George Strombolopolous Tonight set

Darcie and I have had the opportunity to watch a live taping of a tv show. The show is George Strombolopolous Tonight which used to be called The Hour. It was neat to see how the show is produced with time for commercial breaks and lots of behind the scenes stuff. The tickets are free and is taped in the CBC building downtown. The first time we went, George interviewed two guests over Skype. We were kind of bummed there wasn't a guest interviewed in the studio so we went again the following week and got to see Billy Connolly who is a fairly well known comedian from Scotland. It was cool to watch the taping of the show and then watch it later on tv that night. On a side note, Plas-Tech made some plastic parts for the set.
These red chairs are the only things they brough from the old set when his show was called The Hour
