[3] Geri Hall is also known for her attempt to interview Prime Minister Stephen Harper for the CBC comedy series 22 Minutes during the 2008 federal election campaign in Halifax, Nova Scotia on September 12, 2008.

She was not arrested and instead got an exclusive interview with Harper, who said he had never watched 22 Minutes, and asked Hall: "Do you like handcuffs?

"[4] They were really going to take me to the station, because they maybe didn't know who I was or maybe did know who I was, depends on how you want to believe it.Hall did a similar stunt on March 4, 2009, when she attempted to poke fun at Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty's new rule requiring reporters to stand five feet back.

It was poorly received due to Hall attempting it in the middle of questions on U.S. Steel's decision to shut down several mills.

Kormos later said "The timing of it was totally inappropriate, you've got a press gallery trying to hold the premier accountable when a few thousand workers just lost their jobs."
