Laurie & Olga Show - host biography

Birthplace?~ Montreal, Quebec

What's the best thing about living in Montreal? The food, the people, the joie de vivre
Most memorable moment in your radio career? That would have to be the night that Olga and I broke the news that Princess Diana had died. We were overcome by the outpouring of grief from our listeners.....another highlight would be the first time Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo called into our show.

Favorite person you interviewed and why?
Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo has to be the best interview because he's so real and doesn't hold back.

Other than Montreal, where else would you love to live someday?
Hawaii

When you have friends visit Montreal from elsewhere for the first time, what's the one thing you insist they see/do
They have to go to Lester's Deli and experience the smoked meat!

What's the weirdest job you've ever had?
Being a talk show host on CJAD

Favorite Hobby/Pastime?
~Playing poker on Wednesday nights with "les girls"

Favorite magazine?
Canadian House and Home - I just love the decorating!

If you could have one superpower, what would it be, and why? 
Hmmm, I guess the ability to read minds

Favorite television show of all time?
The Mary Tyler Moore Show

TV Show that you'd most like to appear on, and why?
~ Deal or No Deal because it's the luck of the draw. No skill testing questions!

Famous person (living or dead) you'd most like to have lunch with
~Phyllis Diller

If they made a movie about you, what actor would you like to play you?

Whom do you admire the most?
Anyone who pays it forward but doesn't tell anyone about their good deed. That, to me, is sincere kindness and goodness. If you have to tell people "how good you are", it loses the shine.
