When TV viewers tune into Entertainment Tonight Canada these days, they might see a Goldendoodle dog named Murphy pop into the picture, or an excitable young child.
And instead of speaking from the slick set, the on-air talent are now in their own homes, where they do their own hair, makeup and wardrobe.
Such is the scenario for several Canadian daily or weekly TV programs forging ahead during the COVID-19 crisis, with some hosts working from their abodes while crews stitch the show together remotely or in-studio.
ET Canada host Cheryl Hickey co-anchored Monday’s first at-home episode on Global from the master bedroom of the Toronto home she lives in with her husband and two young children.
