Ever since I landed in Vancouver,
I've been watching a lot of your CBC news.
I want so badly to meet the editor.
The editor's here.
Josh invited John on stage, instant chemistry.
We have a thing called journalistic standards and practices.
There's really no need to brag.
My wife kind of shouted out in her enthusiasm that the editor is here.
There's an editor here.
And what did you think at that moment?
A quiet terror. It was just general feeling of panic
and when he kind of acknowledged us and was bantering with us,
I just thought, well, what's, you know, what is going to happen?
And then he invited me on stage.
At the moment, I didn't know anyone was recording it.
I thought, because generally, you know,
a lot of comedians don't like it when the audience records it,
so there's kind of no recording. So I figured, well,
this is just a nice little moment that I had where people, you know,
We had a laugh. People applauded
the CBC's journalistic standards and practices.
Listen, let me talk about that for a moment.
Never before in the history of the Vogue,
I feel like I can say with confidence,
has anybody made reference to our journalistic
standards and practices? Initially, I'm thinking like, what a gift.
What a gift to be able to chat
with someone and ask in real time and that they're at the show.
The whole thing just felt
Like serendipity.
And so I think that when you.
You're very open to the possibility
of like spontaneous moments being gifts.
It happens more often and we get more of the things that we look for.
And that's something that I that I look
for in everyday life and in common.
