Fun fact

Canadians of a certain age know him first as the Street Cents kid, a CBC consumer-affairs show for teenagers — a full decade before J-Roc.

The verdict

J-Roc from Trailer Park Boys, Rémy Nadeau on Shoresy, and before all of it the host of Street Cents and Jonovision — which means an entire generation of Canadians watched him on CBC after school. Charlottetown-born. There is no version of Canadian television he has not been on. Five points.
