I've been lucky enough to be involved with some big national broadcasts.
Working with Rick Mercer and Greg Eckler, we've done a bunch of CBC New Years Eve Specials. These were shot in Ottawa, Niagara Falls, Collingwood, St. Johns NL, and Live from Rick's shed during the pandemic.
One of my own little claims to fame is that helped write the video that Justin Trudeau made to welcome in Canada's 150th year. In that video I wrote a line for the PM to announce an "Official 24 hours of peace and forgiveness towards anyone who ever did you wrong, made you mad or broke your heart" and was really happy he did that. It was also the video that caused some uproar when it came to light that the PM just sent in a video while he vacationed on the Aga Khan's private island.
Another one I'm happy about is a sketch for RMR that was filmed by Chris Hadfield on the International Space Station (below).
I've lost count of how many Canadian Screen Award nominations Rick, Greg and I have shared but I do know we won 3 together. We've written many Giller Prize shows, Just for Laughs galas and tours, CBC specials and corporate shows.
Next is the 2026 Giller Prize in November, and who knows what the future holds?
