Go West Young Man

SAN DIEGO, CA. The LGH Television Network has confirmed that Chris Sikora has agreed to a one year contract for the television show CPE: Razor Sharp, which will be a spin off from the hugely successful CPE: The Movie. In the show, set at Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego, Sikora will reprise his role as chaplain amidst chaos, pic lines, and code blues. Rumors were previously swirling that Sikora might instead join the cast of Vitas Hospice: The Journey. When asked about it Sikora said, “It came down to the fact that I’d be driving all around all the time with Vitas, and without my carpool crew with me, the appeal was really minimal. That and the fact that the hospital setting would give me the chance to be in contact with hand sanitizer much more often.”

Some had hoped that Sikora would continue to carry food in his coat pockets at LGH, but Sikora explained, “After talking with Nicole and Joy about their commutes this last summer, I didn’t really want to commute all the way from San Diego, but I did appreciate Lee Joesten’s offer to let me fly in each day with Flight For Life.” Network executives have indicated that guest appearances by Stan Buglione and Lu Terket are likely.

Sikora follows in the footsteps of fellow cast member Anthony Silano who left LGH to participate in his own spin off CPE: Aloha which has seen Silano abandon his expiration forms and blue coat to don a Hawaiian shirt and battle killer coconuts and sea turtles. Silano’s Aloha has topped Nielsen ratings since its debut in September 2006. Silano had the following advice for Sikora, “When the going gets tough, you just have to click your heels three times and go to the White House in your mind. Oh yeah, and make sure you get good sleep, exercise, and eat well – it helps a hell of a lot with grief.”

Fantastic. Chris, you're as good a blogger as you are a chaplain.

Congrats Chris, this sounds awesome! Good choice, I don't know what I'd do if not for the multiple hand sinitizer dispensers readily accessable on every floor. Only a dimed size amount makes my whole body feel clean, my teeth whiter, and my emotions elated. Put that on your grief list Joesten Lee! I don't know about you, but I'm already looking forward to the LGH Network's holiday special, "Mele Kaliki Maka Razer Sharp", where we meet mid pacific for an APC Certification surf-off. Lucky for you I spend my days off getting out surfed by small children with their grandparents, and my nights putting aloe on my chest because I'm too cheap to buy a rash guard. Shaka brah!
