Rick Campanelli
Richard Adam Matthew Campanelli (born January 5, 1970) is a Canadian television and radio personality who currently works on Breakfast Television as a live eye reporter. He is known for his work as a VJ and host on MuchMusic and for co-hosting ET Canada.
Campanelli is a native of Hamilton, Ontario, and grew up in a working class Italian-Canadian family. He is the youngest of four siblings in a Roman Catholic family.
Campanelli attended school in St. Catharines. He attended Brock University, earning a degree in physical education.
Campanelli was introduced to the MuchMusic viewers as the winner of MuchMusic's 1994 MuchTemp contest. Originally he was nicknamed "The Temp" (or, famously, "Rick the Temp"). Campanelli has since been labeled "The Franchise" for his long tenure and high popularity while on MuchMusic. In addition to being a video jockey, he also co-hosted Much on Demand, The MuchMusic Countdown and The MuchMusic Radio Countdown.
Campanelli's final appearance on MuchMusic was August 26, 2005, on MuchOnDemand. He was subsequently announced as one of the reporters for ET Canada, a new Canadian licensee of Entertainment Tonight, which was launched on September 12, 2005.
In early 2007, Campanelli hosted the Canada's Case Game segments on Global's Deal or No Deal Canada, during that series' first limited run.[citation needed]
Campanelli is involved with several charitable organizations including World Vision Canada, Tuberous Sclerosis, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, McMaster Children's Hospital, and Kids Help Phone. On May 27, 2009, he hosted the Youth and Philanthropy Initiative in Toronto.
In February 2016, Toronto radio station CFNY-FM announced that Campanelli would join the station as co-host with Fred Kennedy and Melanie Mariani of the station's morning show, beginning June 27. Later that year, he made a cameo appearance in the music video for James Barker Band's "Just Sayin'".
