  • Rick was born in St. John’s, Newfoundland, on October 17, 1969.
  • He’s one of four kids.
  • His mom was a nurse, and his father was in fisheries.
  • A multi-award winner, Rick has won 20 Gemini Awards and the prestigious Governor General’s Performing Arts Award.
  • His current show, the Rick Mercer Report, is taped in front of live audiences in Toronto, Canada. One of Rick’s most popular television spots is his recurring two-minute Rant.
  • Rick first came to national attention with his one-man show Show Me the Button, I’ll Push It.
  • “Talking To Americans” became CBC’s highest-rated comedy special with 2.7 million viewers. One of his most memorable segments came from an interaction with then President Bush, in which Prime Minister Jean “Poutine” was discussed.
