Broadway performer Cheyenne Jackson’s recurring role on the NBC Tina Fey comedy 30 Rock, in which he plays Danny, a Canadian singer not unlike Michael Bublé, brought to American television audiences mention of the Ottawa Senators, hockey “psych-up” songs and the Junos this week. And yes, it was all at our expense. Danny has already admitted he has trouble pronouncing “about.”

    The psych-up song included something about the Bank of Nova Scotia. Nice touch.

    Is this really and truly a "need to know" story? Sure, it was a funny joke, but certainly not the best in the episode, and I thought the Canadian ribbing was on-point and light-hearted – not something to be printed about in a National publication! Must be a slow news day…

    I thought it was hilarious…30-Rock is an excellent sitcom. Too bad most people can't keep up with the machine gun of wit! ;)
