Well seeing as how my Blundell / Bullard thread got some decent attention, I guess I'll follow up with that thread I alluded to regarding his talk show days and how he burned his bridges with CTV!
So here we go..... /1
Mike Bullard's late-night talk show, which ran from the late 90s to the early 2000s, may have been the first truly successful show of its type in Canada, but it's widely considered one of the worst Canadian TV shows of all time, for multiple reasons. /2

1/ CN/TW: Autism Speaks, comparing autism to cancer and death, ABA, quack diets, blaming autistic children for family troubles, all manner of ableism
So Autism Speaks has this thing called the "100 Day Kit".
