A Canadian reporter filed a police complaint Wednesday, claiming that a comedian licked him while he was reporting live on TV, according to a report.
Chris Glover, of CBC Toronto, was covering a story at a Toronto comedy club Tuesday evening when a man – who was later identified as Boyd Banks – was seen approaching him from behind. The man appears to hover over Glover’s shoulders for a few moments before he allegedly licked his left ear.
Glover wrapped up the story, telling host Dwight Drummond: "Things are getting a little awkward out here, so I'm going to pass it back to you Dwight."
