The Charles Perez Show is an American first-run syndicated talk show that was hosted by Charles Perez. The show ran for two seasons from December 12, 1994, to January 26, 1996. It featured panel discussions with everyday people, who discussed their personal experiences over a given topic. Perez moderated these discussions and he encouraged audience interaction. The show was taped at the CBS Broadcast Center.
The show was produced and distributed by Tribune Entertainment. It was conceived by Perez, who was influenced by television presenters Phil Donahue and Oprah Winfrey. The show received a six-week trial run prior to its national launch in March 1995. It received a mixed reception from television critics, who praised Perez's charisma but criticized the show's topic selection. The show premiered to modest ratings, which dwindled over its run. It was canceled in January 1996. The show experienced minor controversy in 1995 after an actor was used to portray a guest's sister; the sister sued the show, with the lawsuit settled out of court.
