PHIL HARTMAN WAS THE MAN! It was really a sad day when he was shot.
Also- I didn't realize that Pamela Anderson is actually smart. Just goes to show you that you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover!
Jim Carrey is hilarious! I think I have liked him in every single movie he's done. Has anyone seen Number 23? That movie was FREAKY! Me, Myself and Irene is hilarious too, but don't go see it with your family! Ha ha!

I'm of Canadian descent and we always laugh at how Americans assume all actors are from the U.S. Your list included almost all comedians. How about Bill Shatner, Brendan Fraser, Donald & Keifer Sutherland, James Doohan, Matt Perry, Keanu Reeves, Neve Campbell, Sarah Chalke, Corey Haim, Marty Short, Tommy Chong, Eugene Levi, Mike Meyer, Howie Mandel - and "oldies" like Raymond Burr, Mary Pickford, Glenn Ford, Lorne Greene and Leslie Neilson?
We also have Alex Trebek (yay) and Celine Dion (no country is perfect) and a gaggle of other singers.

I think that if she had done all the ones you listed including the ones that are currently listed it would've taken forever to write. She probably just picked the ones people would know the best.
And I doubt that she was trying to be condescending.

You forgot William Shatner, "Captain Kirk" of "Star Trek" and "Sergeant T. J. Hooker" in the television show "Hooker", Leslie Nielsen, the late John Vernon (Dean Wormer in "Animal House"), Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Elisha Cuthbert, Evangeline Lilly of "Lost" fame, Dave Thomas, Rick Moranis and the late Lorne Greene "Pa Cartwright" of the Ponderosa Ranch in the long playing series "Bonanza."

Just because some of them are funny doesn't make them comedians. Besides, I don't think the writer would've been able to do a short blurb on all of the Canadian actors or this thing would've been super long.

When Pamela Anderson was discovered at the B.C. Lions game, it would have been the 55 yard line she was brought down to.
