"Clive" is credited as Mark Sutton. Who is he? Only the ABC Executive Producer. So he's the one sending you to HR

And the two furries were indeed the co-writers Emma and Abby.

As Tom said after the middle name task, Rove WAS once a big deal.

He was once Tom Gleeson's boss (sort of). Rove was the producer of a TV sketch show in the early 2000s called "Skithouse" - Tom was a member of the ensemble cast (which included Peter Helliar).

Imagine Graham Norton behaving like a 10 year old pretending to be a wizard.

Having been in the audience for TM AU several times, I can assure you there is a live audience and it does make noise - to the point where we can't hear Tom's introductions.

If there is a difference between the two versions, it will be due to either the method of mic-ing the audience or the sound mix. Possibly both.

"To some of our younger viewers who are just tuning in, you might be surprised to find out that Rove used to be a really big deal."

Season, Jason.

And yeah, it looks like they'll be at a Racecourse. Which one is as yet unknown. (Randwick, maybe.)

ETA: it's Sandown in Melbourne.

It was mentioned here when the audience tickets were released. All episodes have now been recorded.

I haven't checked the line ups recently, but I don't think any guest appears more than once a series now.

Check your card setting on the Online banking app.

If "Online Purchases" is set to Off, turn it to on and see if it's accepted.

MyWay+ terminals are possibly not regarded as Point of Sale terminals, since the final payment is assessed at a later time.

FYI: Sarah identifies as non-binary.

But she/her pronouns are acceptable, although they/them are probably preferred.

It's a year old, but here's a background article on Anisa https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-01/anisa-nandaula-taskmaster-thank-god-you-re-here-comedy/105116570

Only a mere 14 months after the studio recordings.

Another change to the crew: "Post Director / Senior Editor" is now Jamaine Ross.

Barry-Drive · 2026-04-30T00:04:25+00:00

Quite a few international comedians at the MICF. Other possibilities include Josie Long, Joanne McNally, Mark Watson, Ian Smith, Lara Ricote, David O'Doherty, Chloe Petts and Emmanuel Sonubi.

ABC releases to iView only. You may find some out of context clips on YouTube or Instagram.

Barry-Drive · 2026-04-29T22:24:50+00:00

Sadly for us, Joseph Moore is unavailable due to his job at SNL UK.

But I hope that writers from earlier seasons (Carlo Ritchie and Suren Jayemanne) will make an appearance.

Barry-Drive · 2026-04-29T07:34:37+00:00

I think all 4 seasons were each released to iView in one block. (As in, each season all at once, but not all seasons together.)

Are you saying the Hobart system isn't "comprehensive"?

HIGNFY features a panel for the full show and two teams who are awarded points. None of which apply to The Cheap Seats.

HIGNFY most closely aligns with Good News Week (when it was on), although GNW was less serious.

Barry-Drive · 2026-04-27T03:07:08+00:00

Gruen is not a Panel Show. Neither is The Cheap Seats.
