2 unusual facts about Call for Help


Call for Help

Taped in Toronto, Ontario, a new version of Call for Help made its G4techTV Canada debut on August 16, 2004, and quickly became the channel's highest rated series.

In 2001, Laporte decided to focus solely on another TechTV program, The Screen Savers, and Becky Worley became the lead Call for Help host (briefly joined by Scott Herriott as co-host).

Natalie Teeger

This knowledge proves useful later, as when Monk and Natalie are taken hostage by "Honest" Jake Phillips, with no form of communication to the outside world to call for help available, Natalie lights some rags, puts them in the fireplace, and opens and closes the flue to emit smoke signals that Stottlemeyer and Disher (who are a few blocks away) notice and interpret as Morse for "SOS" (although Randy almost misinterprets the signals as a soda advertisement).

Stephen Stanko

Stanko was convicted, after a failed insanity defense, of strangling his girlfriend Laura Ling, 43, the librarian who lived with him outside Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, shooting Henry Lee Turner, 74, and sexually assaulting and stabbing Ling's teenage daughter, who survived and made the 911 call for help.
