GERI HALL is the raspy-voiced redhead who spent five seasons co-starring as a roving reporter and anchor on the news desk of the long-running CBC hit television show, ‘This Hour Has 22 Minutes.’ Geri got her start as a cast member at Toronto’s legendary sketch and improv destination, The Second City. If you didn’t see her getting handcuffed by the Prime Minister on 22 Minutes -and staying in character all the while - then her face may also be familiar from dozens of other shows and television commercials, including the role of Cynthia in DJ Demers ONE MORE TIME, Astrid And Lilly Save the World, Little Italy, At The Hotel, the CBC’s The Blobheads, Little Mosque on The Prairie, The Ron James Show, The Mercer Report and Murdoch Mysteries …and yes, that jalapeno cheese commercial.
She is the very proud holder of awards and/or nominations from the Writer’s Guild, Canadian Comedy Awards, the Geminis and Canadian Screen Awards.
