So sad his show is ending! wish it could go on foreverevererererer! Will miss you tons Rick! you're definitely a Canadian icon.
So very sad. I will miss seeing the show & am thankful we will be able to pull episodes from the web. Rick kept me smiling & gave me my Canada fixes whenever I was far from home. All the best in your next adventures & I hope they somehow include us again someday!
I will miss your quirky humour, your ability to meet and relate to politicians of every stripe, your tendency to mock them without rancor, even getting them to participate !
You Sir, have been a part of the reason I love this beautiful, majestic, and more than slightly crazy country, and I thank you for that!
Rick has done this country a great service, he is what out politicians and leaders should be, a great person.
Rick, you will be missed. Please come back soon; we need your insight, humour and generosity of spirit.
An awesome Canadian who loves his country. Thank you for all you have done.
Rick Mercer Report was iconic. I've seen the majority of his episodes and was entertained by his quick wit and personality to immerse the audience to everything he did and said. I will miss Rick's show when the final episode airs. Thank you for the laughs, good sir!
I started knowing about Rick Mercer in high school in I believe 2015. My history teacher showed us a rant of his, and it was one of the best rants I have heard in my life, and I needed to know who he was. After watching episodes of Rick Mercer Report on CBC, he was just an amazing, funny, and kind-hearted person that every Canadian should admire. Honestly, he is one of the icons of Canadian television, and your life wouldn't be complete in Canada unless you watched some of Rick Mercer Report. I'm sad to now know that his show has ended, but I always go back and watch the clips that are still there, and still amazed to this day about how interesting and amazing his content is. You could watch it for years and never get bored of it :)
We are going to miss Rick Mercer and his humor!
"We don't crap on Thunderbay." Frig we'll miss that guy.
I have loved Rick Mercer and he has given me many laughs. Best of luck to you!! You are a class act!!
Too bad Rick is ending his run. This is such a good show and he has a marvelous sense of humor. Rick's belief in trying to right the wrongs is so uplifting. I never miss his show. Makes me wish I lived in Canada!
A brilliant, loving, hilarious and passionate great Canadian man. I have a glimmer of hope that you WILL be back, maybe with a different kind of show. Cheers to you Mr. Mercer !!
"Despair" is what I feel about US politics too.
Those rants were the best !
Good luck Rick in whatever you decide to do.
LOVE YOU RICK!!! WE WILL SURE MISS YOU!!! BREATH OF FRESH AIR!!!
Rick, I am truly sorry to see you go as I did see you as a bit of a political watchdog but understand the importance of 'going out' on a high! Best wishes to you in future endeavors Sir Mercer :D
Class act all the way. Hope he's not gone for very long.
I am truly going to miss Rick Mercer's insight and commentary. America had Jon Stewart, we have Rick Mercer. Rick Mercer was funnier and united all Canadians. He represents the best of CBC.
I've never heard Jon Stewart be funny. Half decent actor I suppose. Rick Mercer is on another level with his witty humor.
Rick Mercer's programmes have shown us more of Canada, and what Canadians are like and do, than any other programme, or books or magazines. Thanks to Rick Canada has been depicted well for 15 years. His short firms should be kept for history to show what Canada was like in the first two decades of the 21st Century. Very well done.
Rick, thank you!
One of the few objective political commentators on the CBC.
And I want to cry! The Rick Mercer Report makes me happy. It's my escape while dealing with my son's disease and decline. Now who do I watch after this season? ;(
his show is as close as i get to watching anything related to politics.
Gonna miss his show!!
We will miss you so very much , just when we need you to making us laugh the most ! God Bless you and your family Rick , hope we still see you around cable ,or Internet . Best of luck .
I was having a pretty good day until I heard this.
I would like to see the segment "Talking to Americans" just once more.
And I am an American. Long Live Rick.
Aw that's too bad to hear. He should still do his rants at least online, they are great.
Noooooooooo! Whyyyyyyyy!? 😢😢😢😢
we need a petition to keep his show! canada will end without rmr
Definitely Will,Miss Rick Mercer. Good Luck,On Your Next Endeavors 😊.👍 Whatever It,Is He Will Be Great At it 😆
♡ Love This,Canadian Icon. From Another,Canadian. I'm a Fan 4ever
💕Love Rick Mercer 💕Watch the RMR and his videos on RUclips many times over and still smile and laugh.
