The Toronto Sun reports that veteran Yuk’s comic Wayne Flemming has been sentenced to probation after pleading guilty to sexual assault — involving a teenager. If that sounds bad you should read the charges they dropped. Well go ahead, read it.
I met Wayne all of once, a dozen years ago, when he and Kenny Robinson were sent down to Welland for a Tuesday one-nighter at Niagara College (not sure what that room is like now, but it was hell back then). He seemed like a great guy, but being the bff of Jim Carrey, he was a kept man if anything went haywire (and it soon would). I suspect he was very aware of this.
He mostly fell off the Canadian comedy radar after his post-brain aneurysm comeback, but… well, at least he was meeting people, right?
Incidentally, in true Sun style, they manage to pull at least one fact out of nowhere: Flemming suffered his aneurysm in 2000, not 1995 as they report. Don’t go changin’, Sun Media.

He had her at Rindercella – absolutely slayed me. Well played.
