In 2001, Mercer co-produced a CBC special based on "Talking to Americans", which attracted 2.7 million Canadian viewers - the highest-rated comedy special in the history of CBC. Later, the respected ABC News program Nightline would devote a show to it. This was his last major project related to 22 Minutes -- at the end of the 2000-2001 season, he announced his departure from that show. It was rumoured that part of the reason he had decided to leave was due to a long-standing feud with his co-star Mary Walsh.
