Rick Mercer on George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight: Interview

www.cbc.ca/strombo/
Rick dropped by for our premiere episode of the season to talk about his new book, 'A Nation Worth Ranting About,' and the tenth season of his own show, the 'Rick Mercer Report.'

[@Room142]

I love both these guys so much. They have so much to teach us. Diligent, intelligent, altruistic and amicable at the same time. If only more TV stars could be like them...

[@LIMEGREEN2772]

I completely agree with you!

[@Za3rour]

a lot of love for Rick Mercer.

[@braea6376]

Hopefully in time, both of these men go down as Canadian heroes!

[@qwaqwa1960]

A Canadian treasure. Keep it up Rick. And George.

[@JonathanMahoney]

Epic duo.

[@sandrajovic9304]

Agree

[@vmwindustries]

Wow! What a great few minutes! Two of the top people in television, together in one show! That was great!

[@eirwen5]

I saw him at UNBC two years ago. He seems so awesome and down to earth, and I think he's what we Canadians need. I wish more people would listen to him.

[@natassorrow537]

You’re what we love about Canada

[@natassorrow537]

You’re hip hop, the education. All I’m gonna say. Education. #Snowgoons, #Onyx, #realism

[@jfish032]

THIS IS JOURNALISM. Take note America.

[@natassorrow537]

I love you. You’re just real, and that’s all....nothing better than belief

[@Liberty6Guns]

2/3 of my favorite Canadians. Awesome. Get David Suzuki in here and epicness would ensue

[@KatyaArifinisnotreal]

George was on Rick's show 10 years ago (I think), and now Rick is on George's show!

[@stormshaker2769]

Speeding Turtle Rick's been on George's show twice

[@presencegirl]

The new graphics look SO GOOD

[@patrickhobbs3962]

We aren't a nation that rants easily, so I am glad we have Rick Mercer. He's a smart, humourous, caring person who chooses his fights carefully.

[@sandrajovic9304]

Him and Steve Smith and Don Cherry

[@Denison935]

​@@sandrajovic9304don't forget Ron James 👍

[@az0963818]

That would be great!

[@vmwindustries]

When I turn on the TV every night"!! Lmao

[@MartyMullen711]

It's true, Rick! Every Canadian owns all of Canada. :)

[@monstersofthemidw100]

i really wish the hour would upload full interviews. Here in the states we can't view your great programming canada!

[@KelliReimer]

Love you Rick Mercer! You represent our country well!!!

[@CanadianBear47]

Rick For Prime Minister!

[@vampjoseph]

Rick Mercer for Prime Minister

[@chadyou812]

Mutually Parasitic Relationship - brilliant

[@3506Dodge]

I've gotten more sure as I've gotten older. I don't tolerate things I would have years ago.

[@onelove1968]

probably just didn't have the time for you. sour grapes. rick is the BEST.

[@GagarinCCCP]

I want to see Jon Stewart on Stromboulopoulos

[@sandrajovic9304]

Strombo is like Ellen (s show) only WAY BETTER

[@CatherineElizabethCharlesworth]

Ellen is not a lesbian.

[@JamieHumeCreative]

I miss the Report and the Stromno Show.

[@seanwebb605]

Wow I hate Strombo. You can see he is just annoyed by the actual responses as he tries to get onto the next thing on his list. Wow I hate this guy. Mercer I like.

[@ALEXIP1003]

3 people are not good at ranting

[@OlJimbo]

liberal over conservative anyday.

[@danholtby1635]

Moron!!!

[@eirwen5]

meh to each their own

[@danholtby1635]

Awesome!! Even though Rick is gay!! And I was surprised to say the least!! He is by far one of Canada's greatest !! And that part about Politicians looking you directly in the eyes and lying their asses off because they know they will get away with their bullshit, is 100% correct!! Canada misses Rick Mercer!!!

[@JonathanMahoney]

Epic duo.
