Curling for Loonies is a Canadian sports program filmed at Paramountie Studios.

Behind the Laughter[edit]

  • The program's name is a pun on either Dialing for Dollars or Bowling for Dollars. ("Loonie" is a common nickname for Canada's one-dollar coin.)
  • The host's comment about "both" of their viewers being thrilled by the fight is a tongue-in-cheek reference to curling being a generally little-known sport in most of the world, although it is very popular in Canada.
