APTN eyeing Candy

APTN is eyeing a new talk show, following a pilot taping earlier this month of The Candy Show. Hosted by Candy Palmater, the late-night show shot a pilot earlier this month in Halifax, putting the comedian and activist on screen with sketch comic Réjean Cournoyer, bluesman Charlie A’Court, a local belly dancer and a tattoo artist. The project comes from Halifax-based Pink Dog Productions, and is the second late-nighter that has recently tried its luck in Halifax, following the pilot for Live! at 25:00 from Mill Reef Productions, which shot in June for CBC.
