Comedians Errol Fabien and George Gonzalez are back together again. Together, they star in a new talk show called Salt & Fresh that will be shown on Gayelle The Channel every Thursday from 9.30 pm.

Fabien and Gonzalez became household names after they were teamed to host Mixed Nuts on CT Vibe 105FM.

After several months apart doing their solo projects, the two were brought together for this show by Lisa Guichard of GAT Production.

Guichard, executive producer of Salt & Fresh, said this programme was in the making for about a year.

She said the show promises to be like no other, and the unexpected should be expected.

Guichard was speaking at Thursday night’s launch of the programme at Club 51 degrees, Cipriani Boulevard, Port-of-Spain.

Guichard introduced invited guests to the team behind Salt & Fresh, which include Joel “Signal to Noise” Morris as the co-producer.

The first run featured two prominent doctors, Dr Jacqueline Sharpe, president of the Family Planning Association, and retired orthopaedic surgeon Dr Peter Gentle.

The topic was the use of condoms and how safe are they as a method of preventing HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.

Fabien and Gonzalez’ approach to discussing the topic was most certainly like no other.

They added a twist of humour to the discussion with Gentle and Sharpe, who held differing views to how one can contract the human papillomavirus (HPV).

Some of the guests said the programme was refreshing because the way the issues were presented. They said the style was very entertaining.

Guichard said everyone should expect more bacchanal in the upcoming segments.

Salt & Fresh will address topics such as politics, culture and current affairs.

Among the sponsors of this programme include the Trinidad Guardian, Carib, and Standard Distributors Ltd.
