Described by Maclean's magazine as "one of Canada's most bankable television commodities," he has combined his "mutually parasitic" relationship with politicians, his ability to connect with ordinary Canadians and a mischievous, court jester perspective to become the satirical conscience of Canadian politics and culture. That the sharp-tongued comedian should bite the hand that feeds him is hardly surprising. When it comes to humor, Mercer shows no mercy. His targets include self-absorbed baby boomers, superficial journalists and pompous politicians on both the left and the right. Canadians each week look forward to hearing "Good Evening, I'm Rick Mercer and this is The Mercer Report". Sun, 03 Aug 2008 14:58:39 -0600
