This Hour Has 22 Minutes - Cast

Cast

Although each cast member's real name was always shown at the beginning of each episode, at the end of most episodes prior to 2006, one cast member would sign off using their anchor character's name, which is noted below where known. This has now been discontinued, and anchors now regularly address each other by their real names.

  • Cathy Jones (1993– ) as anchor (formerly Sydney Dubizzenchyk, a reference to former CBC anchor Tina Srebotnjak, who had become the host of Midday in 1992) and various correspondents and sketch characters. Jones is the only member from the original cast for the entire series thus far.
  • Mark Critch (2003– ), as anchor (formerly Bas MacLaren, apparently in homage to two well-known Newfoundland radio announcers, Bas Jamieson and George MacLaren) and various correspondents and sketch characters.
  • Shaun Majumder (2003-2010, 2011- ) as anchor (formerly Tucker T. Bartlett) and various correspondents and sketch characters. He appeared less often in his last couple of years with the show, and eventually left the series to star on Detroit 1-8-7. Shaun returned to the show starting in the 19th season.
  • Susan Kent (2012-) as anchor and various correspondents and sketch characters.

Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    “If you are cast in a different mould to the majority, it is no merit of yours: Nature did it.”
    —Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855)

    “You have waited, you always wait, you dumb, beautiful ministers,
    We receive you with free sense at last, and are insatiate
    hence-forward,
    Not you any more shall be able to foil us, or withhold yourselves
    from us,
    We use you, and do not cast you aside—we plant you permanently within us,
    We fathom you not—we love you—there is perfection in you also,
    You furnish your parts, toward eternity,
    Great or small, you furnish your parts toward the soul.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “Like a bad doctor who has fallen down sick you are cast down, and cannot find what sort of drugs would cure your ailment.”
    —Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
