Mall Santa by Ed The Sock with Blamethrower!
We didn't have time to record an episode this week, so at Nate's suggestion here is Drew's classic interview with Canadian media "legend" and twitter imbecile Ed the Sock.

Episode 156 of the Great Canadian Sports Show, host Joe Tilley interviews Ed the Sock, an iconic sock puppet character created by Steven Joel Kerzner in 1987. Ed gained fame through hosting appearances on MuchMusic and his own late-night talk show, Ed's Night Party. Over the years, Ed has faced controversies and network changes, but he remains a unique and enduring figure in Canadian pop culture. The interview is expected to delve into Ed's history, his impact on Canadian television, and his latest ventures, including hosting an overnight radio program and his involvement in the online platform NewMusicNation. #EdtheSock #ed #puppet #canadian #icon #muchmusic #latenight #joetilley #greatcanadiansportsshow #justintrudeau #excellent #adventure #interview #class #sockpuppet #night #party #banned #shocking #realtalk #throwback #exclusive #history #popculture #triumph #canadiancontent #legend

At a time when most radio stations are maximizing their voice tracking, airing syndicated programming, or introducing listeners to AI-generated content in off-peak listening hours, Durham's Radio's 94.9 The Rock (CKGE-FM) - licensed to Oshawa, ON - has gone in the opposite direction, launching a live overnight show hosted by cable TV and MuchMusic icon Ed the Sock. On this episode of the podcast, we welcome Steven Kerzner, the voice behind Ed the Sock, and Program Director Doug Elliott to the podcast to talk about taking radio back to its roots in the age of streaming.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
We talk with Ed the Sock host of the All Night Show on 94.9 The Rock. The only live overnight radio show in the world. We talk about media in the 80s. Being on Much Music. And Ed's Late Night Shows. Old VJs on Much. Smash or Trash. And fuck Triumph the Insult the dog. We also talk about Derringer and Valentyne at Q. But how we love having him on board now over for overnights at 94.9 The Rock! Midnight to 6am. Listen online. We also dive into 80s radio like AM 640 and AM 680. When they had Tarzan Dan. And recording cassettes in your bedroom closet. It's gets brutal with Ed's comments. Oh. Plus Ed's porn story from LA. Very funny. And a tribute to Sue Johansson. And her dolls. And sticky socks when we were young.

Ed the Sock Creator Steven Kerzner remembers North York's Newton Cable, shares Ed's origin story [involves the Crafts Closet] and namesake [think Lou Grant/Carl from UP], talks about Ed's Night Party transitioning from community cable to CityTV to a national MuchMusic audience, why he thinks Moses Znaimer is responsible for the greatest phase of creativity in Canadian TV history [people love to watch people], and presents the REAL STORY behind the conspicuously similar Robert Smigel/Conan O'Brien sock puppet Triumph the Insult Comic Dog [Triumph the Ripoff Dog?]. VERY SPECIAL APPEARANCE by Ed the Sock himself recalling his best interviews [Avril Lavigne before she broke big, Lenny Kravitz & Denzel Washington as they literally broke glassware] and worst interviews [Vanilla Ice, Snow, Mariah Carey] as well as the Woodstock '99 live experience that ended in a full-scale RIOT [no thanks to Fred Durst].

Blame it on Conan O'Brien and Saturday Night Live. Since the age of 16, Bryan Tobin has been in love with Broadcast media. He has had to overcome obstacles along the way including a lesser known disability called Sturge Webber Syndrome which caused him to have a stroke at age 11. He even readily admits that he has moments when his arm goes numb for 20 minutes at a time. Born in Newfoundland, he is the other Bryan Tobin… the first being the former Premier of Newfoundland. Undaunted, Bryan graduated from Carleton University wit a B.A. in Communications and later from Loyalist with a Post Grad Diploma in Sports Journalism and also from Algonquin College with a radio diploma. Ironically, we think Bryan is overqualified for broadcast and is better suited for podcasting. Bryan's podcast is called Tobin Tonight and he has had some very famous people on his show including Ed The Sock, Bianca Andreescu and the late Bob Saget.

The only thing that can truly out last the rock and roll dream is the power of friendship...On this episode we are diving into a little bit of Can-Con rock and roll history with the new documentary; 'Doug and the Slugs and Me'.Doug and the Slugs and Me follows filmmaker Teresa Alfeld as she uncovers the story of Doug Bennett, leader of the legendary 1980s Canadian party band Doug and the Slugs — and the dad of her childhood best friend. The documentary features a who's who of international and Canadian musicians and industry insiders — including Bob Geldof, Bif Naked, Steven Page, Ron Sexsmith, Michael Williams, Denise Donlon and Terry David Mulligan — who provide insight into what made the Slugs' music, videos and stage shows so special and why the cards were ultimately stacked against them.Doug and the Slugs were undoubtedly one of a kind and we had the unique pleasure of sitting down with director Teresa Alfeld before the special one off screening TONIGHT at the Bloor Hot Docs Cinema in advance of it's premiere on the CBC doc channel and all other CBC platforms this coming Sunday about what kicked off her wanting to tell this story, the difficulties of it getting a little more personal then expected and the one of a kind joy that was this iconic Canadian band.You can visit the Hot Docs website right here if you'd like to hit the show.

Join Oliver as he chills with legendary Canadian entertainer Ed the Sock! Well known for his time hosting at MuchMusic, where his 'Fromage' specials became notorious for hilariously skewering popular music videos. Not to mention his former show 'Ed's Night Party', which holds the record for the longest-running Canadian late night talk show in history! Ed is currently on a quest to launch 'NewMusicNation', a multi-platform online channel that embodies the spirit of classic MuchMusic! Featuring relatable VJs from across the country and a heavy focus on independent Canadian artists, the channel's Indigogo campaign is well on it's way to reaching it's funding goal! Oliver learns all about Ed's plans for NewMusicNation, and inquires about the possibility of former MuchMusic VJs making guest appearances. Ed then shares memories of some of his favourite interviewees, which leads to a great chat about superhero films.

We need to talk about the sock. Stephen Magusiak (@magusiak) of PressProgress joins us to explain a guy named Steven Kerzner (@EdtheSock) to our American buddy, Stephen from the Haus of Decline podcast in light of Kerzner's recent racist remarks against NDP leader Jagmeet Singh. Was Kerzner ever actually funny, or are we just nostalgic for a simpler time? We listen to some classic Fromage clips to find out. (Hint: They have not aged well.) We also discuss Kerzner's recent foray into hyperpartisan Liberal politics and efforts to revive the '90s, when he was in a not-so-famous Canadian TV show. In short, we put the sock in the drawer for good. LinksLiberal MPs Denounce "Ed the Sock" After Calls to Disavow "Racist Dog Whistles" Targeting Jagmeet SinghJust Drew's Show - Canada's Host (ft.

Steven Kerzner may be the most famous TV performer you've never heard of. His hand has insulted some of the biggest pop stars in the world. Crouched just out of frame, he had a worm's eye view of the heyday of CityTV and Muchmusic, and he tells Jesse all.
