A Tight 45 with Tabari McCoy – Episode 015 – Christine McGlade of You Can't Do That on Television

A Tight 45 with Tabari McCoy

She finished a 10-year stint as Director of Interactive at TVOntario and an 18-month stint as the Director of Interactive at Q Media Solutions to start her own company, Analytical Engine Interactive Inc. in her native Canada.
But if you grew up in the 1980s, you likely know Christine McGlade for an entirely different reason altogether – and if you say "I don't know" where I know that name from, you should prepare to be slimed.
A child actor who never had a desire to be one by her own admission, McGlade – nicknamed "Moose" – was the original host of You Can't Do That on Television (YCDTOT), the first kid-based sketched show on Nickelodeon. (Yes, even before All That .... Or the All That reboot currently airing on the network.) Airing on the network from 1979-1990, the show featuring a number of recurring bits including its Laff In-style locker room jokes, the firing squad, the less-than-hygienic Barth's Burgers and of course, the infamous green slime. Now working in an entirely different industry than the one that made her famous, McGlade's entrepreneurial nature has seen her use her ingenuity to make her own career path ...
On this episode, McGlade talks with Tabari about what she's been doing since she left TV behind, Canada's great entertainment ambassadors, her love of math, answers all (or at the very least, many) of the questions you have about YCDTOT ... And an unexpected thing the two of them have in common.
