Steven and Chris is a Canadian television talk show, which debuted on CBC Television on January 14, 2008. The show is hosted by Steven Sabados and Chris Hyndman, formerly of the home renovation show Designer Guys, who host celebrity guests and talk about topics ranging from entertainment, cooking, fashion, health and home decor.[1]

Sabados and Hyndman are both openly gay.[2] Despite being a longtime couple off-screen, they did not publicly acknowledge their relationship until 2008.[3]

On March 10, 2009, CBC announced that the show was put on hiatus due to the network's budget cuts. It concluded on April 15, 2009 and continued in reruns in its usual timeslot.[4]

The show returned on December 10, 2009 with a prime time holiday special, and regular new episodes began on January 4, 2010.[5]

The show debuted in syndication in the United States through Program Partners in the fall of 2010.[6] It began airing exclusively on Live Well Network in fall 2011.[7]
