Jian Ghomeshi On George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight: Interview

www.cbc.ca/strombo/
The popular host of CBC's 'Q' - Jian Ghomeshi - is on the show. Jian has a new memoir called '1982', which goes back to his life as a 14-year-old kid of Persian heritage growing up in a largely white Toronto suburb. Much of '1982' is about the search for acceptance - something Jian would eventually find (although perhaps not from Billy Bob Thornton).
George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight airs Weeknights at 7 pm on CBC Television

I wonder if he mentions about Big Ears Teddy in his memoir. Teddy seems to have a special place in his heart.

[@ajittffcure]

Lovely interview. I really admire both the interviewers, George and Jian. Very interesting to see all the early footage of Jian. :-)

[@Frabjous1]

Hey, he may or may not be a criminal, but nobody can deny his talent solely on those grounds. I mean, whatever the verdict, he was entertaining.

[@debitaylor7866]

Frabjous Yes and so is a Hurricane at a safe distance, so how would you like it if one of your female family member was touched by his TALENT

[@Frabjous1]

Wait, what? Why did you even make this comment? I'm not even defending him; I'm just stating that he was entertaining, and you're making a false analogy. He was entertaining for a reason completely unrelated to his allegedly destructive nature: he was articulate and brought good content to his show. A hurricane, as you so sadistically pointed out, is entertaining to *you* _because_ of its violence, causing damage to people and property.

[@Frabjous1]

tl;dr Don't bring the completely irrelevant argument of whether "I" would like it if a loved one was abused to a *comment about someone's ability to entertain.*

[@debitaylor7866]

Frabjous You may have found him entertaining but I thought he was arrogant and self serving in anything I had seen him in. And as far as good content is concerned he interviewed who he was told to interview. And I am entitled to my opinion.I can remember many times he had made a statement only to have to back peddle.

[@Frabjous1]

Debi Taylor See, this is a proper argument because it actually contests my opinion. You are indeed entitled to your opinion, and thanks for sharing it. While I agree that he was self-serving, I would argue that you still need to be entertaining in order to weasel your way to the top. A tip: Next time, please share your opinion when it's relevant instead of starting off with an overly emotional response. Thanks!

[@rainmaker690]

I love me some Q---been listening to it for over a year on WDET in Detroit, and I like Jian's voice, as well as the show--there's always some fascinating interviews on there. Plus it's funny to see him acting so shy (nothing wrong with that) while getting interviewed for a change. He complains about his nose, but he was a cutiie when he was younger, and he looks pretty good now. for his age. I still love the show---wish I had CBC Channel 9 in Windsor back to see THE HOUR, dammit!

[@patriziamusic]

Enjoyed this interview... Thanks George.. I relate to both of you

[@XerxesTheGreatOne]

I hope he wins his case and sues everyone starting from that tabloid trash Toronto Star to everyone and anyone who made him fall from grace. Three women filing 4 charges going back over a decade ago... seems legit... and everyone jumped on the band wagon to beat the guy while he was down with no regards for due process and courts ruling. Canada lost a real talent here and no one is accountable.

"I was about twelve...and i remember thinking, I would love to be in the media someday, but that's never going to happen..."

[@bipolarexpedition]

I need to relate an incident involving my wife & Jian Ghomeshi. You people can judge whether we should report it to police. My wife was walking home one rainy night after a yoga session. She made the mistake of taking a shortcut along a dark & narrow walkway, railed on both sides. Directly in her path, as if waiting for her, was Jian Ghomeshi. My wife stopped in her tracks, startled, while Ghomeshi just stared at her. After regaining her composure, my wife politely but firmly asked Ghomeshi to step aside so she could pass. He apparently refused to do so, & continued to menacingly block her path. At this point my wife became flustered, & fearing something bad was about to happen, she began to plead with him to let her go, that she had a husband & child, that she just wanted to get home... Ghomeshi still refused to budge. It was only after several minutes of begging Ghomeshi not to harm her that my wife finally realized it wasn't Ghomeshi after all. In fact, it wasn't even a person. It was a large garbage bag. Badly shaken, my wife pushed by the bag,& continued home. When she got home she made a ham sandwich. She wanted to put mustard on it but there was none. Now, all this time later, in light of recent developments, we're both struggling with whether to go public with this incident & formally report it to the police.

