  • What kind of comic doesn’t know

    Who Jim Carrey is or that he’s Canadian? Pretending to be ignorant as to why he would be in Canada accepting a lifetime achievement award is pretty inexcusable. Jim Carrey speaks two languages— Chris can barely master one but he keeps his equally apathetic & ignorant cohost around so he can feel smart by comparison. Plz research and prepare for your topics like HM does, as opposed to spouting rubbish.
