Comedy Inc. was a highly successful satirical sketch show that aired on CTV from 2003 to 2007. The program featured a talented cast of comedians, including Paul McCarthy, Jim Russell, and Emily Taheny, who were all known for their unique and hilarious comedy styles. The show was characterized by its irreverent humor, wit, and sharp satire, which often touched on controversial topics and current events.

Each episode of Comedy Inc. was divided into several different sketches that lampooned a wide variety of subjects, from politics and celebrity culture to everyday life and pop culture. Some of the recurring characters featured on the program included a cranky old man named Harold, who would often rant about the modern world, and a dim-witted construction worker named Rocky who would constantly find himself in absurd situations. The show also featured numerous celebrity impersonations, with McCarthy famously taking on the role of George W. Bush, and Taheny embodying the likes of Paris Hilton and Madonna.

One of the most unique features of Comedy Inc. was the fact that the sketches were filmed in a variety of locations, from parks and malls to offices and warehouses. The show also made use of special effects and animation to enhance the comedy and create a more dynamic viewing experience. The result was a fast-paced and visually engaging program that kept audiences laughing from start to finish.

Comedy Inc. quickly became one of the most popular shows on Canadian television, garnering both critical acclaim and a loyal fan base. The program was praised for its originality, sharp writing, and standout performances from its talented cast. McCarthy, Russell, and Taheny all received widespread recognition for their work on the show, with McCarthy winning a Gemini Award for Best Performance in a Comedy Program or Series in 2005.

Overall, Comedy Inc. was a groundbreaking program that pushed the boundaries of what was possible in Canadian comedy. Its legacy can still be felt today, as it paved the way for other successful sketch shows like The Kids in the Hall and The Baroness Von Sketch Show. Though the program has been off the air for over a decade, it remains a beloved classic among Canadian audiences and a testament to the power of humor to bring people together.
