The Tommy Banks Show is a Canadian variety and talk show television series which aired on CBC Television from 1971 to 1974.
This Edmonton-produced series was recorded in the Student Union Theatre at the University of Alberta, featuring guests from Canada and other nations. On one episode, the visitors were musician Bruce Cockburn and nutritionist Adelle Davis. The series was broadcast locally in Edmonton until it was distributed nationally on CBC in 1971. Some guests have included leaders from the Church of Satan and the Canadian operations of the Ku Klux Klan.[1]
