The Frantic Films-produced sketch comedy show won the $25,000 Rogers Prize for Excellence in Canadian Content, in addition to earning Best Comedy or Variety Program. The Jury Prize went to You Are Here: A Come From Away Story. The MDF Productions/HBO Canada feature documentary revisits the community of Gander, Newfoundland which welcomed over 6,500 passengers, forced to land amidst the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
