You can say that again. By looking at some old clips of "22 Minutes", I could tell that he should have had his own show sooner. With his rants and stuff like that, you could tell that he was just waiting to break out. I'm glad he finally got his own show when he did.
p.s.there are 32,000 people in Canada and 350,000,000, in the US. Canadians don't know how good they've got it. I pioneered desegrigation in Wilmington, N.C. for five years. what would Canadians think if they had to deal with Crack Dealers on 1/16 of every city block.
Rick Mercer is himself a homosexual, he's even in a same sex marriage. He doesn't hide it but he doesn't make a big deal of it which is the smartest move ever for someone who wants to be a serious actor/comedian and not treated any differently.
Umm...You know Rick Mercer was out long before Jon Stewart (Who was out before Colbert, cause Colbert worked on Jon's show...but you already knew that). Rick Mercer has been on TV for as long as I can remember. He originally was a writer on 22 Minutes, which also has been out for years. (And then there's Royal Canadian Air Farce) Of course, you probably wouldn't find Canadian Political Satire that funny, being either American (which would make sense) or just not understanding the jokes. Its ok
i am canamerican, and i get tiered of all the ignorant predjuces, not all canadians are as*holes and not all americans are either instead of wining all the time what are we going to do to better our own communities. ytc; southernonarionenvi get involved, saving southern ontarios great lakes
Yeah he is gay. He has been with his partner Gerald Luntz(Not sure of the name, he is a producer on the show)since he was 20. Not that it matters. I agree he is a great embassador for Canada. Love him.
someone i know was on their honeymoon and they were bringing stuff up after checking in and they went into the wrong room and there was some women lying naked on the bed
@HANK0000 Hes really funny even when hes not on T.V. Here's a quick story about his visit to me... He called my mom (his sister) and asked if we could all hangout sometime, My mom said of course and the plan was to meet up at a coffee shop. As my mother and me were walking down the street this lady ran up to us and said " OMG I just saw Rick Mercer! Hes so cool" she had no idea that she was talking to Ricks sister. And you could see people with camera's taking pics of him from across the street

I remember that episode of the Rick Mercer Report...he almost got his hand biten off
Mercer started in '92 on 22minutes
Jon started daily show in '99
Mercer started the mercer report in '03~'04
Your the king Rick Mercer.....If i could meet any Canadian it would be you!!!!
Best. Punchline! EVER!!!
Rick Mercer is my favourite comedian and that was the fucking most hilarious story i heard in my life! He just made my day!:D
... wow I got through 2 seconds of video before an ad started playing....
Hahaha I remember watching this skit on the TV... XD
He's absolutely brilliant.
Rick Mercer for prime minister!
My favourite wall at the CBC!
Lol Looks like he ran into the wrong kind of bear...
this is probably the best 'best story ever.'
Gotta love ya Rick, Best Canadian Ever!
Still the best best story ever!
AWESOME!!!!
AW MAN! The Conrad Black bit would have deffinetly made it the best story ever.
hahahaha, one of the greatest newfies of all time!
This IS the Best Story Ever!!!
"13 years ago" Good lord! XD
i live a couple hours away from churchill gets way colder than -20 lol -20 is pretty warm tbh

Yeah, we have running water too now.
The irony now that he's come out lol He was probably the guy who ran into the bathroom
I heard Joe at the coffee shop talking about this new fangled thing called a telephone. Do you think we'll get that next?
churchill...... beautiful LOL
Oh my God that's funny!
Damn that was good!
p.s.there are 32,000 people in Canada
and 350,000,000, in the US. Canadians
don't know how good they've got it.
I pioneered desegrigation in Wilmington, N.C.
for five years. what would Canadians think if they
had to deal with Crack Dealers on 1/16 of every city block.
If that's your best story I'd hate to hear the worst!
LOVE The Hour.
"And that's how Equestria was made!"
I can't click on the thumbs-down icon anymore... T_T
yes he was alone lol priceless
LOL XD I love that, poor Rick!!
Is he gay?
I think he is one of Canada's most intelligent & insightful citizens. He makes me very proud to be Canadian.
Lol, way too funny!!
This guy is hilarious
hahahaha...........hahahaha......classic.
Where did you see that? I would be really interested to see that!
u weren't in a blackout were ya rick and wandered thru the connector door for the cleaners?....eh?
@Kennuckle1 Haha, he sounds like an awesome guy. You're lucky that you know him, I find his show quite amazing.
Yeahh! Winnipeg!
His head is probably not wasted empty space.
@Kennuckle1 Really? That's amazing! What's he like in real life? If you see him often, tell him that he's awesome.

Who cares about him being gay! He's still cracks me up every time I watch him. He's about 1 000 000 times funnier than colbert in my opinion.
than* a carrot.
I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. ;)
i have a good conrad black story - but I cant post it here - hes in a very good place right now
then went to jail for fraud (i think?), which just made the total and complete humiliation that much sweeter
canadian guy who owned a company and stole a bunch of money from the employees pensions, i think to my memory thats what he did.
hahaha..omg...that is to funny
YEAH WINNIPEG
@woodyfive0 Well that's no fair. You'd see us coming for months ahead of time and be able to hide in the grass.

i am canamerican, and i get tiered
of all the ignorant predjuces,
not all canadians are as*holes

what are we going to do to better our own
communities. ytc; southernonarionenvi

@Flameup67 that's exactly what i was thinking =D
@Christinamoorshead1 lol that would make my night
vin diesel was the mystery man
No, but I'm sure they must know each other because they're both from Canada.
Kewlios
laugh my effing ass off!
is he related to Alex Mercer?
I laugh at the fact you had to post that comment twice.
22M just sucks now without him. Well, doesn't suck, but not even nearly as good
Nenshi is gay. Google it, cripes where have you been. Best mayor ever.
Winnipeg is the best. If it was old sounds like Fort Garry :O HAUNTED
HAHA,,....NO WAY!
@agenda88s8 Hardly. I'm Canadian, and I still think Mercer is about as entertaining as watching a Cheerio sink.
Who, Conrad Black?
true.
I know who Conrad Black is, I was making a joke.
And yes I am Canadian as well..
Seriously? google his name i'm sure there are no end to the news stories.
ahhh hahaha
Not Saskatchewan. It's Manitoba
why does him being gay a issue here really? ~ Rick rocks!!
he isnt gay rick rocks
Nenshi's gay? I knew Kathleen Wynne was gay, but Nenshi? The more you know, I suppose...
Naheed Nenshi is not gay. While I agree, Calgary is not as bad as it's often seen, Nenshi is not gay.
his head is bigger than his body or maybe its because of his thin neck
LOL
And William Shatner
kenneth hotz
A gay muslim mayor? that must have been hard to tell mom and dad.
Watch the one on Dee Snider xD
@Ghawdxi well, that is sad. Don't care though. Cuz' I love him, and that's what matters.
a big crook.
he's an NDP
