The Charles Perez Show is an American first-run syndicated talk show hosted by news reporter Charles Perez. Taped in Chicago, Illinois, the show ran for two seasons from December 19, 1994, to January 26, 1996.
Reception
Seeing low ratings, most likely due to the glut of syndicated talk shows which debuted during Perez's second season, Tribune chose to cancel the program in mid-season, ending with a 1.7 average.[1]
On January 2, 1996, The Charles Perez Show was cancelled by Tribune Entertainment.[2]
Controversy
The show became a source of controversy in March 1995, when a segment aired which producers reportedly knowingly used an imposter to portray another guest's sister to fabricate a personal story for the benefit of the show. The woman whose name was used and her husband sued the show, which settled the lawsuit.[3]
