(andPOP) - Fresh off the tour, and not ready to record a new album, Ed’s Up! is back with Barenaked Ladies frontman Ed Robertson for more gruelling days of pain and hard work across and around North America. Each episode has Ed at a new set of coordinates for a new job with a new boss.
While Ed was busy signing autographs, and playing with his band, his plane had floats installed. Ed needs to get comfortable landing the plane on water. If he wants to touch down he has no other choice. The Hudson River!, The New Orleans Delta!, what about the hills of Northern Ontario? Each episode begins on a dare as Ed has to find enough water to land the plane, then get to work as an Air Force Pilot, Race Car Pit Crew, how about cleaning a Hospital in Brooklyn. The pampered prince of BNL better suck it up and get to work. This is less a TV show, more of a hard days work - a job has to get done, and Ed is here to do it.
These are the jobs that define the foundation and spirit of a country, the jobs everyone has to do day in and day out, the jobs that pay the bills and keep us a proud nation. Ed’s Up! for anything. Does he have what it takes to work in an Abattoir, an Underground Gold Mine, or working with an alligator biologist – with LIVE alligators!
Ed's Up airs on OLN Canada and andPOP sat down with the one and only Ed Robertson recently in Toronto.
