The interview with George Stroumboulopoulos...

View above or click here.

People had complained about the low sound so the post was pulled down and the audio levels raised. It was learned that the interviewed had been copied, edited and reposted by someone else without authorization and thought it best to remove the controversial segment in the Stroumboulopouli version so as not to distract from the rest of the things discussed. Now let's back to focusing on the show.


After you watch the video we thought you may like a few links to some of the things George talks about.

The guilty pleasure songs and singers on George's ipod are listed as follows.

Nile and company at The Rivoli

Last night I went to The Rivoli for an awesome evening of comedy. It was all new material night and there were a couple of familiar faces, some people I kind of vaguely thought I recognized and some I'd never heard of. Ron James stopped in for a few minutes which was cool. I was partial to (and I hope this is the right guy) Nathan MacIntosh - he was funny but he also had on a wicked pair of orange and black Nikes. Later on they had six or seven new comics who achieved various levels of success. A couple of them were really good and I'm sure they'll be around for a while.

The real reason we were there though was to see Nile.

Judging by the reaction of the audience I'm just guessing but I think a good portion of them were there for the same reason. He was great! If you go to his myspace page you can see a list of where he's going to be performing. I would highly recommend taking the chance to see him if you can. He's good on The Hour but he's even better live. And I still think they need to give him his own day of the week to do The List.

What's going on this week on The Hour.
