Photo 1) Hosting the Haiti Telethon event - Friday 22nd. Photo 2) Hosting the Test the Nation event – Sunday 24th. Same exact outfit. Do you think George did the laundry on Saturday ? I mean, c’mon you spend a whole Friday night in the suit under hot studio lights, running around and then you go and wear the same [...]
He stood in the shadows. He was ready to do the job. But someone stood in his way. To get the job, George has got to go. Jian Ghomeshi is … The Understudy.
A few days ago I sent George an email with criticisms and suggestions to help improve the show. I didn’t mean for anything to sound too harsh but dammit, it had to be said ! You would think that after 15 years of broadcasting experience he would be able to handle it better. Nope ! In a [...]
Can anyone think of a better way for Canada’s public broadcaster to bring in the new year than with … Hulk Hogan. Because The Hour couldn’t. But George and The Hour are sure of one thing: if you had only Canadians as guests, no one would watch.

Julie Bristow, Executive Director, Factual Entertainment at CBC Television congratulates George on his Gemini win. Julie’s been with the CBC a long time, so if we were going to learn about broadcasting and public affairs from anyone, she’d be our first choice.
“Just a question : When did telling people ad nauseum that you like ‘The Clash’ and dressing and acting like a gay biker ever amount to coolness?” – Not a fan, ‘The Strombo Show’ SUCKS
For four hours last Sunday night CBC Radio 2 became something completely different. It became The Edge 102.1 FM, a loud litany of aimless frenetic noise.
