Shirley Solomon

Shirley Solomon is an award-winning Canadian television talk show host.

She hosted "The Shirley Show", a daily afternoon talk show on CTV. It was syndicated to several major-market American television stations - the first and only Canadian talk show to be syndicated in the U.S. and sold internationally.

The show had a large studio audience, panel discussions, and dealt with complex social, political and criminal justice issues. Solomon also interviewed many A-list movie stars and high-profile music talent such as Celine Dion. She was admired and respected by critics and viewers alike for her intelligence, fearlessness, compassion, and her ability to handle complex issues. "The Shirley Show" still enjoys the distinction of being the highest-rated Canadian-produced daytime show in the history of Canadian television. After almost a decade of unparalleled success, the program ended in 1997. Solomon continues to write, produce and host on a freelance basis for a variety of productions, both in Canada and the U.S.
