The After Show is the blanket title for several talk shows currently or previously aired by the Canadian version of MTV, connected to reality series it airs such as Laguna Beach and The Hills. Essentially an extension of the channel's flagship program MTV Live, the typical After Show features two of the MTV Live hosts discussing the program immediately preceding with input from studio audience members, callers, emailers, and webcam participants.
Because the Canadian channel now known as MTV was originally approved as a talk channel, it is required to emphasize interactive talk programming. Companion talk shows are not required for all MTV reality shows, but in the case of "reality dramas" like The Hills, the After Shows help to contextualize the series in order to fit the channel's mandate.
The website for MTV (U.S.) has also aired separate short features for various series under the "After Show" banner. In August 2007 the American channel itself briefly simulcasted the After Show for The Hills.
