A 'bonus' show this week!

Greeting and salutations readers! This is my first post since the start of the new season. How are you enjoying the new George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight? I quite like the look of the show and have found the interviews to be very well done. My favourites thus far have been the 'pairs'...Martin Sheen & Emilio Estevez, as well as Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed. I'm looking forward to see how the rest of the season unfolds.

This is a special week for George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight viewers, as we will be getting an EXTRA show tonight (Sunday), immediately following Battle of the Blades!

Sunday, October 3rd

Star of the soon to be released film Stone, actor Edward Norton.

American born Jeremy Roenick has had quite an impressive career in a sport typically dominated by Canadians! As an eighteen year NHL veteran, Boston native Roenick played for several teams including the Chicago Blackhawks and the San Jose Sharks. He is only one of three US born players to have scored over 500 goals in the NHL. Since retiring, and in addition to his charity work, Roenick has taken a stab at broadcasting and now has a new gig as a judge on the the hugely popular CBC's Battle of the Blades.

Monday, October 4th

George Stroumboulopoulos will be landing at Radio 2 with a new show launching November 8th called The Strombo Show.

The Strombo Show will feature four hours of music from all generations and will focus on what George does best - talking about music, interviewing musicians, and bringing listeners a scope of music from the known and popular to the new and unexplored.

in these pictures George, Alex and Bob M.jr. in the former studio of The Strombo Show. George will debut the look of the new studio on Nov 8th.

George will be recording the show in his new home studio with Bob Mackowycz Jr. (writer, Strombo Show co-host and the man everyone loves), and Mike Sullivan (Strombo Show, ExploreMusic) who will be contributing their talents each week along with the show's producer Darby Wheeler (The Hour, Much Music) . Maybe Alex Liu (The Hour, Strombo Show) will drop by but, he is a busy new Dad now so... we'll see.

Musical guests will occasionally perform in G's living room and video of the radio show will be available for your viewing pleasure.
