Stuart began his broadcasting career making radio documentaries for CBC Radio's Sunday Morning. In 1979 he won an ACTRA award for Best Radio Documentary for his contribution to the program's coverage of the Jonestown massacre.

Following Sunday Morning, Stuart spent seven years as a regular columnist and guest host on CBC's Morningside. His book, The Morningside World of Stuart McLean, was a Canadian bestseller and a finalist in the 1990 City of Toronto Book Awards.

Stuart has also written Welcome Home: Travels in Small Town Canada, and edited the collection When We Were Young. Welcome Home was chosen by the Canadian Authors' Association as the best non-fiction book of 1993.

Stuart's books Stories from the Vinyl Cafe, Home from the Vinyl Cafe, Vinyl Cafe Unplugged, Vinyl Cafe Diaries, Dave Cooks the Turkey, Secrets from the Vinyl Cafe and Extreme Vinyl Cafe have all been Canadian bestsellers. Vinyl Cafe Diaries was awarded the Canadian Authors' Association Jubilee Award in 2004. Stuart was also a three-time winner of the Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour for Home from the Vinyl Cafe, Vinyl Cafe Unplugged and, most recently, Secrets from the Vinyl Cafe.

Vinyl Cafe books have also been published in the U.S., the U.K., Australia and New Zealand.

In 1993 Trent University named him the first Rooke Fellow for Teaching, Writing and Research.

Kenny Wong's practical jokes (on CD 2) is truly one of my all-time favourite stories.

It's filled with hilarious moments that never fail to make me burst out laughing. Kenny Wong, the mischievous protagonist, has a knack for coming up with the most outrageous and entertaining practical jokes.

His antics range from harmless pranks on his friends to more elaborate schemes that keep everyone on their toes.

The story is not only funny but also showcases Kenny Wong's creativity and sense of humour.

It's a joy to follow his adventures and see how his practical jokes unfold.

Each joke is unique and adds a new layer of excitement to the story.

Whether it's a clever disguise or a unexpected twist, Kenny Wong always manages to surprise and amuse.

This story has become a classic for me, and I can't wait to share it with others.

It's a reminder that sometimes, a good practical joke can bring a lot of laughter and fun into our lives.
