The Hour will start taping again on April 26th. The studio is dark for a week and a half while The Hour continues to get preempted from it's regular air time for the NHL playoffs, but George Stromboulopoulos never rests. Note: I did a little research to see what film Rutger Hauer is working on in Halifax and Hobo With a Shotgun fits the bill. It's a film by first time director Jason Eisener. Hobo With A Shotgun started out as a fake trailer connection to the film Grindhouse. Not clear what role George may play in this production. April 24 Strombo should be back in Toronto for the weekend because his team the Chart Attack Hack is having a hockey playoffs game of their own on Saturday night. April 25 Making a fresh Strombo Show for Sunday night. Then back to work for George and the crew of The Hour on Monday April 26th. New Shows however, are not scheduled to air until the following Monday. I will post the scheduled best of shows for this coming week this Sunday.
Here are a few highlights of his time off...
April 14th he was throwing out the first pitch at the Blue Jays game.
Here are his tweets:
Between watching the Blue Jays and watching The Habs and prepping for The Strombo Show George spent the weekend at Shannonville earning his racing stripes. Or whatever one earns when learning to race motorcycles.
Here are his tweets on that:In the riders meeting at Shannonville. Working on Race Procedures.
Checking out the front straight at Shannonville. Memorizing the fastest lines.
Besides the concerns about how the Habs are doing against Washington George is concerned about his carbon footprint this "Earth Week".Another Earth Week site. Check out your carbon footprint. I live like there's 3 planets. Time to change!
April 22 Earth Day
Actress Rachel McAdams is giving me tips to reduce my footprint. Check out her site: www.greenissexy.org. #EarthDay
NYC this morning. Halifax this afternoon. Filming scene for a film. Rutger Hauer just rode in on a bicycle. Badass and earth day. #ladyhawke
Are you sick of Hockey Playoffs yet OR are you really into it? If you want to think positively, if you've missed some of the interviews this season on The Hour, it gives you a bit of time to play catch up. If you're like me, perhaps you took this past Saturday to go and hang at your local jewel of an Indie record store to celebrate 'Record Store Day'. My local store did an unreal job and featured all genre's of live music, giveaways galore and best of all? Lines at the tills.
In other music happenings, perhaps you're readying yourself to watch the Juno's? I am not sure as I try to keep my listening/ viewing a Bieber free zone. Maybe there is something I can listen to... a radio show perhaps? Yes, a not so subtle segue to remind you to tune in to the Strombo Show on CBC Radio2 from 8-Midnight.
Monday April 19th
Isabella Rosselini 
She wore Blue Velvet. She's a classical beauty and the daughter of Hollywood Royalty. Actress, spokes model, mom.
Perry Farrell
Charismatic front man of Jane's Addiction and Porno for Pyros. Brilliant mastermind of Lollapalooza and all around snappy dresser - Perry Farrell takes over the Red Chair.
As a child born into a family of privilege (dad is director Ivan Reitman) he could have been yet another aimless Hollywood party kid. To describe Reitman as an up and coming director doesn't even come close to the truth. With his breakout hits Juno and the multiple Academy Award nominated film Up in the Air, Jason Reitman has arrived. He's no one hit wonder. The Son also rises. 
If he'd just enjoyed his amazing success in SCTV, he'd have had a great career, but that was just the start for Levy. His partnership with the twisted genius of Christopher Guest has created some truly iconic movies including Best in Show and Waiting for Guffman.
Okay, I'm perhaps the ONLY person that's yet to watch Glee, but I did catch the original airing of this interview and found Monteith refreshing and down to earth... I may be a Gleek yet.
She's still got decades to grow, but songstress Norah Jones has amassed both commercial success and tremendous critical acclaim. I can tell you from experience that in concert she shows a confidence and musical mastery that belies her young age. Her stage patter is controlled and polite. Well, until there is sound issue during the last song of her encore... mid song, a HUGE crackle/pop on the back up singer's mike. Not missing a beat, Norah sings the following for her lyrics in perfect pitch no less. 'What the F was that?' Good times.
Show me that smile again. Yes, R&B star Robin Thicke is back. Sketchy Bow tie and all. He and his beautiful wife, actress Paula Patton (who played the teacher in Precious) just welcomed their first child! 
Come on Baby...let's do the Twist!!! What more can you say. You can't mess with sustained success. 
Seriously. Do I need to actually write anything? Let's just look at the bod for a moment. Habs lover, tormentor of border guards and yes - a compelling actor, Viggo returns. I was there for his taping during TIFF and yes, it was worth being there early on a Saturday.
Hollywood icon, Gordon Gekko promises to return again with a revisiting of his Oscar winning character from Wall Street. I wish that this encore has the slight slam against Gwyneth Paltrow, but it's been edited out of previous airings. Well, a girl can hope!
Horror master Steven Kings has a knack for the creepy and macabre... his success is unparallelled in that genre. 
He's played Terry Fox in a Canadian made Biopic but is best known as Iceman from the X-Men films and is an actor on the rise. 
The lovely Anika Noni Rose is enjoying a busy career. Best known for Dreamgirls and the animated film "Princess and the Frog" you'll be hearing much more from her in the future.
