You’ve noticed that no credits run at the end of each broadcast of The Hour.
That’s certainly one way to keep the focus on brand George, and not distract viewers with a reminder of just how many people it takes to create the pretense of a one-man show.
But not showing the credits is also a way of hiding how many people are taking a slice out of the program’s budget – and who they are.
Are Jerome and Rusty still getting cheques as Creative Consultants?
Because it’s hard not to think of a puppet show with this production.
But one thing is clear: The CBC doesn’t want anyone to know where the money is actually going to pay for this nightly sinkhole of a show.

Hello? It’s television.
The entire thing, from top to bottom, is a puppet show.
If you had no idea that Dick had his hand in our collective trousers, it may be time for some retraining.
I’m not a TV person … but, if the show has been on for 5 yrs and going into it’s 6th season, then I guess it is.
did you just say Allan you’re my god?
thank you for lighting up my life
I’m sorry.
My mistake was letting my bluntness mask my subtlety.
You see, I wasn’t thinking about writers in this post.
I’m guessing the puppet reference threw you.
I’ve never seen the credits, though I did look for them
but it won’t really surprise you that I’ve not seen every episode of The Hour
not even most of them
management also, can have a financial stake in this show
I would be interested to know if you think The Hour is financially viable?
Oh, my God, Allan, you’™re a loser ’“ Colbert and Sewart have way more writers than George. And, I have seen credits and the end of his show from time to time. get a life already.
