PopCultured is a Canadian television talk show, which aired on The Comedy Network in 2005 and 2006.[1] The program featured stand-up comedian Elvira Kurt and other cast members (Jean Paul, Laurie Elliott, David Reale, Ellen McKinney, Jamillah Ross and Levi MacDougall) poking fun at celebrities in the context of a mock newscast similar to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, with one interview guest at the centre of each episode.[2]

The show was widely panned by critics,[2] and was canceled after one season, in early 2006, due to poor ratings.
