As a librarian, this question tickles me.
Canadian here, so I don’t know if I know all the right celebrities… But I have two wildcard ideas that could be fun.
Certainly one episode would have a baking challenge which adds a fun juxtaposition between her and the usual comedians - but I also think she’d be up for trying new things and thinking significantly differently than many of the other contestants.
I don’t know how well Steven Smith Jr., CM (better known as Red Green) broke out of Canada. He’s our plaid-clad icon who uses duct tape if it moves and it shouldn’t, and WD40 if it doesn’t move but it should. His show ended almost 20 years ago. I think an old rural handyman would have some clever engineering tricks up his sleeve for a lot of tasks.
I heard this episode of 99pi last week. The more I think about it, the more I like nails.
Good question. None that I think would be fun for the general public…
… although…
Perhaps you might enjoy the 1976 Canadian novel “Bear”, which features an Archivist as the protagonist. It won the Governor General’s Literary Award when it came out.
