They’ve acknowledged this; our show literally brought them back.”
However, signing on Farr was a leap of faith for the company at the time.
The move didn’t seem to hurt the show’s popularity.
Otherfans questioned if the show was fakeand perceived her as “two-faced.”
Still, Farr believes that moving the show from Canada to the U.S. was the right move.

“I am still gobsmacked sometimes by the people who tell me that they are fans.
They’re incredibly successful, high-profile, busy people, and yet they watch my show.
That is gratifying and mystifying and extraordinary to me,” she noted to Vulture.
Fans include the likes of Hilary Clinton and reportedly other high-profile celebs.
