Steven Kerzner, Ed the Sock

Steven Kerzner, Ed the Sock

Ed the Sock Creator Steven Kerzner remembers North York’s Newton Cable, shares Ed’s origin story [involves the Crafts Closet] and namesake [think Lou Grant/Carl from UP], talks about Ed’s Night Party transitioning from community cable to CityTV to a national MuchMusic audience, why he thinks Moses Znaimer is responsible for the greatest phase of creativity in Canadian TV history [people love to watch people], and presents the REAL STORY behind the conspicuously similar Robert Smigel/Conan O’Brien sock puppet Triumph the Insult Comic Dog [Triumph the Ripoff Dog?].  

VERY SPECIAL APPEARANCE by Ed the Sock himself recalling his best interviews [Avril Lavigne before she broke big, Lenny Kravitz & Denzel Washington as they literally broke glassware] and worst interviews [Vanilla Ice, Snow, Mariah Carey] as well as the Woodstock ’99 live experience that ended in a full-scale RIOT [no thanks to Fred Durst].
