Send us Fan Mail I first met Paul Sun-Hyung Lee several years ago on the set of the CBC comedy Kim’s Convenience. It was a warm and memorable conversation. That series was brand new and Paul, after paying dues on Train 48 as well as on the stage, was thrilled to finally land a leading role on a hit network sitcom. Now the Canadian Screen Award winner begins his third season as Inspector Albert Choi on this, the 20th season of Murdoch Mysteries. The historical sleuth series airs Monday nights ...
Send us Fan Mail We all know Jimmy Kimmel stands up for the First Amendment. Now there is also joy in Mellonville for he has done what not even Martin Scorsese could do -- complete a documentary about SCTV. Kimmel is the executive producer of SCTV: The Greatest Show You've Never Heard Of. The 90-minute documentary premieres Friday, October 30 on Netflix. I’ve had the good fortune to attend tapings of Jimmy Kimmel Live and to get to know this fearless firebrand of late night a little ove...
Send us Fan Mail My guest this episode is an award-winning Canadian I've been looking to welcome since I started podcasting seven years ago – Jayne Eastwood. Back when the fabled Toronto production of Godspell burst on the scene in 1972, it made stars of its incredible cast – including Gilda Radner, Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Victor Garber, Paul Shaffer, and Dave Thomas. Eastwood, in the opinion of Godspell doc director Nick Davis, was the biggest star of them all at the time. ("Y...
Send us Fan Mail It was 65 years ago this fall that The Dick Van Dyke Show premiered on CBS. The half hour sitcom was not an instant hit, struggled in the ratings hammocked between Marshal Dillon and Bachelor Father and was canceled at the end of its first season. Executive producer Sheldon Leonard refused to give up on the series, created by Carl Reiner, and went to New York to shop for another sponsor. He found a cigarette company that absorbed the cost of half the series and made a second ...
Send us Fan Mail Back in 1996 I wrote a TV Guide Canada cover story on a local actress then making a name for herself on North America’s No. 1 series – ER. Her name is Gloria Reuben, born in Toronto and raised in London, Ontario. When I reached her by phone in Los Angeles, she had to interrupt the call to accept a bottle of champagne sent from then NBC west coast president Don Ohlmeyer. He was congratulating Reuben and others in the cast – including George Clooney and Noah Wyle – for shatteri...
Send us Fan Mail As a TV beat reporter with an eye on the ratings, I never could understand why the Global television network walked away from their top-rated Canadian original hit Private Eyes in 2021. This breezy, stylish detective series, reminiscent of past romantic hits such as Hart to Hart, was vaulting well over the million mark in viewers. Fans couldn’t get enough of stars Jason Priestley and Cindy Sampson’s snappy repartee. Well, now it is five years later and, backed by producers Sh...
Send us Fan Mail Back in the ‘70s there was this hippie musical Godspell that ran for over a year in Toronto. The cast was mainly unknown at the time but wouldn’t stay that way for long. Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Gilda Radner, Andrea Martin, Dave Thomas, Victor Garber, Jayne Eastwood, Rudy Webb, and future Letterman bandleader Paul Shaffer were all in on the act. The story has been told bit by bit in other documentaries but never all in one place. Director Nick Davis has put it all tog...
Send us Fan Mail As George Harrison once said, all things must pass. Which brings us to the fifth and final season of Son of a Critch, the CBC sitcom based on the early life of Mark Critch (This Hour Has 22 Minutes). Last June as production wrapped I met with the four main castmates from the series -- Critch, Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, Claire Rankin and Malcolm McDowell -- at the CBC Broadcast Centre in Toronto. There we shared a conversation about how the series ends with young Mark (Ainsworth...
