The only Christmas episode of ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS aired this week in 1955.

Oscar winner Barry Fitzgerald (GOING MY WAY, THE QUIET MAN) stars as a parolee forced to work as a department store Santa.

Based on a story by Margaret Cousins. So good I wish it were a feature film. #ChristmasMovies

One year later Allan Blye, Winnipeg-born executive producer of The Smothers Comedy Hour, became CTV's most prolific in-house producer.

Six years later David Steinberg hosted his own program on CTV featuring five unknown actors: John Candy, Martin Short, Joe Flaherty, Dave Thomas and Andrea Martin.

1969.

CBS pulled the final Smothers Brothers episode featuring David Steinberg, but it aired without controversy on CTV in Canada.

Tommy Smothers flew to Toronto and invited the media to watch it on CTV in his Yorkville hotel room.

Read all about it in my new book, to be released in Nov 2026.

It's always a good idea to reach out and say hi to friends or family who are living alone, or are isolated in some way.
But it's especially important at this time of year.
So use this phone in your hand right now to call or text someone you know who might need a lift.
Pass it on.
