The Hour is a Canadian TV talk show with host George Stroumboulopoulos. The Hour has had some fabulous guests in the past and I’m more then sure many more to come.
It’s one of those great Canadian shows that allows their guests to be perfectly relaxed to in a public forum. George provides us a candid glimpse into his guests personal and private lives. He it seems to make his new friends feel like they’re all just sitting around the kitchen table, having a coffee and shooting the breeze. in my eyes, George is one of Canada’s greatest interviewers today!
George was first brought to the public’s attention way back when he was a young video VJ from the old Much Music scene. This is a music station in Canada that shares a similar format to music channel MTV in the US.
The musician’s that have been on the show are perfectly suited to his hosting skill set.
Some of the more resent ones that I really liked was the Canadian singer called K-os. George invites him to just relax and chill on his show.
Some non musicians that have been on the show is impressive as well. Rubin ‘Hurricane’ Carter’s piece was very insightful and moving to my wife and I. You know I did not realize that bob Dylan’s song Hurricane was about this great man, huh!
Has anyone seen The Hour on CBC? If so, what do you think! should he continue in this format Or should he be back at Much Music?
George, Keep on Jammin’
I think its a good hybrid of news and celebrity with a dynamic production and i really love its opening song ” The good in everyone”……………..i don’t think it needs any changes
I think so to CompareBookings. It’s one of those shows that make me want to just sit back and actually listen to what the host has to say and I feel that I can relate to whatever he/she says.
