Canada After Dark
|
Canada After Dark was Canada's first late-night comedy/variety talk show. It was hosted by Paul Soles and aired on the CBC from September 18, 1978 to January 26, 1979.
The show was repackaged from the failed, more informational 90 Minutes Live. Executive Producer Alex Frame and Producer Bob Ennis decided to try a show that would be comparable to The Tonight Show instead, changing the name of the show to Canada After Dark and replacing host Peter Gzowski with veteran comedic actor Soles. The new show would last for less than half a season.
