ALEX LIFESON on The Rick Mercer Report.

For those of you not familiar with Rick Mercer, he's a Canadian comedian known best for his political jokes and spoofs. He's kind of like the Canadian version of John Stewart, only different.

The Rick Mercer Report is a hilarious half hour show where Rick travels the country doing strange and interesting things with Canadian celebrities and political figures. A few highlights that come to mind are skinny-dipping in Northern Ontario with the former Ontario Premier, Bob Rae; bungie jumping with Rick Hanson (who is in a wheelchair); and a sleepover with Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
