> I work on The Jon Dore Television Show.  Most folks know Jon as the  
> Roving Reporter on the first three seasons of Canadian Idol.  He has  
> his own show in its second season, on The Comedy Network. Jon is an  
> award winning comedian.  He was nominated for a Gemini for his work  
> in season one.
>
> Each episode has a theme and combines scripted comedy with expert  
> interviews.  That is why I’m writing.  Episode 213 is titled ‘Jon  
> Does Drugs’. I’m looking for a drug expert/historian to join us for  
> an interview.  We are hoping to sit down and discuss the history of  
> drugs in society.   This is not hard hitting but we are looking for  
> the facts.  However,  a healthy sense of humour is always a plus!
>
> The questions will be along these lines:
>
> What are drugs?
> Who invented them?
> Where do drugs come from?
> Why do people use them?
> Why are drugs illegal?
> What negative effects have drugs had on our society?
>
> I must make you aware that our show is not everyone’s cup of tea.   
> We are very irreverent – Gemini nominated but irreverent.  That  
> said, have had some impressive guests join us – the Head of  
> Psychiatry from North York General, a  Buddhist Monk, Dr. Kirsty  
> Duncan on Climate Change, Judy Rebick on equality, etc.  We are a  
> professional, tight knit crew and we treat our guests very well.   
> Jon is charming and makes even those on camera for the first time,  
> feel very comfortable.  We tape in Toronto the week of December 1st.
>
> I would like to discuss the show and the interview opportunity with  
> you at you earliest convenience.
>
> Thank you for your help.
