Greg: I know that before there
was Whatever Turns You On there was You
Can't Do That On Television. How did you find out
about the show?
Kevin: From YCDTOTV.
Greg: How many episodes of YCDTOTV’s 79 season were in in? Did
you do the locker jokes?
Kevin: I think I was 2 or 3. I did do
locker jokes.
 Greg: Now only a handful of
people got into WTYO. Did Roger Price like
your work in YCDTOTV so he asked you to be in
WTYO?
Kevin: Yes.
Greg: What was it like doing the pilot
episode of that show in May?
Kevin: It was exciting.
Greg: What was your reaction
that you were going to have Ruth Buzzi playing
the female adult characters in the skits?
Kevin: We were happy to have a famous
comedian working with us.
Greg: Do you ever see her
around?
Kevin: While we were filming,
she was around.
Greg: Were you excited that you were
going to do a prime time series after the pilot
won CTV to make a series in the
fall?
Kevin: Yes.
Greg: Did the show ever air in the U.S.?
Kevin: I don't know.
Greg:
What memorable experiences did you have doing the
show?
Kevin: It was fun when the band's came.
Greg:
Out of all the comedy skits like the classroom,
living room, dome intro’s and cafeteria
which one did you enjoy doing the most?
Kevin: I liked the living room
because Les Lye was so funny.
Greg: Who did you get along with the most
in the show?
Kevin: Christine and Jonathan.
Greg: Were you a big fan of any of the
musical guests on that show?
Kevin: I liked Trooper and Max
Webster.
Greg:
In Boss Helal, you introduced the Kevin Page Band
but they never made it big. Did you know if they
ever released an album or performed at any local
gigs?
Kevin: I never heard from them
again.
Greg: I understand that you were a big
fan of the group Rush and you wore a T-shirt of
them in the Lottery episode. Was that shirt
yours?
Kevin: Yes.
 Greg: I also remembered you as
the son of Dracula in Repeats as Les Lye played
your father. Any memorable experiences on set of
those skits?
Kevin: No, I hardly remember that.
Greg:
The one I thought you were great in was playing
the Don’t Bee in a lost episode called
Educational Programming as Christine played the
Nanny and you had a pillow stinger that you
whacked people with. What was it like playing
that part?
Kevin: Fun.
Greg: Did you get any feedback from
friends, family or viewers doing that? I thought
you were a natural character playing that part.
Kevin: People seemed to like watching a
ranting maniacal bee.
Greg: Do you know if there was a musical
guest during that episode? I saw it air on YTV
in 1988 when the channel was new and
couldn’t remember. If so what was the name
of the group?
Kevin: I can't remember.
Greg: Do you have a copy of that
show? It was my favourite one and feel completely
lost without it as others would like to see it
too and the same with the fans.
Kevin: No I don’t. If you get one,
let me know.
Greg: I also remember another
missing episode where you were going to try out
for a cereal commercial and wore a white suit and
a hat (Similar costume to the one in the
Christmas episode) dancing in the dome area but
they said you were too tall so Kevin Schenk was
the kid doing the cereal commercial. Do you
remember anything from that episode?
Kevin: No.
 Greg: Also in the last episode
before the show was axed was called Kevin Somers
Rock Star. You had a guitar but you didn’t
have a guitar strap to wrap around you. Was it
hard holding the guitar when your character made
out that you were going to play it?
Kevin: Not too hard.
Greg:
Did you ask the producers what the reason was for
not having a strap?
Kevin: I never thought about it.
Greg:
A skit in that one I got a kick out of was when
Ruth Buzzi’s character Miss Fidt was tied up
and gagged in the classroom as well as when you
were going to play and the bell rang so everyone
ran out. Was there any outtakes of those two?
Kevin: I'm not sure.
Greg: Out of all the episodes
you performed in WTYO which one will you always
remember doing?
Kevin: The Don't Bee was fun.
Greg:
Were you upset when WTYO was axed as it was a very
good show but not good for a primetime slot?
Kevin: We were all a little sad.
 Greg: When you were told that YCDTOTV was going to re-air this
time as a primetime show but you were only going
to be taking turns with Jono doing only two skits
as it was the dungeon and fire execution ones due
to your age did this disappoint you as you were
one of the key members in WTYO and not in the 81 season
of YCDTOTV?
Kevin: It was time to move on. I would
have felt silly if I stayed too long.
Greg:
After the 81 season finished both you and Jono
got the boot along with the rest of the WTYO members except for
Christine McGlade and Lisa Ruddy. During this
time were you just deciding to finish up your
grad year at school?
Kevin: I just kept going to school.
Greg:
I understand you did a pilot with Christine and
Jono called Bear Rapids but did you do any more
acting gigs like Rodney Helal did the odd one now
and then since you had many fans that liked you
in WTYO?
Kevin: No, I did nothing else.
Greg:What
are you doing today?
Kevin: I’m a teacher and writer. I
write for The Women’s Post.
Greg: Have you thought of returning to do
the odd acting gig if a show like WTYO came up? I think
you’d still have the knack for it.
Kevin: No, it is too competitive. If I
was handed a job I would take it, though.
