Canada’s pre-eminent satirical commentator brings straight down the curtain on his hugely successful display in this quick #1 country wide bestseller.

Rick Mercer may always be relied to provoke a strong reaction–but what he said 1 fall day in 2017 truly shocked the country. In a rant posted on social media marketing, the fantastic Canadian satirist announced noisy and very clear that the existing, 15th season from the Rick Mercer Report–the nation’s best-watched and best-loved humor show–would be the last. After more about Rick Mercer Last Report than 250 episodes, 250 rants and countless miles spent travelling the space and breadth of Canada to do everything from bungee jumping with Rick Hansen to whale watching with Measha Brueggergosman, it had been time to move on. What he’ll do next is still unfamiliar, and Canada eagerly awaits potential developments. But in the meantime, we have this publication to keep us going.

This volume includes never-before-published rants from the last five seasons of the show, plus a selection of the very best rants from earlier years. And throughout the book, in a series of brilliant new essays, Rick stocks his hilarious, shifting and at times hair-raising remembrances from the past fifteen years. Keep in mind when he and Jann Arden travelled by helicopter to a terrifying bat cave inside a mountain? No–because that trip went so horribly incorrect it never managed to get to the display. Pierre Berton–what really was in that joint he rolled? (It wasn’t oregano.) What catastrophe took place in Norman Jewison’s bathroom? And will the display still continue when your movie director in charge is certainly delirious from an allergic reaction? (Yes.) All of this and more is revealed by Rick in some of his sharpest and funniest composing yet.
