I bet a lot of you will remember this show that aired on Nine in the noughties (and later The Comedy Channel). Who here knows/remembers who played Eddie McGuire in the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? skits? ---

I could also imagine the dating/relationship/wedding-themed “reality” shows and Gogglebox being a major target for Comedy Inc (or any other sketch comedy show) if it was still on the air. And of course, politics. Plenty of material with the current crop in Parliament in Canberra and on Macquarie Street! ---

This was a good show. It was sometimes very hit or miss but they did put a lot of effort into replicating the shows and they did most well. I liked it when it was on later at night it was always great later night viewing.
