What happens

Talk About is a game show produced in Canada by CBC Television, which bears some similarities to the board game Outburst. Originally produced by CBC for the 1988–89 season, it was later picked up for American television syndication, airing from September 18, 1989, to March 16, 1990, with repeats later airing on the USA Network from June 28 to December 31, 1993; on GameTV from January 3, 2011, to September 2015; from July 1, 2019, to September 12, 2021; and since February 28, 2022; and on Buzzr starting May 30, 2022. Taped at stage 40 at the CBC Vancouver studios via local station CBUT in Vancouver, British Columbia, the show was hosted by Wayne Cox with local radio personality Dean Hill as announcer, while Doc Harris (announcer on Cox's previous show Second Honeymoon) filled in for Hill during Season 1. During its original run on CBC, a concurrent prime time edition titled Celebrity Talk About was also added, which premiered on January 10, 1989. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
