You prob­a­bly now know him as John Roberts the CNN Anchor, and pre­vi­ously as the CBS White House Cor­re­spon­dent but if you’re Cana­dian maybe you remem­ber him as JD Roberts Much­mu­sic VJ extra­or­di­naire. Even though that was 20 years ago it’s hilar­i­ous to see him with the stylin’ mul­let cut. That was short lived and as soon as he joined CityTV in Toronto that was quickly cut off.

On behalf of all Cana­di­ans I am beg­ging: John Roberts bring back the mullet!

Seri­ously though John Roberts is another in a long line of Cana­di­ans who have made us proud by becom­ing a fix­ture in Amer­i­can broad­cast jour­nal­ism. But seri­ously John, the mul­let was classic.
