q is a magazine show that’s unpredictable in the best sense - proud to be “a wild mix of culture by way of Canada” as described by the New York Times. The Globe & Mail noted the show’s “raging popularity across a variety of platforms -- podcasts, television, websites, satellite radio, terrestrial radio, and occasional live remote broadcasts."

I live in a place that has A LOT of squirrels. They startle me sometimes, and I say, "Whoah, there Squirrelly Dan!!" Love you, sir.

John Candy was a genius! Still breaks me heart we lost him so young. Very genuine actor with perfect timing. One of the all time greats. The Joe Montana/john Candy super bowl story...one of the best all time sports stories!

[@NokiaSux220]

You should watch the tribute video Ryan Reynolds made for John candy. It's heartwarming.

Big Trev! I was so happy when I saw him in Letterkenny, I've had SexCop FirePenis for a while now, and it's one of my favorite standup albums, always great to see this funny bastard getting to make people smile!

[@mattmclean4478]

Great talent. Very funny comedian.

[@laprepper]

If y'all haven't seen letter Kenny it is an extremely hilarious show that is very well written by a team of writers that has a love of literary devices that when heard in the spoken form are even funnier somehow. it's also a great look into Canadian life at least in some aspects, and there's just so many amazing characters I don't even know where to begin the goth emo meth kids are f****** phenomenal the two Meathead hockey player kids will have you bursting at the f****** sides with their back and forth, Wade or Wayne the dude who's always interrupting everybody is a f****** riot, the show has so many moments of solid gold I really think it hasn't caught on in the Americas yet but I have a feeling that it will because humor knows no borders, now nor never

[@stefanoliessi8722]

K. Trevor, you deserve all of your success, putting your passion before anything else is key. One day a relation ship will happen with someone who understands this... then you will have it all, and then some.

I LOVED JOHN CANDY AND ALWAYS WILL. CRIED SO HARD WHEN HE DIED. So incredibly funny, yet endearing, charming, sweet and always seemed like Such a genuinely nice guy; no one ever said a bad word about him in real life. Everyone who ever came in contact with him, from his daughter, wife and family, to those who worked with him, interviewed him or knew him said he was wonderful. Still miss him. Still watch his movies especially Uncle Buck, Plains Trains and Automobiles (still the greatest thanksgiving movie ever made) and The Great Outdoors. He’s a true Legend.

I would have bet ya a buck he was an authentic hick from watching Letterkenny. I suppose that's a testament to his skill.

A thing i started asking my self part way through, specifically when they were speaking about john candys romantic leads...i think hes got the charm and charisma to play an endearing goofy odd couple mainstream movie at least.

Love the show (what little I've been able to see of it). A real pity CBC has the show geo-blocked making it impossible to legally watch the show outside of Canada. This is too good a show to be held back like this. You guys should shop the show to Netflix or Amazon and gain the global audience you deserve.