[@RiotHouseLP]

He wrote this life story because he wanted to paint a picture of himself that would precede the 12 lawsuits filed against him for sexual misconduct. BDSM and teddy bears, thats some pretty sick stuff.

Navigator said “the circumstances of our engagement have changed and we are no longer able to continue.”" Called it!! (This morning.) No one wants to be within 100 miles of this guy. Well, except maybe LIGHTS. I just threw out all her CD's. Hiliarious bit?: Navigator never discusses their clients they have always said. But they had to make a big public announcement that Jian was No LONGER a client. Lol!! I wonder what PR firm Navigator hired to figure this one out?!? lol!! Lance Armstrong just 'Liked' Jian's Facebook page -- he finally has someone's who's hated more than him! See ya, Jian! In jail.

[@shawnwhite4ever]

Q sucks without him, CBC is less without him. He should start his own thing.

[@adelewhippleberry2453]

Agreed. Wether the allegations are true or false, he was really good at his job and is deeply missed.

[@XerxesTheGreatOne]

+Terrance Hill there is 3 women with one (the strongest case against Ghomeshi) obviously discredited when it was revealed that she was trying to seduce him with revealing "bikini" photo of herself months after she alleges the assault took place. Also there were other emails she sent to Ghomeshi where she attached her contact info and phone number with again hopes of meeting him months after the alleged assault, all the while she was in a serious committed relationship with someone else. So this dame was obviously, bitter, jealous and crazy and rightfully discredited. Please make the appropriate correction in your statement.

[@XerxesTheGreatOne]

+Shawn White Agreed. CBC is less without him and Q is nothing without him being there.

[@stuartmorrison3959]

He calls himself an "outsider" because of his ethnicity, but if you freeze frame his high school class picture, he totally fits in. I used to think he was merely a whining narcissist, but now of course he is so much more. Hopefully, he will neither be seen nor heard in Canada again.

[@innismor11]

McLean's Magazine, 11/06/2014: "But years before his rise as a feminist hero, he had a reputation as a male feminist pig, at least according to Kerry Eady, who attended York in 1988-89 and lived in Stong residence. Eady recalls attending a meeting with 25 other women convened by female residence advisers at Stong before Christmas 1988 to warn them, after a few women had reported having “bad dates” with (Jian) Ghomeshi. Those allegations involving hitting; one women claimed she’d been choked in the stairwell. In echoes of responses to alleged harassment at the CBC 25 years later, the York women were told to be vigilant-and to work around him, Eady told Maclean’s. “We were told to report his presence in co-ed floors or at house parties so residence advisers could escort him out. He was considered a creep.”" That's 26 years ago ...... Jian Ghomeshi was 21 years of age then.

[@hotelbastard7853]

I was so sad when I’d heard of the passing of Gomeshi. What about Q?

[@lanaleprich]

He's not dead, just cancelled.

[@davidbroughall3782]

Marie Henein nailed Tom Mulcair to the cross yesterday (March 29th), in her interview with Peter Mansbridge. With Mulcair weighing in on the Ghomeshi case, (Hashtag I believe survivors), she said that he denigrated the legal system in which he has worked in order to gain political support. There are a few other ill-informed politicians who did the exact same thing for the exact same reason.

[@rowdyyeats9986]

I used to think that the opposite of love is not hate, or hatred, but indifference. For if you love another, you will get angry if you see him, or her, doing something wrong. But then I realized that that is only true for that scenario, being a passive observer of another's affairs. For if another you "fancy" hurts you, you may react with indifference, because you love her so. But if you do NOT care for her, and she hurts your feelings, you are apt to "clock her". I mean to say, hurt her back, double, and then some more - so she will know, not to "mess" with you, again. From one of those Dirty Harry movies : "Now, you gotta ask yourself a question, Do I feel lucky?"

