American Josh Johnson, a standup comedian and occasional host of The Daily Show, was cracking jokes about CBC's coverage of a bodega cat getting evicted due to health concerns, during his show at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver last month.

"I want so badly to meet the editor," Johnson quipped.

A voice from the audience shouted out: "He's here!"

A befuddled Johnson replied: "The cat's here?"

Nope.

"The editor's here!" shouted the crowd.

That was gold. Josh Johnson is awesome.

I am actually watching a Josh Johnson set while reading this. Very amusing coincidence.

Holy shit, a publication that still employs copy editors.

Oh, I did happen to encounter the long line of people outside The Vogue theatre trying to get into the Josh Johnson show, after my election canvassing volunteer shift. Sounds like it was a fun show.

Weird that they're kinda dressed alike.

This is what the nerfed CBC is now, journalism about bodega cats.
