Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: 'There's so much on television that is boring,' says Roy Bonisteel. 'Man Alive makes you stop in your tracks. It tells you 'you have a responsibility'. That's why it has such high ratings.' He's been host of the show for 19 years and says, 'I'm just as excited about the show today as the day I started.'
