Really? I thought there were some great moments. Perhaps its my attraction to Charlie Pickering but I thought it was a fantastic yearly wrap. I loved the opening skit.
Attracted to emotionless smug robots? Can’t imagine anything less interesting or funny than Charlie.
You have no idea. My track record of boyfriends has been… sabotaging to see the least.

What was with the bizarre ending in The Yearly special last night when Charlie went nude in the final few scenes, walking through the gardens in Melbourne CBD?
The Real Premiers of Australia and Margaret Pomeranz’s TV wrap were brilliant segments though.
The show returns for 2022 on Wednesday, April 27 at 8.30pm.

Herald Sun reports that the ABC has offered counselling to staff after the show’s executive producer Chris Walker stripped naked in front of colleagues during an online rehearsal meeting on May 17, wrongly believing he had logged off on a Skype call. Chris is currently on an European holiday with partner Carrie Bickmore. The ABC and Chris’s television production company, Thinkative Television, issued statements to the paper saying the incident was unintentional and he was undressing to get into the shower, but wasn’t performing a lewd act.

Wonder if it will get a mention on air in some form…
Poor guy. But this is why you never take your laptop/ phone for videos calls into bathrooms etc. tech doesn’t always behave! Never risk it let alone strip infront of it.

It makes me feel ill that people must’ve thought it was ok to watch for ‘between 40 seconds and 2 minutes’ without either alerting him to the problem or logging off/closing their computer.

New details surface after Carrie Bickmore’s partner Chris Walker exposes himself on Skype
An anonymous ABC employee on Tuesday told the Herald Sun incident had exposed obvious “double standards” with their employer.
“You’re not allowed plastic bottles in the building but the nude guy is on the screen but that’s hilarious,” they said.
“The reason we are all concerned about it is [because] the ABC are moral preachers.”
The staffer felt that the matter had been dealt with lightly due to Mr Walker’s company being a key client of the ABC. In addition to using several ABC employees for production, it produced the programs The Weekly, Hard Quiz and Today Tomorrow.
The employee believes if an ABC worker had exposed themselves on a Skype call, “they would never be allowed to set foot in the place again”.

Small thing but did someone forget to do fact-checking? The show is called Tomorrow Tonight.
