'Fearsome and fearless journalist' Jim Nunn dead at 72
Nunn died in hospital in Antigonish, N.S., on Sunday night. He was 72. No date has been set for a funeral, but his family said there will be a celebration of life planned for some time in the spring.
Bruce said he's read condolence messages online from people talking about how his brother had an impact on their career. D'Eon said some viewers found Nunn's interviewing style to be rude and occasionally offensive. D'Eon recalled getting letters about it."I always found his interviewing style to be very candid and he pulled no punches and he always wanted to get to the heart of the matter ... this was especially true with his interviews with politicians," D'Eon said, adding some politicians didn't want to be interviewed by Nunn because they were intimidated by him.
Dunsworth, who played Jim Lahey on the show, replied, "You'll have to forgive Mr. Nunn, I think he's giving a Pat Robertson impersonation."Trailer Park Boys: Don't Legalize It5 years agoIn 2008, John Dunsworth was interviewed by former CBC Nova Scotia anchor Jim Nunn about the original Trailer Park Boys series coming to an end.
