I haven't seen that one, but I recall on one of the cooking shows, I think it was "Chopped" one of the mystery ingredients was a whole bird in a can -- can't remember if it was chicken, duck, pheasant, or whatever. But it was in there, bones and all. It did not look good.
As far as canned hams go, I can't say I buy them often, but have had a few over the years. I typically chop them up - maybe use in a soup or something like that. I've never eaten it like a nice baked holiday ham. When I make homemade split pea soup, I'll usually use smoked ham hocks for the flavor, then after they simmer for a couple hours, pull off whatever meat I can and return to the pot when I discard the bones. Then I'll supplement with some chopped ham, and canned actually isn't bad for that, assuming you don't have a leftover real ham.
I didn't stock up on them before the impending doom of this plague -- I was too busy searching for toilet paper
