Fromage

Fromage is an annual one-hour special produced by the Canadian MuchMusic cable channel. Originally hosted by songwriter (and MuchMusic VJ) Christopher Ward, beginning in the late 1980s, Fromage pays "tribute" to music videos that are considered the worst or of the year by MuchMusic staff. Since the late 1990s, the program has been hosted by MuchMusic's acerbic puppet VJ Ed the Sock. The show traditionally airs during the Christmas season, and features a countdown of the worst music videos of the year from #40 to #1, with little tidbits and humourous comments from Ed along the way. Only selected videos are shown in their entirety. The specials are often taped in places such as cheese factories and restaurants to play up the fact that "" is French for "cheese".
