Bio
George Stroumboulopoulos is a Canadian television and radio personality and best known as the host of CBC Television's The Hour (a talk show about the world's current events) and being a VJ for Canadian music television channel MuchMusic.
George got his start in radio, at a station in Kelowna, British Columbia. Next, he was back in Toronto, first at The Fan 590 - Toronto's all sports radio station - then at The Edge 102.1 rock station, where he hosted Live In Toronto.
Later he joined MuchMusic as producer and host of The NewMusic, The Punk Show, LOUD and MuchNews.
In 2004 George took part in a special feature series on CBC - The Greatest Canadian in history. He was one of 10 advocates who made a case for the Top 10 nominees.
His personal and passionate argument for Tommy Douglas, Canada's "father of Medicare", struck a chord with Canadians. In the end, more than 1.2-million votes were cast from across the country and Douglas won.
From there, George joined the CBC as host of The Hour. Since then, he's gone on to interview a who's-who of politics, entertainment, sports and more.
In radio, he currently hosts The Strombo Show on CBC Radio 2.
George has travelled to the Arctic for a special on literacy, youth culture and the loss of Inuit identity. He's been to Sudan with Raine Maida and Dr. Eric Hoskins, and Zambia for a World AIDS Day special documentary.
In his free time, George can be found on the open road riding one of his motorcycles, on-ice playing hockey, or cheering for his beloved Montreal Canadiens.
