Ed the Sock is a sock puppet character, created and voiced by Steven Joel Kerzner, who first appeared on Canadian local cable television in 1987. He is best known for his hosting appearances in the 1990s on MuchMusic and his own late night talk show, Ed's Night Party.[1] He is a gray sock puppet with green hair, round eyes, a scowl, a cigar and a rough, gravelly voice.
Since the acquisition of MuchMusic by Bell Media, causing the cancellation of the majority of its music programming, the Ed the Sock character has continued to be portrayed through FU Network and NewMusicNation.[2]
Kerzner and his wife have since been accused of not paying collaborators, and of defrauding others with their crowdfunding.[3]
