Should Black come back?

This week on The Debaters...
Is reality TV as good as scripted shows? Should Conrad Black do his time in Canada?

Gemini award-winning comedic actor Patrick McKenna (“The Red Green Show”) is riled up and ready to prove to TV talent show finalist Debra DiGiovanni (NBC’s “Last Comic Standing”) that all reality programs should be voted off the air.
Next up, Ottawa comedians Carrie Gaetz and Don Kelly take on the topic of Conrad Black and argue whether this fallen idol of Canadian commerce should be allowed to serve his jail time in Canada.

The Debaters orders YOU to report to the nearest radio at 6:30 PM Saturday and 8:30 PM Monday. Your sentence – a half hour of giggles with no chance of early release.

Stand And Deliver!

This week on The Debaters "Canadian Male Stand-up Comic of the Year" Mike Wilmot is out to prove to author and comedienne Kate Davis (The Breastfeeding Diaries) that men have no place in the hospital delivery room. Up next, it's our first ever musical debate as comedy duo The Doo Wops challenge songwriter George Westerholm on his belief that cloning humans would be a bad idea.
