major film role, in Batman Forever, because of a Speakers Corner appearance; although he didn't get the role, the contacts and experience he gained from the audition opened up other opportunities for him. In later years, street entertainer Zanta used both Speakers Corner and performances outside the streetfront studio of Citytv's Breakfast Television as a springboard to local notoriety. The Devil's Advocates, a comedy duo who presented themselves as devil-horned spokesmen for Satan, became a staple of the program with a recurring routine in which they responded to and satirized other Speakers Corner clips that had aired in the previous week. The Devil's Advocates, Second City alumni Albert Howell and Andrew Currie, became so popular that at least one special episode of the series was devoted entirely to their clips. For part of their stint on the series, Harry, a senior citizen who disliked their style of comedy, would regularly record videos criticizing them, which turned into an ongoing war of words between him and the Advocates. Howell and Currie stopped appearing regularly on Speakers Corner when they were given their own show, Improv Heaven and Hell, on The Comedy Network in 1998. Some established celebrities, including Madonna, Harrison Ford, Mike Myers and Jean Chrétien, also recorded Speaker's Corner segments. Some recorded segments were too extreme for broadcast, including sexual or scatological situations, although some such segments were screened as entertainment at private staff parties. On at least a few occasions, CHUM staffers also used the booth as a way to go over their own manager's head with a request for a pay raise or a promotion. Versions of the show began on other regional CHUM-owned television stations such as CHRO in Ottawa and CFPL in London. Citytv Bogotá (which licensed the brand from CHUM) also launched its own Speaker's Corner booth called Citycapsula when it signed on in 1999; unlike the Canadian versions, Citycapsula is free. An Alberta version, Speakers Corner Alberta, aired on Access TV from October 2003 until April 2008. In the fall of 2006 the Citytv stations in Calgary and Edmonton started airing the AccessTV Speaker's Corner Alberta as they were both owned by CHUM. Speakers Corner Alberta was cancelled in April 2008 due to changes in both companies. A French version of Speakers Corner, called VoxPop, operated at MusiquePlus in Montreal. It operated from the early 1990s until the early 2000s. An American version was
