Comedian’s remarks ‘inappropriate’: Heritage Minister Melanie Joly
OTTAWA — Comedian Russell Peters’s performance as host of the Junos on Sunday night is getting a bad review from Heritage Minister Melanie Joly.
Peters, who hosted the music awards ceremony in Ottawa along with musician Bryan Adams, introduced the minister before she presented an award alongside artist Coleman Hell.
“With him is the minister of heritage, Melanie Joly,” Adams said.
“I don’t know why, but she’s hot, so who cares?” Peters replied.
