The Charles Perez Show is a syndicated daytime talk show hosted by former news anchor Charles Perez distributed by Tribune Entertainment, which ran from December 19, 1994[1] to January 26, 1996. Seeing low ratings, most likely due to the glut of syndicated talk shows which debuted during Perez's second season, Tribune chose to cancel the program in mid-season, ending with a 1.7 average.[2][3]
The show became a source of controversy in March 1995, when a segment aired which producers reportedly knowingly used an imposter to portray another guest's sister to fabricate a personal story for the benefit of the show. The woman whose name was used and her husband sued the show, which settled the lawsuit.[4]
