Hudson Williams, Zach Galifianakis & Jay Baruchel Set For ‘The Assembly’ Season 2 At Canada’s CBC
CBC’s Canadian version of *The Assembly* will return for a second season, bringing six well-known guests before autistic and neurodivergent interviewers. The format gives the interviewers the chance to ask celebrities anything, offering a different approach to the traditional talk show.
Guests include Hudson Williams, Zach Galifianakis, Jay Baruchel, Olympic champion Marie-Philip Poulin, Ashley Callingbull and singer-songwriter Lights. The six-part season premieres on CBC Gem and CBC TV on 1 November at 9pm ET, with extended “Producer’s Cuts” available on CBC Gem from 9am that day; returning interviewers will be joined by new participants.

The Assembly is a television interview format in which autistic and other neurodivergent people interview public figures. It began in Australia and has since been adapted in several countries, including Canada.
Unlike a conventional celebrity chat show, the format gives interviewers room to ask direct questions on subjects they choose. The guests are people known from film, television, music and sport, and the interviewers include both returning participants and newcomers.