A lift to my day.
What better gift, could any performer give?
Rick Mercer will always be the wise, naturally funny boy next door.
All the best to you Rick Mercer, whatever life gives you, wherever life takes you.
Thanks for not crapping on Thunder Bay!
I’m a transplanted Canadian, living in Scotland since 2003, and Norway for almost 4 years before that. I also have ties to Newfoundland, my father's side of the family. RMR is great for getting my Canada updates! Between RMR, and Republic of Doyle, my partner wants to move to Newfoundland!
DANG! I just found RMR on here a few weeks ago! So sad. But get leaving on his own terms. I used to be a TV cameraman in the field myself, so I understand the stress, schedule & work, etc. This "neighbor to the south" has learned a lot about Canada that I didn't know. I'm literally addicted to watching the clips so I guess I need to slow down and pace myself to stretch them out over time. I've probably been through almost 100 reports already. Good luck Rick...wherever you land.
Not to worry, Rick will eventually be back with a new show. Entertaining Canadians is part of his DNA.
Well you are better off then many, lol, you have shows to watch that won't be repeats for you!! LOL I'm sure you are glad you stumbled across him, he is awesome!! :)
from your mouth to God's ears. :)
Well, that's a shame. Here I was all set to vote for him too.
Best show on TV for a long time... (Rick) will be sadly missed (for now) but will be back & better.
Very saddened by this news. We'll certainly miss your show, Rick.
My rants! My rants! Your taking my Mercer Rants???? OH NO! The end is nigh.
American who really enjoys Rick! He is so brilliant, funny, and smart! Catching up on RMR on RUclips… love it!
Oh god, last show is just two nights away now. Suffering withdrawal pains and panic already.
The last good thing on the CBC...
This is the apocalypse.
just when we need him the most
Very sorry to see him go, but I think his final comment, "... at least for a while..." indicates he may be gracing the screen again soon. Hope so!
It will be a sad day when this show ends.
How are we gunna understand Canada
Nooooo, wish you all the best Rick. Thanks for all the laughs.
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love this show!!!
2 things; "celebrate" thats EXCELLENT and "...for now" THATS EXCELLENT. as a deeply concerned american, thanks Rick
Hi Rick,, loved your last show. You are too damn talented to quit. Enjoy your Retirement. We will miss you and your Newfie sense of humour.. Hugs Viv from Laval P..Q. Yes there are still a lot of Ànglophones in Québec. Enjoy your retirement. Xox Viv and Bob Fleury xoxoxoxoxx
NOOOOOO 😭😭😭😭😭 don’t leave us with 22 minutes they suck. WE CANT LOOSE YOU !!!!
Well I don't think you have seen the last of him :p I think he is going to run as a Liberal in the next election. The timing just about matches up with that. He has been a joy to watch either way. I might not have agreed with all of his points of view, but his positions where generally well founded. It is sad to see such a staple leave the scene. Its seldom you can find a political commentary that is so well respected on Conservative and Liberal sides.
Could it be that the rules of T.V. land are changing? With more people streaming, the C.R.T.C. have come up with a few changes that may have had on an effect on the Rickster's thought process, like maybe signing on with Netflix with the added caveat of more available Canadian content....(...only available in Canada, you say??......Pity!)
Best wishes for the future from Down Under.
Canada needs more Newfoundlanders?
Rick what about Bell Island Newfoundland(and Labrador) for the accordion festival for the last show....might as well go out big.
All good things have now come to an end 😔 its been so long
To bad his show is ending. I have always enjoyed his comical rants.
Love RMR
can he come to Victoria bc
Please just do the rant once a month....
Bummer.
7:32 fir the important part thats in the title
I think the 2 of them should go out on a date! They clicked for sure!
Rick Mercer should take over Anthony Bourdain's show
Canada would fall without him.
Mercer for Prime Minister!
