    Jackie O - fantastic! Why not Jo Stanley and Fifi Box too? And maybe Alan Jones.

    Nice one, Josh! I'd forgotten about that Daria ep...

    So, they're basically trying to do The Chaser's War On Everything with a single host and changing guests?

    I don't reckon they'll pull it in a hurry - gotta keep their Australian "drama" quota up.

    Having been at the shooting of the pilot, there's a couple of things I should mention.

    Jackie O is a late addition - as a replacement for Fifi Box! Personally, I prefer Box over O.

    As for the longevity of the show, the pilot was a lot more punchy than the old Saturday night show, has better talent with more direction and I suspect there's going to be more oversight from 9 management as to content, rather than Mick being given carte blanche by Jamie, as he was for the previous show.

    It will run until around 2015, because Australia loves crap TV shows. And this sounds like total crap.

    More shit casting news with Channel 9 announcing Nikki Osborne will be part of the show. As in Nikki Osborne brain dead bimbo QuziMonkey co-host.

    If her efforts on QuizMonkey are anything to go by, the show will be bursting with humour.

    i guess in theory, having more shows that dissect media and news is a good thing, (a world with both John Stewart & Colbert is better than just the one?) But the problem is that CH9... are just incapable of making watchable tv. Could be worse - it could have Richard Wilkins.

    Well, I'll be giving it a bash because Tuesday nights are pretty vacant on FTA, apart from the police procedurals and serious stuff on ABC/SBS.
