The Hour

Hey there is this really amazing show on CBC Newsworld called The Hour: with George Stroumboulopoulos, and is hosted by a guy named, well, George Stroumboulopoulos. George used to be a VJ on Much Music (and a damn good one I might add) and "as producer and host of The Punk Show, host of The NewMusic, LOUD and MuchNews". He was asked to host a segment on Tommy Douglas during CBC's Greatest Canadian Ever show and wouldn't you know it Tommy won the polls and was crowned The Greatest Canadian, George was given a show and CBC was blessed with a hit.
Now I don't know if you all could figure it out but it is a news type show (I guess they call it a variety news show or something) and it is incredible and the reasons the show is so incredible are varied such as things like the fact that he has regular contributers as well as other guests who come from all sides of the political spectrum (he also gives them chances to answer or state their view even if he doesn't agreee with them...take that O'Riely). Or all of the pop-culture references and stories. Or because he does a show geared for 20-30 somethings that deals with intense topics, actual news and does it in a way that treats us like we have a brain and may care about more than the latest hollywood gossip. He does all these stories in short-form and then does a few stories in depth and then if the story requires some background to understand it he does what is called the set up which is a breif history and then it leads into the story.

Anyway I love it and if you get a chance to see it do...you will become addicted for sure.
