Vicki Frances Gabereau is a Canadian radio and television personality. Most recently she hosted an eponymously titled afternoon talk show on CTV Television Network, which wrapped up production on April 8, 2005 after eight seasons. She now makes regular appearances on the Knowledge Network for its fundraising. Born Vicki Filion in Vancouver, British Columbia, she was raised in a home surrounded by media personalities. Her father's best friend, author Pierre Berton was influential in her life, exposing Vicki to the greatest intellectuals and stars of the 1950s and 60s. Gabereau moved to Toronto at age 18 for university. While there she married Michel Gabereau and worked a variety of jobs, including as a professional clown. In that capacity, she ran for Mayor of Toronto in the 1974 municipal election under the pseudonym Rosy Sunshine. She then worked in radio, hosting her first talk show for a station in Brampton, Ontario. She later joined the CBC as an archivist, and became host of that network's Variety Tonight in 1981. In 1985, she became host of Gabereau, a two-hour daily interview show on CBC Radio. [More at Wikipedia]
