Canada\u2019s newest late night talk show, Canadian Jewish TV<\/em> (CJTV<\/em>), kicks off Oct. 1 on OMNI 1. Hosted by poet Ieden Wall, the show will feature interviews and performances from some of Canada\u2019s most notable Jewish figures.<\/p>\n

Canadian producer Robert Lantos said late night fans across Ontario, in British Columbia and in the Atlantic provinces can expect a unique viewing experience. \u201cLate Night shows are usually hosted by actors and comedians but very rarely do we see a poet get the job,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Wall is also a journalist, host and media producer, based in Toronto. He burst onto the scene in the 1990s with his reality\/comedy series called The Dream Chaser<\/em>. Since then, he has kept busy producing documentaries, medical marketing videos and commercials for his own production company. His first collection of spoken-word films aired in Australia and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

In keeping with Wall\u2019s background, CJTV<\/em> will also feature a spoken-word short-film series based on new poems from Wall\u2019s upcoming book, The Wisdom of the Wall 2<\/em>. His first book of poetry, Wisdom of the Wall<\/em>, has sold more than 30,000 copies.<\/p>\n

With the loss of established national Jewish media like the Canadian Jewish News<\/em>, CJTV<\/em> is aiming to fill the void with a \u201ctraditional\u201d-style Jewish show that avoids getting hung up on extreme sides of the political spectrum.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you are doing a show like this, you can\u2019t please everybody, so my objective with CJTV<\/em> is to do a show that my bubbe would be proud of,\u201d said Wall. \u201cMy Bubby Bella escaped Eastern Europe before the Holocaust, but not without her share of violent antisemitism. She was not Orthodox in the pure sense, but she lit the Shabbos candles and taught us all to be proud of our Jewish heritage. This show is for her.\u201d<\/p>\n

A weekly half-hour show, CJTV<\/em> will celebrate the contributions that Jews have made to art, history and culture in Canada\u2019s largest city and in all cities across the country. The guest lineup for Season 1 is a \u201cwho\u2019s who\u201d of the Canadian media and entertainment industry, including Lantos, Paul Godfrey, Mark Breslin, Dan Shulman, Libby Znaimer and Heather Reisman, as well as an appearance by former prime minister Stephen Harper.<\/p>\n

CJTV<\/em> makes its season debut on Oct. 1 across Ontario. For more about the show, visit cjtv.ca<\/a>. For more information about viewing times in British Columbia, visit omnitv.ca\/bc\/en<\/a> next month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
