What happens

The Dini Petty Show is a Canadian daytime television talk show, which aired on stations affiliated with the Baton Broadcasting System from 1989 to 1999. It originated from the BBS flagship station, Toronto's CFTO-TV. Hosted by Dini Petty, the program mixed lifestyle features and interviews with celebrity guests. Petty, a host and broadcaster based in Toronto, left the CITY-TV talk show CityLine to headline the show in 1989. Directed by Randy Gulliver, the show reflected popular culture in Canada in the 1990s, featuring interviews with celebrities, actors, authors, singers and performers, as well as politicians, policy advocates and local celebrities. The show underwent a re-development in late 1994. In 1999, Dini Petty agreed to only shoot "tops and tails" to introduce repackaged retrospective segments of previous episodes to be aired instead of new material. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
