From the “Canada AM” newsletter: Well, that was a fun show. Sometimes our producers get some fun ideas…. “Why don’t we get the hosts to wear these two person sweaters and decorate a tree” and the idea just grows from there. Thank you Bev, Marci, Jeff, Loren {Christie}, Richard, Rex [Harrington] and Bob [Hope] for being such great sports!

“Canada AM” Web Exclusive: Richard’s interview with “St. Vincent” star Chris O’Dowd.
A synopsis: Bill Murray plays Vincent, a Sheep’s Head, New York guy whose life is in as bad a shape as his jokes. He’s usually drunk or trying to get drunk. His house is second mortgaged to the hilt, his bank account in overdraft and his only friends are a Himalayan cat and the pregnant working girl he pays for company. His new neighbors, single mom Maggie (Melissa McCarthy) and ten year old Oliver (Jaeden Lieberher) are a nuisance to him, until he discovers he can make a few extra bucks babysitting the boy. “Is that our new neighbor,” says Oliver when he first spies Vincent. “It’s going to be a long life.” The pair, however, form a bond. Vinnie passes along valuable life experience, like how to fight, bet on horses and order a drink in a bar, but when Oliver’s dad sues for co-custody it turns out Vinnie’s life lessons may have been ill advised.

“[Bill Murray] is an icon. It’s less about him being one of the funniest human beings, and more about that he’s such a good actor. I thought this role was right in his wheelhouse because I knew he wasn’t going to overplay it. Then to see him do it so subtly and so underplayed, makes you love that character so much. It was a master class for me.”
