Sue Johanson’s ever-popular Sunday Night Sex Show will soon stop production, a W network spokesperson confirmed Monday.

No reasons were given for the cancellation, nor has a date been set for the airing of the last episode.

However, Johanson will continue taping the U.S. equivalent of her call-in show, which began airing on the Oxygen network in 2002.

The acerbic therapist, grandmother, former nurse and author of three books got her start on a Toronto radio station in 1984, then moved to WTN (later re-branded as W) in 1996.

She has been a well-received guest on U.S. talk shows such as The View and The Late Show with David Letterman. Her program also airs in Brazil with Portugese subtitles.

Before she hit it big, Johanson worked at the Don Mills Birth Control Clinic as a clinic co-ordinator. She began teaching sex and sexuality in schools in 1974, and continues to lecture thousands of post-secondary students every year.

She was inducted into the Janssen-Ortho Hall of Fame in 1997 as a pioneer in the field of sex education, and in 2001, she was appointed to the Order of Canada.
