Turkish-born Ennis Esmer is probably best known to Canadians who tune in every Friday night at 8 p.m. to watch him as Osman ‘Oz’ Bey, on the popular CTV show, The Listener. But Esmer won’t only be recognized for being a supernatural paramedic’s best friend for much longer.
The 32-year-old actor will host the highly-anticipated, Wipeout Canada, which premieres Sunday night on TVtropolis, alongside his co-anchor Jonathan Torrens (of Trailer Park Boys fame) and field reporter, Jessica Phillips (Republic of Doyle and Being Erica).
So what does Esmer love the most about working on Wipeout Canada so far?
“I think it’s realizing the lifelong dream of making fun of people for falling down,” said the actor, adding that his favourite challenge on the course is, “watching the contestants try to salvage their dignity, while being ridiculed.”
The dignity Esmer speaks of is often illusive on the hilariously difficult four-round course, as contestants attempt tackling obstacles like the dizzy dummy, the sucker punch wall and the wipeout zone to try and score the $50,000 grand prize. Of the winning sum, Esmer said there are a lot of reasons why people compete for the money.
“Some want it to put their kids through school, some to pay off debt. One person wanted to go on a shopping spree at Costco,” he said. “I don’t know how you could spend $50,000 at Costco though.”
I’m not sure either, but clearly someone who is willing to spend $50,000 shopping at the ultimate bulk store must be a character – as many of the contestants who appear on Wipeout, are.
“I think people just really want to be on television,” said Esmer, “almost more than they want the money. There’s a wide-range of physical specimens on the show, some real characters. And there are definitely contestants who try to make themselves stand out as villains.”

This television season?s biggest mystery: Who is Gossip Girl?
Savvy fans will recognize Veronica Mars herself, Kristen Bell, as the all-knowing voice behind Gossip Girl?s biting narration. Based on the best-selling series by Cecily von Ziegesar, the identity of Gossip Girl is never revealed, while she spills all the secrets of the most popular students at a posh Manhattan prep school on her web site.
Helmed by the acclaimed creators of The O.C., Josh Schwartz and Canadian Stephanie Savage, Gossip Girl promises to be every bit as fresh and juicy as viewers came to expect from The O.C., with some Sex and the City flair and a hip soundtrack.
But Gossip Girl?s drama is on a whole new level than the Cohen family ever dealt with. The pilot, airing at 8 p.m. ET tonight, focuses on the sudden return of Serena Van der Woodsen (Blake Lively, Accepted), whose self-imposed exile to boarding school was at the centre of a falling out with her best friend, Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester, Entourage). While Blair has enjoyed her time as reigning social queen, Serena?s arrival threatens to take away her spotlight – and the affections of her boyfriend, Nate (Chace Crawford, The Covenant).
One person who is pleased to see Serena is Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley, The Bedford Diaries), an outcast at school because of his middle-class background who only has eyes for her. His freshman sister, Jenny (Taylor Momsen, How the Grinch Stole Christmas), is desperate to be accepted and is thrilled by the attentions of bad boy Chuck Bass (Ed Westick, Children of Men).
And of course, every last scandalous detail is provided to the members of this elite and vicious circle via Gossip Girl?s up-to-the-minute messages to their Sidekicks.
You know you love it.
Gossip Girl will settle into its regular timeslot next Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.
