As well, from the upcoming CTV Original Comedy series, JANN, Jann Arden returns to the franchise for a second time, guest starring as a University representative who finds herself in Dog River to personally deliver a Doctorate of Philosophy to one of the residents. We are ecstatic Prime Minister Trudeau is carrying on the tradition of Canadian Prime Ministers appearing on Corner Gas, following appearances by Stephen Harper and Paul Martin, said Creator, Executive Producer and star Brent Butt. The PM was great fun to work with and getting to do the recording in his office was a real thrill. We are delighted and honoured to have Prime Minister Trudeau visit Dog River. I hope he had a chance to stop at The Ruby for a chili cheese dog before he left, said Corrie Coe, Senior Vice- President, Original Programming. Brent and the whole talented team have been hard at work to create another funny and charming season of CORNER GAS ANIMATED. And with this stellar lineup of cameos, Comedy will surely have another smash-hit season for fans when the series returns this spring.
