Just Chill with Oliver George #101 - Rick Campanelli

Join Oliver as he chills with the remarkable Rick Campanelli, who makes his triumphant return to the podcast! Rick is easily one of the most recognizable Canadian television and radio personalities of all time, delighting audiences for decades with his undeniable charisma. His prowess as an interviewer and vast knowledge of pop culture were always on full display during his vocation as both a beloved MuchMusic VJ and host of Entertainment Tonight Canada.

The convo kicks off with talk about the brand new documentary '299 Queen Street West' by director Sean Menard. The film weaves together tons of archival footage to chronicle the magical history behind MuchMusic and the people that made it so special. A cross-Canada tour is about to begin, which will also feature live discussions with iconic VJs (including Rick) after each screening! Later on, Oliver learns Rick's secret to looking eternally youthful and why family values are so important to him. He also shares memories of some of his favourite celebrity encounters throughout his career, and sheds light on what it was like being a part of the ill-fated Woodstock '99 Festival. All this and so much more in this wonderful episode!
