Mulroney named host of CTV’s Canuck Idol
Ben Mulroney has been named host of CTV’s new music/reality spinoff, Canadian Idol.
The host of CTV’s eTalk Daily, fast becoming this year’s Carla Collins, greeted 2,500 contestants in Vancouver yesterday who were taking part in the second regional audition. Future stops for pop-star wanabees between the ages of 18-25 include Calgary (April 27), Montreal (May 3), Ottawa (May 7), Halifax (May 13) St. John’s (May 21) and Toronto (May 25). Details are at idol.ctv.ca.
CTV also announced yesterday that Ottawa comedian Jon Dore and music reporter Tanya Kim have joined Canadian Idol as special correspondents.
Sass Jordan is among the four-member, Canadian judging panel that will try to make viewers forget all about Simon Cowell and those other American Idol bad guys. Canadian Idol is set to begin in June.
