Cineplex pre-show host Tanner Zipchen was let go on Monday.
The media personality took to social media to announce his termination.

Zipchen started his career in radio in Saskatoon, conducting interviews with musicians, actors, and entertainment icons. Eventually, he took his show on the road, travelling across Canada to interview guests at comic cons.