Very sad event but he's had a great run from 22 minutes to this to who knows what else but you know its going to be great. He's ad a long run on tv. One good sub would have to be Mark Dice. The guys American and covers stories but he's entertaining to watch.
Mark Dice that far right, vitriol spewing, Trump disciple? You think that guy would make a good TV host in Canada?
Have you ever watched Rick Mercer? Mark Dice is the antithesis of Rick Mercer. He is quite exactly the extreme opposite of Rick Mercer. there is absolutely no discernible connectivity or correlation between the two people, their thoughts, their personalities.... nothing.
I don't understand your logic, that is, unless you are trying to use some sort of ironic or absurd joke that just crashed.
What are you thinking, but then the stunts you try may do you in . We will miss you.
Utube is calling.
I think it's time for a 2018 update special of TALKING TO AMERICANS...just to see how much worse things have gotten since the last time Rick asked unsuspecting Yankees ridiculous questions and got stunningly clueless answers. One last special...
I gave the video a thumbs up, but want to thumbs down Rick for deciding to retire. I hope he misses it and comes back in a year or so.
a really very sad day for canadians to hear about your departure...by the way what political stripe were you all this time Rick? certainly no PQ, right?!
I'm a Canadian living in Thailand and watch the show whenever I can access it - and always love your POSITIVE spin on humour. Thank You.
Here is a bit of trivia for you. WHY DOES TRUMP RUBBISH THE NFL ? Well - - he tried to buy a team and couldn't. Then he bought a team in the "Spring Time League" USFL - which then tried to move to the Fall in competition. That was BLOCKED. Since then he has had a GRUDGE with the NFL. So his whole anti-kneeling thing is just a way of sticking a pin in the NFL for not accepting him as team owner years ago. Does he carry a grudge ??? Duhh - yeah. ( watch the ESPN 30 for 30 show on this one)
Why doesn't he pass the mantle on, and get someone else to host the show?
I don't get to protest, silently or otherwise, when I am at work getting paid.
They have a right to protest, yes, but they are being paid to play football, not to protest.
kneeling to a country flag and anthem should be offencive to people of that country its just common sense
Don’t worry traitor you’re not case we still meet you and you’re always The camera walking Rick Merced with the education, we deserve as Canadians.(its comedy come on)
I said Merced cause that’s a total new dictionary word, can’t find it? Cause you’re looking , when it’s right here. We been Merced.
A great canadian tv personalitys show is ending after 15 seasons and they have to bring up Trump. Can i go 5 minutes with out hearing about US politics.
Noooooooooooooooo
Noooooooooooo!!!!
so his show is ending because "you have to get off stage for a little while"?
Now maybe Rick and spend retirement tracking down the back catalog to Made in Canada
sorry to be un-canadian however. when Mercer goes so should cbc.
How else am I gonna catch up on Canadian news? Y'all haven't gotten a daily newspaper yet, right?
(Related note - please do one more Talking To Americans. I know that was 22 Minutes, but fish in a barrel eh?)
old people are so funny
Yehhhhhh. Go work for minimum wage now bro
Nnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooo
Good move finally Rick... your self centredness and brand of humour is good for a person younger than yourself, you're just getting too old for it.. looking like a donk ... happy for you now
1:15 Answer: liberal politics
and I think when the USA elected IT to office he knew he just had to give up as do the rest of us Canadians...Just Keep that thing away from us!
Rick Mercer was fun to watch! I will miss his skits very much!
So now, we have even more reason why the CBC should be severely defunded and made into a simple News Agency. It makes no sense, in the age of the internet, to fund this very controversial outfit that has showed itself unable to maintain a reasonably neutral and fair presentation. Left wing opinions should have the full rights and freedoms to be expressed, but not subsidized but the state. Canadians are among the best educated and creative in the world, they should be able to compete to start their own media businesses without facing undo competition from the CBC.
CBC consistently puts out the best content of any news or radio station in Canada. You're off your rocker if you think that they should be defunded because Mercer is leaving.
Rick you are very wrong about the nfl
it's probably because of sexual allegations
rick is being removed because trudeau does not want the truth about him being mocked.
Rick Mercer is about as funny as root canal.
