The Listener and Wipeout Canada’s Ennis Esmer on hosting versus acting

From Bill Harris of QMI Agency:

  • ‘Listener’ star Esmer branches out
    So who does Ennis Esmer think he is, the new Bob Barker? “Wow,” said Esmer, loving the comparison. “That’s heady praise, absolutely.” Esmer — best known to Canadian TV viewers these days for his role as Osman (Oz) Bey on CTV’s The Listener — actually is becoming well known for his hosting abilities, too.

Being Erica, Little Mosque on the Prairie, This Hour Has 22 Minutes

CBC’s dreary new season

From John Doyle of the Globe and Mail:

  • A few bright hopes in CBC’s otherwise dreary season

MTV’s very own smash-hit 1 GIRL 5 GAYS is making a big splash across North America with their nomination at the 2011 NEWNOWNEXT AWARDS! The annual award show celebrates who and what are about to hit it big. That means the most-buzzed about actors, most-obsessed about singers, and most-addictive TV shows on the brink of massive fame. And the best part is that the ultimate decision is in the hands of the fans! The controversial Canadian series with a big heart has been nominated in the TV You Betta Watch category, alongside American hits such as PRETTY LITTLE LIARS, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, and TOSH.O. Canadians can show their 1G5G love by voting here by Friday, Mar. 4. Then, viewers find out who comes out on top at the 2011 NEWNOWNEXT AWARDS airing Monday, Apr. 11 at 10 p.m. ET on MTV.

Since its debut in 2008, the NEWNOWNEXT AWARDS have discovered talent long before they hit the mainstream charts and earned critical acclaim. Lady Gaga gave her first televised performance at this show, a full year before she won at the MTV VMAs and eventual Emmy® Award winner TRUE BLOOD was recognized here before it won any mainstream praise. Canadians can also vote for their favourite newcomers in other categories such as Brink of Fame Music Artist, Most Addictive Reality Star, zOMG Internet Award, and the all-important Cause You’re Hot Award.
