Information About

Distinguished Artists




Hosted by Emmy Award -winning writer Lorne Frohman , this interview series is filmed in front of an audience at Assembly Hall, near Humber College Lakeshore Campus. The format focuses around a main interview, then allowing the primarily student audience to ask questions in the time following the main segment (in a style similar to the American program Inside The Actors Studio ).

''Distinguished Artists'' is in fact the first network television show produced entirely by students of a college or university . Co-produced with TVO, the Humber School of Media Studies & Information Technology created, produced, wrote, shot and edited the series. Music students from the Humber School of Creative and Performing Arts wrote, arranged, and performed the series' theme song.

Episodes debut at 4 pm Saturdays on TVOntario, airing again the next day. The series will also air in the 2005-2006 season on CHUM-owned television station BookTelevision .

Note: As of 2006, the show is no longer aired on TVO, and airs only on BookTelevision and Canadian Learning Television .
