CBC announced the renewal of long-running sketch comedy series "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" for its 31st season. Canada’s longest-running TV comedy series continues to push the boundaries of provocative satire, targeting politics, culture and world events with biting parodies and an unrelenting skewering of the weekly news. The finale of "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" 30th anniversary season airs Tuesday, March 28 at 8 p.m. (8:30 NT) on CBC and CBC Gem.

According to a CBC reporter who attended, Majumder said "creative differences" played a part in his decision.
