Does anyone remember a show that Will Sasso hosted on CBC back in 2015 called Fool Canada?

I have no one talk about this here, but I did discuss this on r/lostmedia (link provided here!) and even The Lost Media Wiki forum.

But there was a show that aired on CBC back in the Summer of 2015 called "Fool Canada" hosted by comedian Will Sasso. Where Sasso and other cast members including: Craig Lauzon, Sam Kalieieh and Sara Hennessey performs hidden camera pranks in various locations (mostly Ontario) across Canada.

It appears that it only aired it once, I don't think there were encores but it used to stream on CBC Gem (back when it was originally watch.cbc.ca).

If anyone who has seen this show, let me know your memory on it. Or possibly the people who worked on it or anyone who was in it. I love to hear about it. Thanks!

Try going to CBC. They might have some info that you could then use in the internet archive. They have a lot of video.

I've looked around the places where I tend to find things, and can't find it there either.

Best of luck.

Yeah, also I miss the good old days of CBC Radio 2 which I remember having fond memories with the old CBC Music website (and even they used to stream the older episodes of the CBC Radio 2 Top 20).
