I guess they found him in time to do a Movie Promo for We Are Marshall.
Taking full advantage of living in Toronto, I make a plan to see The Hour once a month.
I love to go to the show with fans of The Hour I have only met online.
Don't try this at home kids.
This time round, I went to the show with "E" and her brother "K".
George was happy to see everyone, and as always, is a most congenial host.
E and G
On a dare, and also because it suited the occasion, we were supposed to wear boxers under our low cut jeans... Well it was just me, as it happens. Out on that limb again...
It was worth it!
We had planned other addition mischief but the
proper timing was not available. Believe me, I asked Kevin the stage manager... He is so sweet!
We are scheduled to create that mischief next time we go to The Hour.
CBC approved of course....
My oh so Canadian boxer shorts!
George did have something to say about the boxers.
He said he used to wear them like that on Much Music all the time and no one wrote about it.
My thought 'It's a bit more distracting when you
talking about serious subjects like .... ummm I can't recall now.
See, I was so distracted I can't remember what
you were talking about at the time.
Me and G
So other than getting on Georges back about the boxers...
I asked George about what The Hour will be presenting between Dec 14 and Jan 2nd seeing as there will be no live audience bookings. His answer is they will be making The Hour sans audience with all the footage and stories and news in the holiday period.
On the closer today, George made some excellent points about the same sex marriage debate.
You have to watch it. If you don't see it on CBC Newsworld or CBC you can always catch it on The Hour's Site.
Now that is a great closer.

I have to make a correction to an earlier report that Jian will be on The Hour tonight.... Latest report says He will be on the show Monday instead.
Sorry for the confusion.
Footnote....

I'm glad to hear the Hour is be on during Christmas. I will finally be able to watch it again. Yay!
Glad you had fun at the taping again.
That sounds like a lot of fun!
BarbaraW, do you know if they are only going to tape the show in Toronto for the season 3? it would be nive if they could come again to Montreal, or if they could go to Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver....
what did you guys think of the TL article on George?
Tammy
OK Tammy I will do a little write up about that extra long article in Toronto Life... if my computer connection behaves...
I asked that question about The Hours plans for the holidays with you in mind Barbara B.
Evelyne I think you have to move to Toronto to see The Hour live... The good news is they pay bilingual people very very well. We are planning a big gathering of G fans to go see The Hour together in early Jan. sometime... The Hour starts taping again Jan 2... When do you guys go back to school?
I did ask them again about sending the Panel Van out... They don't see it as a financially viable idea to send it across the country. Maybe one or two cities...
Barb, school starts something like jan. 3 for me, so can't really go on jan 2!
Evelyne let me know when you can come down I know George would love to see you again.
Those are great photos!
Thanks Allan!
