George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight this week
There are many talented people that contribute to George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight.  If you are a fan of The Panel you know the very funny Ali Hassan. If you have been to the show you know stand up comic Fraser Young warms up the audience and both men write for the show. I asked them to be guests on The Ward and Al Show, a podcast I work on in downtown Etobicoke. Here it is, Ali Hassan and Fraser Young on Ward and Al. Please note the podcast is explicit so please don't listen with your children or my parents in the room.
