MICHAEL BUBLÉ BRINGS CHRISTMAS CHEER TO AUSTRALIA IN A GLITTERING SPECIAL
CAMILA CABELLO, JIMMY FALLON, KERMIT THE FROG, LEON BRIDGES AND HANNAH WADDINGHAM HEADLINE STAR-STUDDED LINEUP
Multi-Grammy Award winner Michael Bublé will host a night of comedy, music and Christmas spirit in Michael Bublé’s Christmas in the City, a glittering special premiering Wednesday, December 22, at 7.30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
Bublé will be joined at Studio 8H in New York’s Rockefeller Center by Leon Bridges, Camila Cabello, Jimmy Fallon, Kermit the Frog and Hannah Waddingham for a series of special performances and comedy sketches.
To celebrate the 10ᵗʰ anniversary of his chart-topping holiday season album Christmas, a 48-piece orchestra will bring to life renditions of Bublé’s best known Christmas tracks.
“I’m especially excited about this year’s show and our phenomenal guests,” Bublé said. “It will be a night to remember, and I can’t wait to celebrate with everyone.”
Bublé recently rereleased his Christmas album, which has remained a global chart-topper for a decade, adding seven tracks on a bonus CD, including two newly recorded songs: The Christmas Sweater, a winter wonderland duet with Rod Stewart, and a new version of Let It Snow! with the BBC’s Big Band Orchestra.
Michael Bublé’s Christmas in the City is produced by Lorne Michaels, Bublé, Bruce Allen and Erin Doyle.
Wondering if Nine will repeat old Hamish & Andy’s Gap Year episodes during the non-ratings period again.
Last year, they aired all of Europe (including the London 2012 tie-in special) and all but the final episode of Asia across six Thursdays. These were never repeated beyond their original broadcast on Nine and immediate “catch-up” repeat on GO!
I assume that this means that she is contracted with Nine until December 31, and that this “Light Up Xmas Appeal” show may her last appearance for Nine.
The various news articles state that she had already quit Nine and is starting at Sky News Australia in January. I guess none of them knew of this Appeal (as she has already left her role on Sydney’s Nine News Sports presenter)

I thought Nine was going to repeat the first three Matrix movies to coincide with the cinema release of The Matrix Resurrections. Where are the other two titles (The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions)?
Would have thought Nine would have moved the ‘Gold Coast’ mark to directly underneath the Nine. Looks strange without the ‘HD’ filling out the watermark.
Surely Nine can air some other older ABC titles instead of Kath and Kim over and over again? I mean it’s a great show but there are a few other classics which also deserve a rerun.
