Hey, early risers! The folks at CBC Radio syndication have asked me to weigh in on David Letterman’s final day as host of The Late Show. I’ll be yakking between the hours of 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. ET with stations from Corner Brook to Kamloops. Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa are all in the

Tuesday night he had longtime friend Michael Keaton on and the two reminisced about their times back on Mary Tyler Moore’s 1978 variety show Mary. The short-lived series had a remarkable bench, with Swoosie Kurtz, Dick Shawn, Merrill Markoe, Keaton and
This week, AM900 CHML’s Scott Thompson asks about my trip earlier this week to Nashville. I tell him about those Masters of Flip, Kortney and Dave Wilson–two Canadians who relocated to Music City in pursuit of country careers but who have become more savvy at buying, renovating and selling homes. Their series premiers May 12
This week, AM900 CHML’s Scott Thompson starts things off by asking about Jeremy Clarkson, until recently the main host of the BBC hit motoring series Top Gear. Clarkson recently ran afoul of his broadcaster after one temper tantrum too many and was informed March 25 that his contract will not be renewed. This after not enough
