Cheers to CBC for putting this on YouTube for a global audience.

They should really bring Ariel back for the Paralympic games! He would really bring their stories to a larger audience

[CoolsBreeze]

You just have to love Phil Wizard Kim. He really seems like someone you can just hang out with and have a fun time talking to him.

a million thanks to the entire Paris Tonight Team! you guys made this Olympic experience like no other before in my nearly 5 decades on the planet! I've never known so much about the olympics and all that the Canadians have done there! CBC: Please approve a repeat for all future Olympics!

Easily and consistently the best recap and interview show over the past two weeks. So happy that the CBC put Ariel in a position where non-fight fans see how truly fantastic he is at humanizing athletes.

As a longtime MMA Hour listener, Ariel killed the Olympic coverage!

[onionsbabyonions]

I really hope CBC reads these comments, and just want to echo most here in appreciating how great Ariel has been in this Olympics. Please make sure he's back in future CBC sports and Olympics coverage.

We all got to watch along while Ariel began his surprise ascension to the the very top of Canadian broadcasting. A stellar job by the CBC, what an amazing two-weeks it has been.

Merci Ariel! Games wouldn't have been the same for me without you in it. Thx to CBC that made the daily dose of Helwani come to life!

I didn’t expect Ariel to have such an appreciation and good understanding of breaking especially all the hate it’s getting. Respect 🙏🙏🙏
