Bergen Hits the Streets with Oxygen
By Multi Channel News Staff -- Multichannel News, 5/7/2002 7:00:00 AM
Actress Candice Bergen steps out of the studio and takes her perspective to the streets when she hosts Oxygen's new series, Candice Checks It Out, premiering this fall, the network said.
The series -- which taps into current trends and explores unfamiliar territory -- is an evolution of Bergen's first Oxygen series, Exhale with Candice Bergen.
Candice Checks It Out is a field-based, half-hour weekly series, with each episode focusing on a single universal subject.
Bergen will visit noncelebrities in their own environments, including a hip-hop DJ who demonstrates 'spinning,' a work-at-home phone-sex operator and a downtown design team that shows off its futuristic fashions.
Bergen even brings her own dogs along for a conversation with a pet psychic.
'After the success of Exhale, Candice moved to New York and wanted to get out of the studio to explore new territory from a creative standpoint,' Linda Corradina, the show's executive producer, said in a prepared statement.
'This new series will showcase her natural curiosity and outgoing personality,' Corradina added. 'Viewers will appreciate her frankness as she asks the questions we all wish we had the nerve to ask.'
Exhale was a nightly, hour-long talk show.
Corradina also serves as executive producer for Oxygen's new documentary series, The Life Makeover Project with Cheryl Richardson.
