Its debut episode was broadcast the day after Domnion Day and featured Newfoundland premier Joey Smallwood plus a segment in which Canadian citizens were challenged by questions posed to propspective immigrants at Canadian citizenship court. Series regular included Henry Cuesta and his trio. The series was created as an entertaining counterpart to The Public Eye.
The series did not continue into the regular season, nor did proposals to establish a similar local late night show for CBLT Toronto, The Local Eye.
