Myles From Home: David Myles on YouTube Live - A Not So Late Night Talk Show with Alan Doyle

Myles From Home: David Myles on YouTube Live - A Not So Late Night Talk Show with Alan Doyle presented by Frye Festival

About the show:
"I love talking with people. Anyone who knows me knows this. It’s my fuel. I find people so interesting. My kids hate it. Wherever we go, there I am having a big chat with someone, laughing, having a blast while they’re yanking on my pant leg to get that ice cream I promised them. Anyway, I’ve decided to go pro with it. I’m stepping into the world of late-night talk shows, but this one’s a NOT SO LATE-NIGHT TALK SHOW. And it’s gonna be here, on YouTube Live. I’m pumped about it. This is a dream for me. For years, I’ve talked about wanting to have a show that combined Oprah with The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour.
Welcome everyone, sing a song, greet the guest, chat for a while, have them play a song and then, the sweet ol’ goodnight. Nothing like it when it’s done well. And because, in our case, we’ll be broadcasting live, you can get in on the action by commenting and asking questions, etc. It’s going to be called "MYLES FROM HOME: ON YOUTUBE LIVE - A NOT SO LATE NIGHT TALK SHOW". (I had to include the description cause it makes me smile every time.)

Is there a more sociable province than Newfoundland and Labrador? Or anywhere in Canada with a greater reputation for coming to the rescue of those in need?
At this time of Covid, singer, songwriter and bestselling author Alan Doyle is feeling everyone's pain. Off the road and spending more days at home than he has since he was a child hawking cod tongues on the wharfs of Petty Harbour, he misses the crowds and companionship of performing across the country and beyond. But most of all he misses the cheery clamour of pubs in his hometown, where one yarn follows another so quickly "you have to be as ready as an Olympian at the start line to get your tale in before someone is well into theirs already." We're all experiencing our own version of that deprivation, and Alan, one of Newfoundland's finest storytellers, wants to offer a little balm.
All Together Now is a gathering in book form--a virtual Newfoundland pub. There are adventures in foreign lands, including an apparently filthy singalong in Polish (well, he would have sung along if he'd understood the language), a real-life ghost story involving an elderly neighbour, a red convertible and a clown horn, a potted history of his social drinking, and heartwarming reminiscences from another past world, childhood--all designed to put a smile on the faces of the isolated-addled.
Alan Doyle has never been in better form--nor more welcome. As he says about this troubling time: "We get through it. We do what has to be done. Then, we celebrate. With the best of them."
