Publicly claims to be Canadian

Canada claims them back

Claimed, enthusiastically

Fun fact

Graduated from the University of Victoria with a degree in business, which he put to use creating one of the most awkward shows in television history.

The verdict

Grew up in Vancouver, honed his deadpan at the University of Victoria, then studied comedy at Second City in Toronto before heading south to make Americans deeply uncomfortable on TV. Canada still claims him with pride, even if his humour makes us squirm a little.
