Andrea Bain has been named the new full-time co-host of CTV daytime talk series The Social.
The veteran television personality, whose hosts include CBC’s The Goods, was previously a guest presenter and is now a full-time presenter.
The announcement was made on Monday’s episode of The Social by outgoing host Elaine “Lainey” Lui, who previously announced she was leaving to focus full-time on her gossip blog and entertainment news show Etalk.
Bain previously worked as a reporter and host at CTV and as an entertainment journalist at Los Angeles-based television network Reelzchannel.
In a Bell Media press release, she says she’s excited to bring a “different perspective” to the talk show’s analysis of breaking news and that the team doesn’t shy away from complicated subjects.
The show will also be co-led by Melissa Grelo, Cynthia Loyst and correspondent Jess Allen. It has been on the air for more than 10 years.
This report from The Canadian Press was first published on August 14, 2023.
