Including even more rants, Canada's pre-eminent satirical commentator brings down the curtain on his hugely successful show in this #1 national bestseller.

Canada's pre-eminent satirical commentator brings down the curtain on his hugely successful show in this instant #1 national bestseller.

Rick Mercer startled the nation when in 2017 he announced that the 15th season of Canada’s most-watched and beloved comedy show the Rick Mercer Report would be the last. As this book reminds us, he quit while he was way, way ahead. Final Report includes blisteringly good rants from the final five seasons and some of the very best rants from the show’s early years. And in three brilliant new essays that include a love letter to Parliament Buildings, how Doug Ford became Ontario premier (hint: it had nothing to do with talent) and how he managed not to freak out in the year after the RMR wrapped, Rick, a recipient of a 2019 Governor General’s Performing Arts Lifetime Artistic Achievement Award, reveals himself as a comic writer and entertainer at the very top of his game.

Praise for Rick Mercer Final Report

Praise for A Nation Worth Ranting About:

  • "A self-described 'rantaholic,' Rick Mercer is our country's best-known and most-loved satirist. . . . The use of surprise or the unexpected is a trademark of Mercer's humour. . . . But once again, beneath his humour, Mercer is seething. . . . You can't read Mercer's rants without appreciating that we live in a society where ranting--whether it's about our government, attitudes toward sexuality, or escalators--is possible. And that, kids, is a good thing." --Calgary Herald
