A Canadian celebrity
Canadian standup comedian and broadcaster Mike Bullard has died, his family confirmed Sunday.
A longtime standup comedian, Bullard hosted two late-night talk shows — Open Mike with Mike Bullard, which ran from 1997 to 2003 on CTV, and The Mike Bullard Show, which aired briefly on Global from 2003 to 2004. He won two Gemini awards for the CTV show.
Mark Breslin, the founder and CEO of comedy bar chain Yuk Yuk's, worked with Bullard and told CBC Toronto on Sunday that he was also a "very good friend" for more than three decades.
Breslin described Bullard as a "fantastic comedian" who particularly excelled at emcee and hosting work. "Crowd work was his specialty, and he was probably the best in the country," Breslin said.
