You may have noticed that CBC has been in the headlines a lot lately. There seems to be a lot of comings and goings, so I decided to make this handy pop quiz.
See how many you get right!
Kevin O’Leary and Bruce Croxon:
NO!
Both financial gurus have announced that they’re leaving the Dragon’s Den for good. Â Although, those who enjoy O’Leary’s, um, personality can still watch ABC’s Shark Tank which seems to be gaining more and more popularity with every airing.
*Edit: O’Leary technically still works at the CBC, the Lang & O’Leary Exchange airs on CBC News Network.
Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara:
YES!
Their new comedy Schitt’s Creek, premieres this fall.
Rick Mercer:
YES!
If CBC ever does fold, Mercer will be there to turn off the lights.
George Stroumboulopoulos:
NO!
(Well, technically yes, but only for a few more months.) He’s joining the Hockey Night In Canada team on the Rogers properties. RIPÂ George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight.
The casts of Arctic Air, The Ron James Show and Cracked:
NO!
All three series have been canceled and won’t be returning next year.
CBC’s Director of News Content David Walmsley:
No! Â
It was announced today that he’s leaving CBC to be the new editor-in-chief at the Globe and Mail.
Cyril Sneer:
No!
But, I’m beginning to the think that my long gestating Racoons reboot would actually be able to save CBC at this point. Â Who wouldn’t love to return to the evergreen forest?
So, how’d you do?
