To Mark Critch of 22 Minutes, Randy Quaid seemed like a guy you could sit down with on a Saturday night and have a few beers while watching the Leafs and Habs.

Quaid’s wife, Evi? Not so much.

“I definitely think she would think Bob Cole was speaking directly to her and warning her of things,” said Critch, who recently interviewed the U.S. film star and his wife for a piece that will air Tuesday night on the satirical CBC-TV show.

“It’s good to see a couple in love. Like John and Yoko, but more like John and Loco.”

Critch recently travelled to Vancouver, where the Quaids are seeking refugee status, claiming their lives are in danger from a group targeting Hollywood stars.

During a piece videotaped at Rogers Arena, home of the Vancouver Canucks, Critch said he interviewed Quaid while his wife — her head shaved in a mohawk and wearing a white bikini, Canadian hockey jersey and waving a hockey stick adorned with a Canadian flag — skated circles around them.

“We talked about what it would be like to become an actor here in Canada. I told him, ‘Look, if you did your homework, if there’s one place for a film and TV star to disappear, it’s Canada.’

“It would be perfect for him.”

Quaid wore a plaid hoser jacket and a hat with earflaps during the piece that will air the same day they go before an immigration court in Vancouver to make their case to stay in Canada.

The Quaids remain fugitives from a California court after the couple failed to appear this week for their arraignment on felony vandalism charges for the fourth time.

The U.S. court refused to schedule a new court date for the couple, instead leaving their arrest warrants active. The Quaids have forfeited more than $1 million in bail for their slew of missed appearances.

The couple maintain “Hollywood star-whackers” may be responsible for the deaths of actors such as Heath Ledger and David Carradine, and they believe they could be next.

Critch said he asked Quaid if he had any concerns that bounty hunter Duane (Dog) Chapman may be sent to get them. “But I told them not worry because it’s Canada. It’s cold and he doesn’t have sleeves.”
