Ennis Esmer

After failing to earn a callback audition for host of The Toronto Show (2003), Ennis was coincidentally booked to host a stand-up comedy show that featured a network showcase for potential series hosts. He was informed halfway through the evening that he was winning over the network heads, and he went on to land the gig, hosting 120 episodes of the late-night comedy and music series.

On often working multiple projects at the same time: I'm an absolutely manageably amount of busy. All these things are (for the most part) a blast to work on, and I try to never lose sight of the fact that busy is the thing I want to be more than anything. Busy is victory. I try to look at busy as a challenge and never as a struggle, because there's nothing else I'd rather be busy doing.
