The Week Thus Far is a Canadian late-night talk show written and produced by the brightest up-and-comers in Manitoba's comedy scene. The program is hosted by the comedian Dan Huen and his co-host Ben Walker.[1] The Week Thus Far deviates from the classic late-night show format by its inclusion of a news desk (à la Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update), where it focuses on the major (and petty) issues that impact Canadians and their communities. In addition to the TV broadcast, on Shaw TV, it has a website and print publication.
The Week Thus Far has been praised in several magazines and newspapers including: Uptown magazine[2] and Stylus Magazine.[3]
The Week Thus Far airs throughout Manitoba.
Television[edit]
The Week Thus Far tapes in front of a live audience at The Kings Head on Monday nights and airs on Shaw TV the next evening and throughout the week. The show can also be viewed online.
The theme song for the show was written by Rusty Matyas of Imaginary Cities.
Previous guests have included Winnipeg City Councillor Gord Steeves, nationally syndicated agony aunt Miss Lonelyhearts (Maureen Scurfield), CJOB traffic reporter Brian Barkley, and children's performer Fred Penner.
Online[edit]
Its website WeekThusFar.com contains numerous satirical news articles about local, national and international current events. Select articles from the website are featured in The Week Thus Far print edition, a free quarterly publication distributed at retail outlets, in coffee shops, at the University of Manitoba and University of Winnipeg, as well as at local events.
