Kensington Market was the site of the Canadian television sitcom King of Kensington] which aired on CBC Television from 1975 to 1980 and starred Al Waxman, who was himself born in the neighbourhood. A life-size statue of Al Waxman was erected following his death in 2001, and depicts him casually standing between two park benches as if to converse with anyone sitting there.