I have watched this video before & no doubt commented on it at the time. I just want to add in this comment that these two young men have so much greatness & potential in their futures that this interview will be looked back upon in the future no differently than the early interviews shown in this video as quaint, innocent & humorous. There is no question that we will look back on this interview in the same way. These sons of Canada are a source of pride & without question will achieve far greater things in their lives in the future. George & Jian are both interesting, intelligent, well spoken journalists/interviewers & I wish them all the best. Two great minds & decent fellows on one stage. A brief moment in history to fondly remember.

[@mikefralick81]

lol, this post is interesting to take a look at, 6 months later. Now that we know Jian here is a fraudulent prick who preys upon, manipulates, and physically abuses women, I don't think he'll achieve "far greater things" in his future! Maybe George though...

That failed, but they did manage to take him down, to the delight of multitudes, but he'll make a comeback. Ladies, eat your heart out. You can't own him!

[@innismor11]

Jian clearly still believes all his fans are imbeciles .... tells them about his $50MM+ lawsuit against the CBC, when he knows full well that a unionized employee can't sue his employer for employment contract matters -- $50 or $50MM, dudn't matter. He can file a grievance via his union and they can take it all the way to arbitration. The court will throw his suit out before the end of the week. But Jian doesn't tell his fans all that. Turns out, Jian doesn't tell his fans a lot, expect that he is an open and honest guy --- yes, he does tell his adoring fans that. Question for his adoring female fans and dates: what part of "I want to hate-f***" on the first date doesn't not set off alarm bells for you? Women have been reading too much Fifty Shades of Grey ... not sure they've any grey-matter left.

+comedycat2 It is NOT "abusing" a woman if it's consensual and there are no complainants and both parties are willing. CBC is not an authority on one's sexual preferences. As such they can not reserve judgment on individuals and their sexual preferences nor do they have the right to punish someone by means of a firing because they are into BSDM.

Talk about a fall from grace. I wondered why he was no longer on Q CBC. Then I did some research and I was shocked. Some of the accuser sound like the Bill Cosby accusers. And it is pretty sad that someone you thought was a cool person is in reality the complete opposite. I wonder if there is more to this story then what the media is letting us know, maybe they wanted Jian out for a long time and this was the perfect opportunity to do it.

That's fine, but "young" doesn't mean immature, egocentric narcissists, who are as transparent as jellyfish (one of them, apparently as dangerous). In addition I heard a CBC executive making disparaging and dismissive remarks about listeners over 65. According to Statistics Canada, 2011, " Population aged 60 to 64 growing most rapidly Of all five-year age groups, the 60 to 64 year old group experienced the fastest increase, at 29.1% . This suggests that population aging will accelerate in Canada in the coming years, as the large baby boom generation, those born between 1946 and 1965, reaches 65 years old. The first baby boomers reached 65 years old in 2011" THEY DISREGARD US AT THEIR PERIL. Bring back the dignity and integrity of people like Peter Gzoski (sp)

What exactly makes this guy in any way talented at ANYTHING.

[@mottahead6464]

Jian Ghomeshi was on top of his thing when he got interviewed by Strombo. I've met the guy once : he went onstage to introduce a musical act. Before walking onstage he was surrounded by what looked like media or tv people and he looked really nervous. Then he walked up the stage and did a great job, he has a great voice and knows how to make good use of it. His case is really complex : there's talk of his being the biggest star at CBC at the time and acting like a prima donna. There's also talk of CBC producers receiving an envelope containing photos portraying bruises on a woman's body allegedly the result of an encounter with Jian Ghomeshi. He was accused of sexual abuse, went to court and got acquitted (since his accusers' tactics were proven to be deceptive - and one has to wonder why they lied). He came from being a Canadian immigrant success story to fodder for racists. Yet sometimes I wonder whether his biggest "crime" was being successful in a white man's world.

[@mottahead6464]

@Biz Nasty You don't need to call me names. And I'm aware of this quest for ultimate purity of intentions by the radical left. And I do agree that this self-righteous attitude can turn itself into a sort of cannibalism thing with the radical left eating its own. And on my comment, the last line is a question. As an explanation, it's over simplistic and way too partial. The guy was acquitted yet it seems like he was no angel, with reports implying his prima donna behaviour while working at the CBC.

I can't be the only one who always thought he came off as phony and arrogant. I never bought him as genuine.
