Thus we have the new weekly MuchMore series The Week That Was, hosted by Onrait, which debuts Sunday, July 24.

Onrait, best known for his work on TSN's SportsCentre, took some baby steps in the process of reinvention when he served as co-host of Olympic Morning on CTV during the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver.

In this new gig, Onrait supposedly will be talking about everything from pop culture to local news. It sounds a bit broad and vague on paper, so we'll have to see if The Week That Was coalesces into something more definable as it progresses.

Sounds like a Canadian version of The Soup?

Funniest guy on television. I don't know how much TSN pays him, but he deserves more.

Will watch him in his new episodes!

Another example of how badly Sportsnet gets crushed by its biggest competitor. TSN has O'Toole and Onrait, Sportsnet has... Don Taylor?!?!

Jay Onrait is about as funny as Mike Lownsbrough used to be, but with a bit more polish.

Urgh!

I think you missed the point. It's frigging hilarious, not because he said Boner on tv, it's frigging hilarious because he does an Alan Thicke, Growing Pains impersonation on 2010 tv.

Just watched the first episode, and I gotta say, it was pretty darn funny. There were some totally hilarious lines, and I loved the Degrassi basketball coach sketches. Also Jays nude scene and speech had me in stitches!

I have to admit though, it felt kind of awkward having literally only 5 or 6 people in the studio audience. It would have been better without any studio audience at all in my opinion. Let the jokes stand for themselves.

Really? I kind of thought it was a train wreck. I was cringing the whole time.

I think having 5-people awkwardly laughing at his jokes really added to the cringe-factor for sure. Studio audiences need to be big and rowdy, or nonexistent. A handful of random people is just weird.

I still feel most of the jokes stood on their own though. I'm betting we'll see a lot more polish in future episodes.

It was kind of awkward with the 2 or 3 people laughing but it's still new.

Onrait is still a billion times better than Jimmy Fallon was when he started his show. Now THAT was awkward.

Is Fallon still pretty terrible?

and how big of an Onrait fan am I? this is the first time a non-hd show has ever made it onto my pvr! Thats over 4 years now.
