This program aired on YTV in the late 80's. It started out as a Music Video program - YTV Hits hosted by Ron Oliver. It then became a, I believe, a hour long weekly show, entitled the Ron Oliver Show. This had music videos, as well as various comedy sketches and person on the street interviews. Eventually the show became entitled Olivers Twist.
Steve provies us this information on the progression of the show and on Ron Oliver:
YTV Hits, which later became the Ron Oliver
Show, which was same show, same host, same format, same Gantz puppet named "Ralph
the Happy Contest Goose", just I think YTV Hits started in September 1988
and ran until September 1989, when it was replaced by YTV Rec Room for a year,
before they brought YTV Hits back with the
newer title of the Ron Oliver Show, which ran for another year, and then YTV
took the clips with Ron Oliver from both incarnations of the show and packaged
them in a cheapie late-night show called "Oliver's Twist". Ron Oliver
has had a career mostly behind the camera, directing episodes of shows like
The Chris Isaak Show, Queer As Folk
(US), Are You Afraid of the Dark?, and, currently, Romeo (the kid sitcom with
rapper L'il Romeo, which is filmed in Vancouver). He was also one of the people
who provided the voice of Snit on the Zone during the P.J. Phil Guerrero years.
