Madison Tevlin is a Canadian actress and broadcaster.[1] She is most noted for her 2022 CBC Gem talk show Who Do You Think I Am?, for which she received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Host in a Talk Show or Entertainment Series at the 11th Canadian Screen Awards in 2023, and as a star of the 2023 film Champions.[2]
Tevlin, who has Down syndrome, first attracted widespread attention in 2015 when a video of her singing John Legend's "All of Me" went viral on the internet, even attracting attention from Legend himself.[3] She subsequently had guest acting roles in the television series Mr. D and Lost & Found Music Studios.[4]
She has stated that one of her key goals is to challenge misunderstandings, by presenting her own story as a person who still has passions, talents and goals to pursue, and is capable of much more than people typically expect of her based on her disability.[5] In Who Do You Think I Am?, Tevlin interviews guests who have also experienced prejudice and misrepresentation around a variety of issues;[1] guests on the show have included comedian Ann Pornel, singer Tyler Shaw, actor Lane Webber, drag performer Juice Boxx, and indigenous advocate Laura Vukson.
