We asked and you answered. A record 136 readers voted in the latest TVFMF poll, which asked, “Should Geri Hall‘s ‘Single Female Voter’ stop crashing political press conferences on This Hour Has 22 Minutes?”
An overwhelming 83% of you said, go Geri, go, keep gooning politicians. Just 16% said cut it out.
This Hour Has 22 Minutes executive producer Mark Farrell says Hall’s Avery Adams character won’t be back this season (including tonight’s second last show at 8:30 on CBC), but “not because we’re gun shy; there just doesn’t seem to be an opportunity.”
All in all, he’s pleased with the way Hall’s character connected with viewers. His two favorite bits: “when Geri said the thing to Ignatieff about three-ways never working out the way you plan; or when Geri said to Duceppe while dancing with him: ‘I have to apologize; my stomach is doing cartwheels, I have a weak constitution, but you like that don’t you?'”
Tonight on 22 Minutes: Gunther Wilson (Gavin Crawford) discusses ‘Geo Fencing’ and introduces his younger brother, Aalto (Nathan Fielder) on “Computer Corner.”
