It will certainly make for a different kind of morning program, when the host of the Trivia Show sits in for John Moore during the Christmas season on CFRB. He's occasionally on the Friday Roundtable, so he's dealt with actual news issues before, but I can only wonder how he'll do as the sole host of the morning show. We'll find out in December.

No John Tory? Thank you, Santa!

Jason Agnew has sat in on CFRB before, I believe during COVID a couple of years ago. I seem to recall that he did alright, even with news issues, as he’s seems fairly well informed on current affairs.

Solid show prep will go a long way to helping Jason feel and sound comfortable filling in on MITM.
He's a good contributor in general on the Friday roundtable and only occasionally slips into his very upbeat game show singsong announcer voice which could be tiring to listen to on a regular morning show.
I think he'll rise to the occasion just fine. He's a natural performer.

Plus, it's Christmas, so the usual topics of gloom and doom generally take the week off, giving those shows a lighter tone most years.
