From Wikipedia:
Doesn't that sound exciting.Also there is a segment where regular correspondent, Daryn Jones goes out and checks out cool things (however, this segment has been cut out in season 3). There is also a Celebrity Tip, where a Canadian celebrity gives advice to Canadians, such as Shirley Douglas demonstating how to boost a car's battery.
Some memorable moments from the series include Pierre Berton demonstrating how to roll a joint, a visit to 24 Sussex Drive and carving pumpkins with Paul Martin, and a modernised video showing clips of marijuana grow-ops to the tune of Ontario's Expo 67 theme song A Place to Stand, A Place to Grow.
Besides Berton, Douglas, and Martin , guests that have appeared on the series include Jann Arden, Ronnie Hawkins, Ed Broadbent, Sheila Copps, Geddy Lee, Mary Walsh, Scott Thompson, Belinda Stronach, Don Cherry, Ron James, Stockwell 'Doris' Day and others.
Rich Mercer is the kind of of garbage that Canada wouldn't have if it wasn't for CRTC cancon requirements and Canadians with identity issues that feel they have to watch inferior Canadian crap when there are better international alternatives."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I like the Mercer Report.
And no one cares. Why would you bring up The Mercer Report (whatever the **** that is) in this thread? The topic of the thread is pretty simple: Daily Show or Colbert Report, which one is better? There's only two options, ok? Is that too complicated for you to understand?
And the above reminds me that The Daily Show has suffered greatly from the decline and eventual disappearance of Lewis Black...KH FOR OWNER!
ASHER FOR CEO!!
GUYNEMER FOR OT MOD!!!Comment

Which reminds me, last night I saw an ad for the Mercer Report and at the end he said "This show is very Canadian" -- very subtle.Originally posted by Drake Tungsten

You can tell who their target market is, people like tecumseh.

You mean Canadians? What a surprise! What will the CBC think of next?Comment

No, the target is people who define being Canadian as not American. The kind of people who feel dirty watching an American show with a grossly inferior Canadian equivalent.
I've found the people I know who actually like Rick Mercer are generally pepole with some unexplictable hatred towards Americans."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

The trailers shown for it during HNIC are simply unfunny to the point of being groan-worthy.
Here is CBC's hilarious description of this week's Mercer Report:
On this week's episode of the Rick Mercer Report, Rick heads to the west coast to get a tour of Vancouver City with Mayor Sam Sullivan. Then it's on to search and rescue training with the 442 Squadron at 19 Wing in Comox, British Columbia."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

They also have videos from the show.
Here's his hilarious introduction from the Vancouver tour:
"Vancouver, British Columbia. Since I got here it was warm, then it was chilly, then it rained, and now the sun is out -- and I've only been here for 20 minutes"
(to the mayor -- who is a quadapelegic in a wheelchair) - "I thought you would be the one guy in Vancouver who wouldn't hike. No such luck!"
/me dies from laughter.
Ironically, the mayor was way funnier than Mercer in the segment.

I never watch these shows, but I was watching one (not sure which) where there was this guy who was talking about having his stretch hummer and interviewed Fred Barnes and gave him **** for having a book. I actually thought it was pretty fun. He was hitting the conservative humor but doing it to the point of some self-parody.Comment

I think Fred Barnes was on the Daily Show.
