Description

With all the nostalgia for the ’90s, this is our moment to rally around Rick “The Temp” Campanelli, whose nickname was upgraded to “The Franchise” after his long tenure as a beloved MuchMusic VJ. His bombshell memoir, Tempted: My Story, takes us along his journey from Queen Street West to hosting ET: Canada and Breakfast Television in Toronto.

And we have the perfect pro to lead the conversation and audience Q&A: Dave Kelly, the beloved host of Calgary’s Breakfast Television.

Wordfest showcases the world’s most intriguing authors (in every genre!) from January through December. For more information about this show and others coming up soon to Calgary, visit wordfest.com.
