Wow, after reading the previous 92 comments it would appear the vast majority of huffers and puffers are against Black having a show. Hey man, it's not like it's on the CBC and you're paying for it, right? Chill already. If Moses wants give CB a perch, I say let him. It's his money. I'll watch with great interest. I think it's a great idea. Black is no slouch in terms of having a provocative and insightful take on current events. He's got the chops for this. We've got to assume he has a pretty decent network of interesting folks on whom he can call to sit with him. He's Canada's most underrated comedian and wit. And he's not above that endearing Canadian art of self-deprecation. From the 11-minute teaser reel posted over there on Zoomer's website, he rather enjoys poking fun at the image that many of you have of him as an entitled, plutocratic elitist.

I dunno, I think the bulk of the reaction to this development in this Comments thread is most uncharitable and reflects poorly on this site's general decorum.

Let's give the dude a chance.

Why not call the show : Bkack Mad Dog and Englishman....

This is going to backfire on Black and Moses Znaimer. Black loves to sneer at his critics and denigrate their opinions, but he will be in a very different, unfamiliar role as an interviewer.

Good journalists, hosts and interviewers know that the story is always about the person they are talking to, not themselves. Does Black have it in himself to be objective and self-effacing? Will this habitual windbag demonstrate the tolerance to let his subject speak a point of view that disagrees with his own narrow, self-serving opinions? Unless there is a lot more to Black than he has revealed in his writings and his public life, I doubt it.

Hey dunce cap, Bogdan from Breaking Bad called he wants his eyebrows back.

He should have Rex Murphy for his first guest! You'd think you landed on blatherland...

Looks like a mug-shot. Oh yeah right I forgot.

How cute… a former procurer of porn and now established media “cultural icon” wants to establish another media “cultural icon” out of a former convict.

Another one of those – only in Canada, eh?

Who gave him a work permit????

Moses and Conrad--- Could one think of a more vainglorious duo ?

Canadas version of Amercas Most Wanted CRIMINALS--

Another reason to abandon Carp. (Canadian association of retired persons)

I can hardly wait to have the 1% spoon feed me....

well, technically it won' be a "talk" show because connie will likely do all the talking. Actually, pontificating or bloviating is more like it. I can't wait to miss it.

Finally, someone that can put the peasantry back in its place. Always liked the guy right from the time when he played Lurch on the Addams Family.

Can`t wait. Best thing since Beavis and Butthead. ok ok. Lighten up. The guy is no longer a heavyweight.
