Rick Mercer has never really gotten the balance of political humor nailed. He's always too much one or the other, depending on the topic. He's either political to the extent that it's no longer humorous, or humorous to the extent that he loses sight of the point.
I don't like posting the kind of negative comments that really kind of hammer someone... but Rick completely owns this interview. I've had to do interviews with people for some of my university courses (folklore, music), and this guy sounds exactly like me. Nervous, awkward, so that the interest he's showing sounds fake, even if it isn't. Absolutely awful interviewer. Rick owns this interview. The kid is embarrassing to watch.
On an unrelated note remember last years snow storm? Well in Toronto, a lot of people who normally drive were taking the subway to avoid the roads, and on one such trip (Heading up to North York Centre station) I see Rick Mercer just standing there keeping to himself. Of the 6 minute ride NOT ONE PERSON said a word to him (And there was heavy traffic in and out of where he was standing) lol not one person said "Oh hey it's Rick Mercer!"
hahaha what a bad interview.. its like a 10 year old kid spouting random questions. and the rant about ice hotels.. ahhh thats terrible. and plugging your own comedy group during his interview, real professional.
Mercer is a sell-out.
