Are Regis And Kelly A Sound Investment?

I have been seeing advertisements for Regis and Kelly doing their show live from Prince Edward Island. The province is paying $750,000 dollars to bring the duo to Confederation Landing in Charlottetown July 12-15 in the hope that it will attract tourists who are fans of the show. There will undoubtedly be tourists who target PEI because the show has a large loyal audience, the question is; will it be at least $750,000 worth? Would you support your provincial government putting up that kind of money to bring Regis and Kelly to your town?

You may remember that Conan O'Brien was brought in to do a series of shows from Toronto, and it ended up shrouded in controversy after Coco sent Smigel and Triumph the insult comic dog to Quebec. True to his name, Triumph was horribly offensive.
