Mike Bullard (born June 12, 1957 in Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada) is the former host of the late-night talk shows Open Mike with Mike Bullard on CTV and The Mike Bullard Show on Global.

 CTV re an episode of Open Mike with Mike Bullard
The April 24, 2002 episode of the late night talk show Open Mike with Mike Bullard, broadcast by CTV beginning at 12:04 am, contained a number of references to Roman Catholic priests (a transcript of all the relevant comments from that episode of Open Mike can be found in Appendix A).
The second reference, which involved a set-up early in the program, was part of a conversation between Bullard and the show’s resident band leader, Orin Isaacs, who asked Bullard how he had been able to deter some boys from hanging outside the studio and terrorizing guests.
To add insult to injury, Bullard told a clergy paedophile joke during the monologue and show guest Rick Green bragged of his Catholic bashing on his “History Bites” television show and the complaints that the show had gotten to broadcast regulators.

I never watched Bullard's CTV/Comedy Network show much, usually only tuning in if there was a guest that I wanted to see, but judging by his new show on Global, I didn't miss much.
This is not a slam against Mike Bullard.
Seven years on the air with The Comedy Network is a long time for any Canadian talk show to stay on the air so the move over to Global TV was probably the wrong move for Mike Bullard which ended up a cancelled show last month.
