Canadian satirists ambush RFK Jr's Banff fundraiser

Like every other celebrity at the event, former astronaut Buzz Aldrin had never heard of the popular Canadian show. "So, how does Banff compare to the moon, Buzz?" asked Critch with a straight face. "Well, this is white and that's grey," responded the second man on the moon with a puzzled expression.

"Hey Buzz, if I were you, I'd be the biggest jerk in the world but you seem like a nice guy," Critch said. "I'd say, 'you can't make me wait for a table, I've been to the moon!' "

Next on the hit list was hair products guru Paul Mitchell. Critch, pulling off his tuque, asked the multimillionaire entrepreneur what he'd do with a mane like his. "I'd recommend Freeze and Shine," he said with the utmost sincerity. "You're a very handsome man."

But the best ambush came when Robert F. Kennedy Jr. went on camera. "You're a Kennedy, one of the biggest political family dynasties around," said Critch. "Are you threatened by the Canadian dynasties, like Ben Mulroney, Catherine Clark and Justin Trudeau?"

Kennedy Jr. responded earnestly. "No, you have great leaders, a great country ... what kind of show is this, anyway?"

Critch: "It's a Canadian news show ... only drunk."
