HNIC's Worst TV Personality

Dial 9-1-1 · 04-27-2008, 02:08 PM

Tough call here.

Maybe if Cassie Campbell kept her mouth shut and wore see-through tops I'd be a bigger fan of hers.

Maybe if PJ Stock said fewer than 1000 words in a minute he might be worthy of at least an "Inbox" job at Sportsnet.

Maybe if Steve Armitage and Elliot Friedman didn't treat every interview as if that was the most important period, goal, or shift in sport history:
"Mike Commodore, your goal at 3:15 of the first period to make the score 1-1 just might have been the biggest goal of your career. Walk us through it and tell us what you were thinking."

At least CBC got it right by hiring Jim Hughson full time. Their other choices...I'm not sure about.

Steve Armitage: "Dial 911, thanks for this".

Dial 911: (Sniff). "Thanks."

**Regs** · 04-27-2008, 02:16 PM

Elliot Freidman gets my vote, can't stand him.

**Sir M** · 04-27-2008, 02:18 PM

Having said that, I voted for Scot Oake. Worst hair ever.

Hopefully he got a good settlement, because he got butchered by his surgeon. But I actually like Scott Oake and think he does a good job on "Afterhours," even when he has a Ron Burgundy moment and signs off with "Thanks very much to Mike Keenan, coach of the Vancouver Canucks" like he did earlier this year.

Tough choice between PJ, Cassie, or Elliot. All three truly are horrendous, but my vote went to Elliot. The guy is as fake as a three dollar bill and I have the temptation to clean his throat with glass shards glued to a tree branch whenever he interviews someone.

In fairness to Cassie Campbell, her interviews actually are not that bad when you press the mute botton.

Millen is the most hated but doesn't belong in this poll.

Scott Oak embodies everything that is wrong with the CBC and, as such, deserves to be voted for. In addition, Afterhours should be pulled and set aside forever in the CBC archives with the Tommy Hunter Show.

Kelly Hrudey is not too far off from getting my vote though...yes, he's got some insider knowledge but so did Kato Kaelin. There's only one thing worse than a "CBC Sports Presentation" and that's the host that thinks he's the shit because he's involved in it. The reality is that this guy needs to check his ego at the door before he enters the Nancy Greene Studios.

Cherry is, and always will be, their only asset...although Stock is refreshingly un-CBC-like...Cassie started out very well but she has been gradually numbed into a Barbara Frum-like trance.

Lastly, Hughson is the next Danny Gallivan.

Cheers

Gotta agree with the Cassie Campbell comment.Do something with your lid sweetheart!!!!She won't last dressed like a nun.

Cassie Campbell is terrible, nuff said...

The CBC is a joke...

**utah** · 04-28-2008, 12:13 AM

Is Scott Oak the guy that has the spray on hair?

**utah** · 04-28-2008, 12:15 AM

Elliott Friedman is like somebody is trying to take the piss out of him from MAD TV.

Tuna · 04-28-2008, 12:23 AM

Scott Russell bores me to tears.

In my opinion PJ Stock injects a bit of much needed personality into the CBC mix. Saw him a couple of times getting lesbian dances at supersex in Montreal.
