guests - Richard Roeper from Chicago, because locals Geoff Pevere and Peter Howell not good enough to attract an audience.
Also a guy who has a TV show in America.

No Canadians available for tonight's The Hour

Here is a vision of what The Hour could be, one that people seemed to like.
This was a format that had a huge rating, and even drew fans of Ben Mulroney and Cheryl Hickey.
Anyone and everyone would watch this show.
Even people who work at the CBC.
Even Diane Buckner would watch this show, and think she missed something if she skipped a night.A group of interesting Canadians gather together each evening to discuss the days events and listen to some musical performances.
The group changes from night to night, according to whoever wants to drop by, made up of both local residents and those in town briefly.
George wanders around making casual conversation.
It's a party.
And the format still allows for having scheduled guests, from anywhere, and always entirely in a Canadian context.
It would look a lot more classy and Canadian than trying to do the Tonight Show on the cheap.So why isn't this done?
Too expensive?Attachments

It's never been done before, & the CBC only sticks to what is tried & true (and what the market researchers tell them to do.)

You mean Gzowski LIve? Yes, that has been done. Had interesting guests, but no drive, no stamina.
George will leave eventually, giving this obscure radio guy Jee-Anne the opportunity to smarm relentlessly and mug on TV as we hear him doing on radio.
CBC, get competence, without writer/prompters. The old days of a few years ago were better than today.
And the PPMeters show it. -
Strombo is like a really cool Mike Bullard now.
