Christine McGlade Biography

Christine McGlade is one of the most popular and richest Actor who was born on August 25, 1963 in Canada. Although McGlade generally performed herself on The show, she did have times that she played different characters. In the 1981 season , she was the old lady at the cinema the role was created from Ruth Buzzi on Whatever Turns You On In that same episode, she reprised Buzzi’s character as Miss Take who was the secretary to Lye’s comical “network president”, L. Nickelson Dime III. On the “Fairy Tales” episode in 1986, she was the wicked step-sisters. In 1989, she had an appearance, but without speaking in a sketch in the classroom at the conclusion of “Age” episode, along with fellow cast members Alasdair Gillis as well as Kevin Kubusheskie.

As hostess, McGlade played the role of straight man, frequently dealing with annoyances and interruptions from chatty sidekick Lisa Ruddy, affectionately nicknamed “Motormouth” and stage director Ross Ewich (Les Lye). Ross enjoyed putting the hapless McGlade in unfortunate situations, which often resulted in her being green-slimed (after being tricked into saying the trigger phrase, “I don’t know”), pied, or watered. However, she was known to turn the tables on him every so often. In her interactions with Ross, she was often depicted as a sort of ombudsman or representative for her fellow cast members, articulating their concerns and speaking eloquently on the unfairness of studio policy; often the episode in question would turn, at least in part, on her efforts to persuade him to change that policy in the cast’s favor – as in “Holidays” (1984), in which she takes the lead in attempting to convince him that there ought to be a “holiday for actors” (and furthermore that the cast members do indeed fall into that category), and “Marketing” (1984), in which she spearheads an effort to find something to “merchandise” so that the show can remain on the air. Ruddy’s on-screen relationship with McGlade veered back and forth between antagonism and cooperation, quite often within the same episode; however, McGlade later wrote that the two “were definitely friends off cam[era], even though she was quite a bit younger than me.”

On YCDTOTV, McGlade was most frequently seen on the familiar blue link set, talking directly to the audience and lecturing on the theme of each program. Generally, she did not appear in as many of the comedy sketches taped off the link set as her fellow cast members, and, though she often took part in the school-bus, classroom, living-room, Barth’s Burgery and Blip’s Arkaid sketches, she appeared only three times before the firing squad (all in 1984), and twice as the prisoner chained to the wall of the dungeon (both in 1979). During the live, local, hour-long episodes of YCDTOTV aired on CJOH in 1979 and 1981, she often introduced the live contest segments and music videos. In later years, after the show was converted into a half-hour program devoted exclusively to comedy, McGlade became the focal point of many of the episodes’ story lines. Several notable comedy examples include “Vacations” (1982), in which she attempts to enjoy some time off on the beach, only to find that the show’s cast and crew have followed her there with the intention of shooting an episode; “Rumors” (1983), in which word spreads throughout the cast that she is about to be fired from her hosting position; “Medicine” (1983), in which she breaks her leg and is forced to host the entire episode wearing a cast; “Jealousy” (1984), in which she receives a raise and incurs the ire of her fellow cast members; and “Friends” (1984), in which she learns that her mother has been paying her castmates to be friends with her, and finds herself suddenly friendless when that month’s payment fails to arrive.

Although they were not “official” cast members, certain members of the McGlade family have also appeared on the show . For instance, her father’s role on “Work, Work, Work” (1981) and her younger brother and sister as part of “Cosmetics” (1982). She was the younger sibling. Lisa actually was a younger version of McGlade herself on a sketch of detention, and her brother, Michael was included in an illustration in the office of a doctor where he was brought in with stomach cramps after having eaten all of her makeup. Lisa McGlade made a few more appearances as a cameo in sketches in the classroom throughout in 1985.

In total, McGlade appeared in ninety-one episodes of YCDTOTV hosting eighty-nine. (She did make an guest appearance on 1979’s Episode Five, and her first appearance on the show was a role for “Age”.) As for the cast of the show, only Lye (all of 144 shows) along with Abby Hagyard (113) appeared in more episodes.

Throughout all of the 1982 season of YCDTOTV, McGlade wore a wig. After the 1981 season was over, she cut her trademark curly dark hair short and dyed it in a punk style. (McGlade later wrote that she had cut her hair at the behest of Roger Price, who wanted her to “look different” for a pilot he was producing for Disney called Bear Rapids – which Disney ultimately declined to purchase – and that the dye job was undertaken only after she had already been asked to wear a wig on the set of YCDTOTV for the sake of continuity.) In most of her scenes in 1982, she wore a wig of human hair that somewhat resembled the hairdo she had worn in 1981. However, since she could not get that human hair wig slimed or watered, for scenes involving messy or wet slapstick (including some scenes in which she was not the one to be slimed or watered), McGlade had to wear a curly synthetic wig. McGlade later referred to the period as “the much-hated (by me) wig years”, and, while noting that she did not personally remember the incident, related a story told to her by others which involved her attempting to run over one of the wigs in the studio parking lot with her motorcycle. McGlade was allowed to host Something Else, a Price-created game/variety show which also aired on CJOH in 1982, without the wig; for this reason, there are a number of videos and photographs in circulation from this period which show her with short, dyed hair. By 1983 McGlade’s natural hair had grown back, and there was no longer a need for a wig.
