Variety Tonight was a CBC Radio show which aired from 1980 until 1985 in the 8–10 p.m. timeslot.[1] It was a nightly series featuring jazz and pop music as well as trivia games, book and movie reviews, comedy segments and interviews.[2]
The program was created by producer Danny Finkleman ,[2] but he was let go from the program in December 1980.[3] It was hosted by David Cole in its first season,[4] followed by Vicki Gabereau for the remainder of its run.[5]
In the show's first season, it hired Don Novello , in character as Father Guido Sarducci , to serve as a correspondent covering the 1980 United States presidential election .[6]
Gabereau won an ACTRA Award for Best Radio Host or Interviewer at the 13th ACTRA Awards in 1984.[7] She was also nominated, but did not win, at the 12th ACTRA Awards in 1983,[8] and at the 14th ACTRA Awards in 1985.[9]
After the program's cancellation, Gabereau continued in the same time slot as host of the new interview series Gabereau in the 1985-86 season.[10] In January 1986 she announced that she would be leaving the show at the end of the season to pursue other interests;[11] she was ultimately convinced to change her mind and remain with the network, although her show moved to a weekly airing on Saturdays and its nightly time slot was taken over by Stan Carew 's new Prime Time .[12]
