Buzz was a 2000-2005 Canadian comedy television series that aired on The Comedy Network. The show was hosted by "Mista Mo" (Morgan Oliver Smith) [1] and Daryn Jones. The show originally aired from 1996-1999 [2] as a community channel show on Rogers Television [3] before getting a network deal in 1999. [4] [5] In 2001, the show won a Gemini Award in the "Best Writing in a Comedy or Variety Program or Series" category. Season 4 saw them take the show to New York, London, Amsterdam and Frankfurt. The show ended in 2005.
Created in Toronto, the show found a place on the Comedy Network when The Tom Green Show left to MTV. The show uses sketch comedy, non-sequiturs and guerrilla comedy. The two hosts, Daryn Jones, a geeky theatre major, and Mista Mo, an "almost real rapper" often riff on the racial tensions between them. [6]
