American Josh Johnson, a standup comedian and occasional host of The Daily Show, was cracking jokes about CBC’s coverage of a bodega cat getting evicted due to health concerns, during his show at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver last month.

“I want so badly to meet the editor,” Johnson quipped.

A voice from the audience shouted out: “He’s here!”

A befuddled Johnson replied: “The cat’s here?”

Nope.

“The editor’s here!” shouted the crowd.
