Official network description
Rick Mercer with his special brand of political satire reporting on this week's top stories and names in the news. He files reports from across Canada where he meets politicians, celebrities, and people on the streets. Rick visits the nation's campuses, engages in challenging feats, hangs with the Canadian Forces and checks out odd bits of Canadiana. He'll rant about whatever grabs his attention. The show features unusual special guests. Where and When It Will Air In Canada the show's fifth season will air on CBC in the fall at 8pm on Tuesdays. The show has not been picked up in other countries as far as I know. What I Have To Say About It In Canada political satire shows have been around for decades (fake news shows and political sketch shows have been popular here since the radio days, long before The Daily Show With Jon Stewart started up). Rick Mercer has been around for decades and it would probably be difficult to find a Canadian who didn't know who he was. He was great on shows he was formerly on such as This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Made In Canada and Talking To Americans and his current show called The Rick Mercer Report is no exception. It's hilarius and he's always getting interesting guest stars and doing interesting stuff. I am a regular watcher of the show. |
