Anyone know or remember when this was used?
Daryl trying to keep the brand alive.
Anyone here a member of the Hey Hey website?
I am. It appears that they give you the 2009 Reunion specials as a sign-up present for non-paid members. And yes, one of them has the blackface Jackson 5 segment that brought up some controversy.
But if u want to watch the back catalogue (which goes back to 1974), you sadly have to pay.
A 50th anniversary reunion is a long shot especially in this current climate
With or without a globe disrupting pandemic, I don’t think a Hey Hey It’s Saturday 50th anniversary reunion was/is going to happen. As it’s already been pointed out, many of the cast are quite old now and a few have notably experienced health problems in recent years.
Hey Hey We’re Too Old For This $#!t.
The Blackface contraversy. Was condemned by Harry Connick Junior.
Another problem why Hey Hey will never return in its traditional format
Somers should just do a video chat with Jackie McDonald, if she wanted to do it. They could do it on Zoom, have a chat and play a few clips. Posting it on social media would be sufficient. Not commemorating it in someway would be a mistake, but it doesn’t need to be anything more than an online get together, I think.
Play a few clips and a few “best of” moments will do for me.
Maybe a clip show hosted by Livinia Nixon?
This would be a nice idea if they could do it cheaply. Run it at Saturday 7.30pm, if it doesn’t rate well they haven’t lost much.
This deserves to have a story on Nine News.
…and given the calibre of content he typically files for Nine News Melbourne, here’s the perfect reporter to cover it!
