• A short quiz

    From Rhino@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jun 12 18:00:35 2025
    This very short video features a Canadian V-J (video jockey) who used to
    be a host on a Canadian cable network called Much Music, which was
    essentially the Canadian version of MTV.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHgPDakp2e8 [45 seconds]

    The quiz question is:

    What is this guy doing for a living now and who is his employer?

    Bonus points: name ANY of his jobs after the Much Music gig but before
    his current job.

    NOTE: You do NOT need to be Canadian to know the answer; in fact, you
    will have an advantage if you're American.

    Working as a reporter/journalist/talking head for CNN?
    All you need to do is imagine him with a close crop hair cut.

    Bonus points: name ANY of his jobs after the Much Music gig but before
    his current job.

    Not a clue.

    Actually, his gig at CNN was one of his previous ones; he's with Fox
    News now.

    Yes, that's John Roberts, although he insisted on being called "J.D."
    when he was a V-J here and also when he switched to being a reporter.
    But the Americans wouldn't let him be "J.D."

    Since his last name isn't Vance what's the problem with "J.D."?
