George and his team continue the evolution of late night Canadian television. After winning eleven Geminis and building on the success of The Hour, George returns with George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight. It connects Canadians to the world’s newsmakers, entertainers, and artists with his signature personal and intimate interviewing style. George continues to do what Canadians love him for; offering his authentic take on the zeitgeist, and covering the issues you want to hear about.

It’s a fusion of in-depth conversations with compelling individuals, and George’s fearlessly original stance on news and entertainment. The show provides direct access to the most influential and fascinating people who shape our world. Guests who’ve already done some time in the red chair include Seth Rogen, Margaret Atwood, Snoop Dogg, Paul Martin, Tom Cruise, Angela Davis, and Shania Twain. And as he always does, George asks the questions you want answered. Skip the pleasantries.

And it’s not just TV. The impact of George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight is wide-ranging. The show has translated into one of Canada’s most popular crossover websites and YouTube channels. It’s like a hub for the thriving online community with an engaging blog, complete archived episodes, exclusive video content, and award-winning podcasts on iTunes.

Currently in its eighth season, George’s upgraded and reengineered nightly talk show is broadcast across Canada, Monday through Friday at 11:05 p.m. on CBC Television, and taped daily in front of a live studio audience.

The Strombo Show is three hours of music for music lovers, made by music lovers. We call it the spirit of radio. It's a chance for us to play music spanning many genres. I get requests for music and emails about music every day from listeners. The Strombo Show serves as a home for these requests. Call it a meeting of musical minds.

Every Sunday we feature Ten with Tom, a Tom Waits song, along with regular visitors like CBC Radio 2's Bob Mackowycz and Rich Terfry. We also like to hand over the radio to some of our favourite artists and let them command the airwaves with music that moves them with The Takeover.

Love songs, sad songs, road songs, songs with feeling. This is the Strombo Show.

Catch it live and commercial free Sunday nights from 8pm to 11pm on the nation's music station, CBC Radio 2, or stream it on Strombo.com.

If there was ever a guy who was born to talk, it's George Stroumboulopoulos. With more than eighteen years in the business, George is one of the most admired and beloved broadcasters in Canada. Starting out on what was then CBC Newsworld, over six seasons he quickly grew 'The Hour' from a fledging current events program to a critical and popular success from coast to coast on the main CBC Network. As the program grew, so did George's reputation as one of the most insightful and dynamic broadcasters in North America. Now he's entering his eighth season with the latest stage of that success: George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight.

George is also a highly respected longtime radio personality. Canadians have tuned into 'The Strombo Show' for four years now; a commercial-free music program on CBC Radio 2.

His hard work and dedication have not gone unrewarded. George and 'The Hour' have won ten Gemini awards, including five awards for best host in a talk program or series, and three for best talk series in Canada. He's also been the recipient of a Gracie Award from the American Women of Radio and Television. Not bad for a punk from Malton, Ontario.

It all started back at a small radio station in Kelowna, British Columbia, George's first job out of college. But with his heart back in Toronto, it wasn't long before he came home and took a gig at The Fan 590, Toronto's all sports radio station. Then he jumped to The Edge 102.1, a modern rock station with a legendary history, where he hosted the coveted "Live In Toronto" slot. Eventually, he moved to MuchMusic as a producer and host of 'The NewMusic', 'The Punk Show', 'LOUD', and 'MuchNews'.

In 2004, George took part in the hugely popular CBC special feature series, 'The Greatest Canadian'. George was one of ten advocates making the case that their nominee was, in fact, the greatest. His personal and passionate argument for Tommy Douglas, Canada's 'Father of Medicare,' struck a chord with Canadians, and brought in a winning 1.2 million votes. The brass at CBC noticed.

Shortly after, George and his team created 'The Hour', where he went on to interview some of the biggest names in politics, entertainment, sports, and more. It's a pretty impressive list - check it out at the Guests directory.

Half a decade later, George and the crew decided to update the show's format for 2010, changing its name to George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight. The program is now a tight, highly-focused hour, with more efforts dedicated to multi-media platforms. This way, viewers around the world get the same experiences as those in the audience.

The radio show is still going strong too. 'The Strombo Show' airs Sunday nights from 8 p.m. to midnight on CBC Radio 2.

You'd think this kind of intensely busy life would render George a virtual slave to the office, but amazingly, nope. During all this, he's somehow managed to travel to the Arctic for a well-received special on literacy, youth culture, and the loss of Inuit identity. He's been to Sudan with Raine Maida of Our Lady Peace and Dr. Eric Hoskins of War Child Canada, and to Zambia for a World AIDS Day special documentary.

He’s also worked with the Nelson Mandela’s Children's Fund (Canada), the Canada Africa Partnership on AIDS, Make Poverty History and currently sits on the Board of Directors for The David Suzuki Foundation. In March 2011, following a trip to Pakistan for a Special episode of the show, George was named the first Canadian World Food Programme Ambassador Against Hunger.

In his free time, (yes he does have some) George can be found on the open road, riding one of his motorcycles, on-ice playing hockey, or pulling for his beloved Habs.
