This was another of those cheap Glen-Warren shows done for the Canadian Television Network. This, as well as many others of the day, could easily rate as the least original, least entertaining shows in television history.
The concept? A three-ring circus set in the middle of the Agincourt, Ontario studios (which also housed CFTO-TV, CTV's flagship station) featuring some cheesy circus acts. Knowing CTV's budget, said acts were probably handsomely rewarded with something really worthwhile, like tickets to a taping of Headline Hunters, or free bread and water from the studio commissary.
The most memorable host (if there was ever such a thing) was Pierre Lalonde, a French-Canadian in name only. Any accent he possessed was "trained" out of his voice. The presence of Billy Van clearly showed that the poor man needed some serious dough. I think its safe to say he didn't do "Circus" for artistic reasons.
