Trish Stratus To Host Improv Search On Canadian TV

The Second City is a long-running comedy improve group out of Chicago’s Old Town neighbourhood. So what’re they doing on Canadian TV? Ah, who cares, as long as they have Trish Stratus on it! Yup, WWE’s Babe of the Year from 2001-2003 will be hosting “The Second City’s Next Comedy Legend”, a reality show which will be airing on Canada’s CBS. The auditions were held during March of this year, and the series will begin airing this July 10.

The show will have elements of American Idol, with the contestants strutting their stuff for the judges and a chance to win a spot on the Second City National Touring Company, a comedy theater company where several famous performers began their careers.

Previous winners of the competition include Eugene Levy (the dad from the American Pie movies), Chris Farley (Saturday Night Live, Tommy Boy), Mike Myers (Austin Powers, Shrek), and Steve Carrell (40 Year Old Virgin, The Office). Now that’s a line-up absolutely worth emulating.

The series will run for eight episodes, and the judges will be Joe Flaherty, Mick Napier, Elvira Kurt and Dave Thomas. But of course it’s Trish we’ll be waiting for. Forget Jay Mohr, we want our host to be hot!
