During his time as a television reporter in Toronto, he briefly became a national news story when, while he was doing a live spot from Comedy Bar's emergency meeting responding to SiriusXM Canada's controversial plan to rebrand its Canada Laughs channel, actor Boyd Banks began licking Glover's ear on the air.^[3] Banks apologized for his behaviour the following day,^[4] and Glover wrote a first-person essay about the incident and its ramifications a few days later, in which he noted that as embarrassed and humiliated as he was, women in journalism regularly face much more persistent and aggressive harassment.^[5]
