Canada’s been there before:

Dick Assman (1934 - ) is a Saskatchewan petrol station owner whose name propelled him to celebrity status across North America in 1995. Assman, who worked at Petro-Canada’s Victoria Square Mall station in Regina, was discovered by David Letterman, who was amused by his name. Assman was lavishly introduced on July 24, 1995, on The Late Show with David Letterman, where he was a nightly feature for about a month.

Yeah, when this story came up, first thing I thought of was Dick Assman. Especially with it being in Canada.

We used to actually watch Letterman occasionally back then.

There is an Assawoman Bay in Delaware. Seriously.
