| Say Bye to 2004 with WWE Diva Trish Stratus and Royal Canadian Air Farce |

on Wednesday, December 15, 2004 - 05:28 PM |
There are some new holds, twists and throws as Royal Canadian Air Farce takes its annual shot at laughing out the old year on 2004: YEAR OF THE FARCE, New Year's Eve at 8 p.m. on CBC Television.
The Farce foursome has morphed into a six-some this season, as originals Roger Abbott, Don Ferguson and Luba Goy and recent newcomer Jessica Holmes are joined by versatile sketch player Craig Lauzon and satiric commentator Alan Park.
Adding to the fun this New Year's Eve is special guest, five-time World Wrestling Entertainment® Womens Champion, Trish Stratus. The Toronto-born WWE superstar is a household name for wrestling fans, and she's developing a reputation in comedy, too-with appearances on Fox's Mad TV and on stage with Toronto's famous The Second City. Stratus promises "Stratusfaction Guaranteed*." Also dropping by with his annual laugh-back at the year is national treasure Dave Broadfoot, and other surprise guests.
It wouldn't be New Year's Eve without the multiple firing of the Chicken Cannon Target of the Year. The Farce is still counting nominations, but the top ten range from politicians like Alfonso Gagliano and Carolyn Parrish to the lovable Spongebob Squarepants to the NHL negotiations between Gary Bettman and Bob Goodenow. Whoever the target, the ammunition is sure to be messy.
The Royal Canadian Air Farce's New Year's Eve Special repeats at 10:30 p.m., and the Air Farce will be back at 11:55 p.m. for their traditional countdown to midnight and 2005. Count down the final minutes of 2004 and welcome the new year with Jessica Holmes and Craig Lauzon. They'll show some comedy clips, check the clock, and count down the final 30 seconds of the year. At the stroke of midnight, Jeff Healey's Jazz Wizards will launch into a swinging version of Auld Lang Syne, providing the soundtrack for Canadians everywhere to toast the new year. Laughs and the accurate time-plus, a monkey riding a dog and Rex Murphy in a thong-what a way to spend New Year's Eve!
Continue the comedic journey to 2005 at 9 p.m. on CBC Television with Just For Laughs New Year's Special. Hosted by Shaun Majumder's slick alter ego Raj Binder, the special features performances by Wayne Brady, Caroline Rhea, Tim Allen, Tom Arnold, Lewis Black, Tammy Pescatelli, Omid Djalili and many more. It's a sneak preview of the upcoming Just for Laughs TV series that starts in January. This show repeats at 11:30 p.m. with a break at 11:50 p.m. for the countdown to midnight.
