Info

George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight is a Canadian television talk show broadcast on CBC Television and hosted by George Stroumboulopoulos. Originally known as The Hour from 2005 to 2010, it first broadcast on 17 January 2005. The programme is currently initially broadcast on CBC Television at 7:00 p.m. local time. As The Hour, the show was so named, as it was a daily one hour program. For the show's seventh season, the show was renamed and shortened into a daily half-hour show, George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight, beginning September 20, 2010. In September 2011, the program was again extended to one hour with its current name. It returned to a half-hour for the 2012-13 season and moved to 7:00 p.m., along with a late-night encore that moved to 11:30 p.m. due to the expansion of late local news at several of the CBC's major market stations. The show's opening theme song is "The Good in Everyone" by Canadian rock band Sloan. It replaced the formerly used track, "Use It" from The New Pornographers at the start of the 2008 broadcast season.

George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight Audience Reviews

Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?
SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
gabrielkoot This show was so boring. I don't dislike George S. but the shows just seemed so pointless, uninteresting and useless. The jokes were always so lame. Sometimes there would be a decent guest but even then it was just so bland and tedious to watch.
John Smith This show sucks.The writing is so terrible I wonder sometimes if maybe it is actually non-existent and maybe George Stromboflofoapoplfous (I won't even waste one second of my life trying to figure out how to spell that name!) just makes stuff up as he goes and he just gets away with it because, well, I don't know why.The jokes are unfunny and terrible and predictable and always fall flat.The only good part of this show is some of the interviews are interesting depending on who the guest is and as bad as the material and writing are (I hate how every story is covered in like three seconds and we learn nothing beyond the day's basic headlines) George is a decent host and seems like a decent guy.I hate his show though, it sucks sucks sucks.
angelgirl720 I honestly enjoy watching this show. I've come to the point where watching late night talk shows are fun and all, but they seem so boring and overplayed. George does a great job of bringing in cool guests who you don't always get to see everywhere and asking them real questions. There are people who aren't impressed because he doesn't tend to ask overly insightful questions, but who is to decide what makes a question insightful? I think that when the same questions get asked to a guest on every show they appear on, that isn't insightful at all. George goes beyond that and brings it all back to the center and just talks with the guests, which shows you a lot more of who they are in my opinion.
phbalanced It's been a very long time since there's been a Canadian late night talk show. Mike Bullard was probably the last one on the air and that was over five years ago. Strombo has picked up where Bullard left off and has an interesting line up of guests including many US actors filming up here in the great Hollywood North. But more importantly, he's provided a forum for conversation with many Canadian celebrities, including the final interview with writer/activist June Callwood. And it's a real hoot when the Trailer Park Boys are in the studio! George is a fast talking host and his show moves along very quickly, but he's got a good sense of humour. Comparable to the late Brian Linehan of City TV, he knows his subjects well and his questions are thought provoking and he can put the guests on the spot, but it's all in good fun. The Hour with George Stroumboulpoulos is one of the reasons we tune into our public broadcaster, the CBC. Should be a Gemini winner.
