EP 189 | Rick Mercer 'Talking To Canadians'

Rick Mercer, our guest this week has created an astounding career and profile. Rick achieved fame making Canadians laugh. At themselves! Rick stayed in Canada and mined comedy gold. He has released his very personal memoir, Rick Mercer. Talking to Canadians.
It’s funny, clever, and revealing from cover to cover.
He first came to fame with Show Me the Button I’ll Push It, or Charles Lynch Must Die, a one-man show that toured across Canada. He co-created and was a resident performer on CBC’s This Hour Has 22 Minutes, and was the host of The Rick Mercer Report, CBC’s highest-rated comedy show, for fifteen seasons. Rick is co-chair of the Spread the Net campaign, dedicated to preventing the spread of Malaria in Africa, and has also campaigned for the Canadian AIDS Society’s The Walk for Life project. His many honours include 21 Geminis and the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award. He is from St. John’s and currently resides in Toronto.
He shaved and cleaned up for this interview. Check out www.mulliganstew.ca for more details

I absolutely loved every minute of this interview. A side note: the Quinline quints was my favorite!! I was a huge fan of Codco, then when 22 minutes came on the quints were the sketch I sat on the edge of my seat for. Terry, I used to sit at the top on my stairs (head stuck between the banister watching Good Rock'n Tonight) watching you. Best memories ever. Canadian golden memories.
