George provides us a candid glimpse into his guests personal and private lives. He it seems to make his new friends feel like they&#8217;re all just sitting around the kitchen table, having a coffee and shooting the breeze. in my eyes, George is one of Canada&#8217;s greatest interviewers today!<\/p>\n<p>George was first brought to the public&#8217;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. <\/p><!--CusAds-->\n<p>The musician&#8217;s that have been on the show are perfectly suited to his hosting skill set.<br \/>\nSome 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. <\/p>\n<p>Some non musicians that have been on the show is impressive as well. Rubin &#8216;Hurricane&#8217; Carter&#8217;s piece was very insightful and moving to my wife and I. You know I did not realize that bob Dylan&#8217;s song Hurricane was about this great man, huh! <\/p>\n<p>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?<\/p>\n<!--CusAds--><p>George, Keep on Jammin&#8217;<\/p>\n<div class=\"c354d1e329b235f1862b41000f5a4d18\" data-index=\"9\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<br\/>\r\n<div align=\"center\">\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\r\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-3375789278566919\";\r\n\/* Guitar_inpost_300x250 *\/\r\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"3631424768\";\r\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\r\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\r\n\/\/-->\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\r\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\r\n<\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br\/>\r\n<?php if ( is_search() || is_single() || is_page() || is_paged() || is_category() || is_archive() ) { ?>\r\n<div align=\"center\">\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\r\nch_client = \"dragonden\";\r\nch_type = \"mpu\";\r\nch_width = 468;\r\nch_height = 120;\r\nch_color_bg = \"FFFFFF\";\r\nch_color_title = \"7dc246\";\r\nch_color_text = \"333333\";\r\nch_non_contextual = 4;\r\nch_vertical =\"premium\";\r\nch_sid = \"guitarlicks_betweenposts2\";\r\nvar ch_queries = new Array( );\r\nvar ch_selected=Math.floor((Math.random()*ch_queries.length));\r\nif ( ch_selected < ch_queries.length ) {\r\nch_query = ch_queries[ch_selected];\r\n}\r\n\/\/--><\/script>\r\n<script  src=\"http:\/\/scripts.chitika.net\/eminimalls\/amm.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n<\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<?php } ?>\r\n<br\/>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Hour is a Canadian TV talk show with host George Stroumboulopoulos.
