Just Chill with Oliver George #94 - Chris Candy

Join Oliver as he chills with actor, comedian, musician and writer Chris Candy! He hosts his own weekly radio show called 'Neüz Pollution' on Los Angeles' KXLU and co-hosts a podcast called 'Bumper 2 Bumper' with filmmaker Rick Darge. In addition to his many talents, he is also the only son of legendary actor John Candy!

Things kick off with talk about the Crackup Comedy Festival here in Ottawa, where Chris was bestowing this year's Candy Awards upon standup comic Big Daddy Tazz and SCTV alumni Robin Duke. Oliver learns about Chris' musical endeavors, as well as his longstanding friendship with ska/punk icon Mike Park. The conversation later covers some of the very entertaining short films that Chris has been involved with and the importance of following your own path. Which leads to chatting about his Dad's remarkable body of work and Chris reflecting on actor Ryan Renolds' extreme admiration for John.
