Yeah, it was only one season. It was actually a neat show, but it was 11pm so he never really had much chance to grow an audience, plus they ignored a really big strength of his which is actually talking news/politics.
They made his show a pure interview show, and from what I've read it was Larry King that pushed hard to bring him down based on interviews between the two when King was in Canada. On one interview I remember King actually failed to answer one of George's questions, instead just going on about how he's a genuine talent and so good at his job.
Or as Canadian hockey fans would say "that guy from Much Music", haha.
