Description

Joseph and Ross sit down with an absolute Canadian icon: Rick Campanelli. If you grew up with MuchMusic, you already know the guy. We get into how he went from a student making a wild application banner in his parents’ basement for the "Temp" contest at MuchMusic, to becoming one of the most recognizable people on Canadian TV. A big influence on Joseph's career, Rick shares amazing stories from the Much days, what it was like interviewing some of the biggest bands, and how he somehow still has the most contagious positivity on earth.

We also get into the tougher stuff... getting blindsided after 12 years at ET Canada, shifting careers, becoming “Mr. Mom” for a bit, and figuring out what comes next when the world feels like it doesn't need you. It's all in this episode of "You'll Never Make It."
