I loved this show from the 1990s. This one was particularly funny for the satirical send-up over the CBC 2's way-too frequent elegiac pieces on Glenn Gould (call Morris Jesso, they're still raking that over today) and so many other things which have an uncanny resonance today. It's not seltzer in the pants, shaving cream pie in the face. jokes so old Morris Jesso wouldn't touch them stuff so the troll won't get it.
There was a somewhat similar program on Vermont Public Radio in the 1980s done by The Panther Players as I recall and as the vestigial remnants as can be found online indicate, they got dropped by VPR when they got antsy about their political humor.
I won't link to the tiny clips of some of the pieces I found online, funny as those are, they don't do the show justice.
