George Stroumboulopoulos, NYT journalist, dairy CEO among 78 named to Order of Canada
When George Stroumboulopoulos thinks back on his TV career, it's his time hosting The NewMusic in the early 2000s that resonates most.
Many Canadians remember how the gregarious host introduced them to bands and musicians on the MuchMusic program, and those years are part of the reason he is now being appointed to the Order of Canada.
"It was this golden era of television that I don't think could ever be created again," he told The Canadian Press in an interview.
Stroumboulopoulos went on to host his own show on CBC for a decade, followed by a stint on Hockey Night in Canada from 2014 to 2016.
He has interviewed everyone from Oprah Winfrey to Hilary Clinton to Snoop Dogg — but he said he never changed along the way.
"With very rare exceptions, I have been 100 per cent myself the whole way," he said.
Stroumboulopoulos is one of 78 Canadians being awarded one of the country’s highest honours.
