Torts is usually must-see TV as is whenever he dishes his unsolicited opinions

He looks cold and tired behind the bench. I think a warm studio and a mic would be more suitable for present day Torts.

Find a particularly dislikable media personality (Eric Francis comes to mind) and watch Darryl absolutely destroy him on air.

Just like Ron & Don in the old days. Even the young people will tune into that.
LOL!!! Yeah...right. The whole point is to talk not just sit there and be grumpy!

Is that caption supposed to be English?

About as coherent as he is on the panel when he goes off on a tangent.

Like what you like and all that, but this is genuinely one of the weirdest interpretations of Strombo’s vibe I’ve ever seen lol.

Ron MacLean is to Strombo as Jay Leno is to Conan...

Anyway Ron has always been worthless in his own right. His only talent was the ability to act as a foil and a rudder for Cherry's bombast and keep those segments on the rails. At some point he arrived at the view that he was, himself, someone who should have a voice on anything, and has been unbearable ever since. David Amber was totally fine. Marek was fine. Duthie is fine. Those guys understand what a studio host is. Ron thinks he's the star of the show. Cannot stand the guy.

The "Behind the Mask segment with Kelly Hrudey" should be resurrected.
