- George Stroumboulopoulos is starting a summer gig with CNN on June 9th. He’ll be doing ten weeks of a show called, simply, Stroumboulopoulos. The network says his guests will include fellow Canadian Ellen Page, as well as Robert Kirkman, who writes the Walking Dead comic books. Will Americans enjoy Strombo? Will they ever learn to pronounce and spell his name as well as we have?
