better to talk back to Quebec. Jane Taber, the political writer for the Globe and Mail, didn't think much of it at all. In a post yesterday, in advance of the show, she said it was not only unfunny ... but "cringe-worthy."
What do you think?
