If you’re eager to learn more about the many accomplishments of Jian Ghomeshi and the high regard in which he holds himself, there are three presumably reliable places to go.
There’s the CBC page of his biography.
There’s Jian’s own home page.
And there’s good old Wikipedia.
And if you do go to each of these three pages, you’ll [...]
There are those who say Gomeshi and Strombolopoulos must have photos of numerous powerful CBC executives in bed with dead women or live boys (or comatose ladyboys) for them to still be on the air. I say pshaw, fiddlesticks, and horse hockey! Jian and George are simply far too busy living their fabulous lifestyles to [...]
We all know and accept that celebrity interviews are almost entirely a charade, but it’s always fun to hear Charlie Brooker dissect it once again.
I’m in a bad mood, and Jian is annoying me tweeting about the olympics and being all annoying.

Like who THE FUCK DOES HE THINK HE IS !
With this gem – To all those tweeting/texting me: Gordon Lightfoot is not dead. We’ve spoken to his manager & confirmed. This was a prank. Dodgy journalism. [...]
In 1969, Lou Reed looked right at me
He and I go way back.
A little more than 40 years to be exact.
We met at a drab hotel on Denman Street in Vancouver, overlooking English Bay.
Lou and I sat on the floor, him eating from a box of Sunkist Raisins while I held up the microphone from [...]
A re-visit, and closer look, at the misunderstanding that captured the civilized world’s attention.
In this brief version, Jian Ghomeshi adds additional commentary, to help put it all in context.
Context, is everything.
from his remarks at Ryerson University:
“We were ready to do a half an hour interview about his, quite frankly, mediocre music, you know?”
“… but we [...]
The idea existed before he was born.
The principle is at the core of most of the shows on both radio and television.
Every aspiring journalist and broadcaster knows it instinctively, intuitively.
Almost half of what we’re exposed to is the exact same routine.
Interview someone famous and you’ll be famous.
And it’s all that Jian Ghomeshi and George Strombo [...]

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 thing on [...]
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.
Hello, my name is Jian Ghomeshi, previously known as Jean in my York University days. I think Jian sounds more ethnic and fun !
My idol is Zac Efron, we have nothing in common except the most important thing, OUR HAIR !
Imagine if I was Jian Efron ? That would be totally ethnic to the maximus and score me [...]
Are you not familar with Bizarro world ? Perhaps you should watch the clip I posted.
We always complain about ‘the usuals’ at the CBC. The offenders of boring shows that rely on American B-list celebrities or the no-talent hacks that make it on the air and stay there, because the CBC is like a girlfriend that doesn’t [...]
Just like Rodney Dangerfield, it’s tough for Jian Ghomeshi to get any respect.
George ended up with the time slot that once was his, while Jian does a show that is basically The Hour on radio but with better guests, though no billboards to promote his dimples, nor live audience to applaud his grand entrance each [...]
The once campy and innocent Royal Canadian Air Farce initiated a friendly fire attack campaign on its colleagues of the CBC.
Under the guise of a pre-tape for their New Years Eve chucklefest the event quickly became a throwdown with its tight-wad overlords of English TV. Targets included the always cuddly VP Richard Stursberg, the mortally wounded CBC News HUB, Radio [...]
