Jian Ghomeshi
Known for his charm, wit and sense of humour, Jian Ghomeshi is a renaissance man for the 21st century. A broadcaster, writer, musician, producer and activist, Ghomeshi's wide variety of interests has laid the foundation for a colourful career that has taken him around the world.
He is the host and co-creator of the national daily talk program, Q, on CBC Radio One and CBC TV. Since its inception in 2007, Q has garnered the largest audience of any cultural affairs program in Canada and has become the highest-rated show in its morning time slot in CBC history. Q is also now broadcast across the United States, on PRI.
Mixing insight and opinion with unscripted wit, Jian shifts seamlessly from editorial essays to moderating debates on the air. He has interviewed an array of prominent international figures from prime ministers to sports stars and cultural icons. His feature interview subjects on Q have included Woody Allen, Paul McCartney, Neil Young, Van Morrison, Salman Rushdie, Barbara Walters, Tom Waits, William Shatner, Jay-Z, Al Gore, Margaret Atwood and - in a television world-exclusive -- Leonard Cohen.
As a writer and interviewer, Jian has been published in The Washington Post, The Guardian, The Globe and Mail, The Toronto Star, The National Post, El Mundo and The International Herald Tribune.
On the platform, Ghomeshi explores current events, media, and popular culture. He tailors his talks to the audience, environment and objectives of your event and blends opinions and ideas with storytelling, personal anecdotes and lessons learned from experiences throughout his life.
Client Testimonials:
"Drawing from personal experiences and hardships, Jian showed me that there is a lot more to him than music and journalism. However, Jian used his stories as a gateway to important social issues, though an hour only was only able to scratch the surface."
4th year student, University of Saskatchewan
"It was fantastic, the show sold out, the talk was really well received and the crowd enjoyed it. He hung around after to talk with people and 'just hang out' and that was well appreciated and enjoyed."
