Fergie Olver trap

Do you remember Fergie Olver?
He was the dude who hosted that crap cooking game show for kids called "Just Like Mom" with his wife.
The guy ... never. shut up.

So when I get stuck next to a stranger who decides at 6:38 in the morning to tell me his entire life story while waiting for the bus, then on the bus, then on the train, I'm reminded of Fergie Olver. And when I get stuck with someone like him, I call it a Fergie Olver trap.

This guy talked my ear off -- and I was wearing earbuds. Earbuds!

How about you just shut the hell up?

    I can't recall the host but I totally remember the show. At the end the moms had to taste nasty creations and guess which one their kids made. I'm off to YouTube some clips now!

    haha I totally remember this show as a kid. Can't recall the host much either, but I totally remember how disgusting the kids' creations were. And the looks on their moms' faces as they were forced to try it.

    Because I'm a stickler for these things, his last name was actually OLVER, no "i" . . . weird, eh? Yep, I sure remember him. As I recall he was married to Miss Canada or Miss Universe? And I think he might have done the sports on one of the Toronto stations. Nothing like a crappy Canadian game show where the GRAND prize was a Brother typewriter.
