Manage episode 418800855 series 2595138
Rick Mercer is back to discuss their 'Will They or Won't They' tour and the joy of spreading "mirth" to audiences across Canada. They reflect on their favourite tour experiences and share some behind the scenes moments, including the misconception that Peter Mansbridge is traveling with them and doing the voiceover for their show from backstage. Jann and Rick discuss their on-stage dynamic and chemistry and the enjoyment they get from making people laugh, along with the importance of respect and kindness to eachother. They also discuss the changing landscape of television and the possibility of future projects together.
