Thank God You’re Here (2023)

Thank God You’re Here Is Back!

Premieres Wednesday, August 2 At 7:30pm On 10 And 10 Play.

Almost 14 years since the last episode aired, the famous blue door is set to open again when Thank God You’re Here returns on Wednesday, August 2 at 7:30pm on 10 and 10 Play.

There’s a new door, new guests, new sticky situations, and a new host: Celia Pacquola, the iconic actor, writer and stand-up comic.

Each week, Australia’s funniest and most fearless comedians will walk through the blue door with no idea what awaits them on the other side.

Once they hear the words “Thank God You’re Here!” the countdown is on to bluff and bullsh#t their way through the most outrageous scenarios imaginable.

As well as featuring a new host and a fresh crop of comedic talent, this season will also welcome surprise comedy legend judges to gently critique each week’s performances.

Step through the blue door, into the world of the unknown.

I think August 2 has been chosen because it’s exactly one week after Utopia (another Working Dog production) concludes its season on the ABC. Also, TGYH had rated well on its Wednesday timeslot more than a decade ago.

Looks like the show will be keeping its original theme song

Will Tom Gleisner still be the judge?

Doesn’t sound like it.

A different comedy “legend” each week? I guess with Tom Gleisner fronting HYBPA, they don’t want him to do two shows at once? Rather have him behind the scenes as part of the Working Dog team.

I hope we’re familiar with the judges (aka those who have been some appearances on HYBPA).

and maybe Shane Bourne as well, although he looks quite different these days after he appeared with Kitty in Fisk.

Yes I was watching Fisk and kept thinking I recognise that voice who is that … then looked at credits and was like OMG that is Shane Bourne.

One Week To Go Until The Blue Door Opens Again.

The countdown is on for the triumphant return of Thank God You’re Here, with one week until the chaotic comedy is officially back on Aussie screens.

Join the magnificently talented and marvellously witty host, Celia Pacquola, as she convinces the cream of the comic crop and a bunch of her best mates to step through the blue door and into the unknown.

Guest judges change every week, but you can guarantee they will all be titans of comedy.

A new era of eye-wateringly funny viewing is almost on your doorstep.

Wonder if the winner gets a bunch of flowers at the end like they used to ?

Wonder who the core cast memeberswill be. Wonder if they will use anyone from 14 years ago like Heidi Arena or Daniel Cordeaux or if not wonder if any of the people from Mad as Hell ?

All the Aunty Donna Boys in one episode but in seperate sketches would be fantastic.

Who were the regular players back then that were going off the script? And have they released who they are now?

The main four I recall - and according to wikipedia the only ones who were there for all eps/series were - Ed Kavalee, Heidi Arena, Nicola Parry and Dan Cordeaux.
I haven’t seen any announcements on the revivals ensemble cast.

Sounds like Redfoo’s “Let’s Get Ridiculous” is the theme song? At least is being used in promos and under the date/time 5 sec bit.

He’s now a director on the show, according to his interview in The Sunday Telegraph today.
