10 years later, Tom Gleeson is now calling for the PM to honour his pledge.

“Albo promised me we would do another Hard Chat in 10 years! Well here we are. Let’s have another meeting. Unlike Trump, I’ll show up!” Gleeson told TV Tonight.

In an exclusive response, PM Anthony Albanese said, “I’d happily come on Tom’s chat show if it hadn’t been cancelled… HARD.

“But if Tom can bring a crew to Canberra we can try to organise one special edition of Hard Chat for those old enough to remember it.”

It would be a great get if it does happen. Albo and Gleeaon. What can go wrong :stuck_out_tongue:

Then again, Albo did appear as a guest on spicks & Specks while he was PM. Doing the Hard Chat would be a nice get. If it happens.

I wonder if the new date is to allow Charlie to record his reflection on the Bondi Beach terror attacks. Most of the special is in the can.

Season 12

Wednesday January 14 8:30pm

Charlie Pickering is ready for 2026 as The Weekly returns with tv’s best wrap of the week’s news.
We watch it all, so you don’t have to.

Should have all been in the can. Audience taping was on the 9th Dec. Would be surprised if they don’t update/add to it in some way though.

Charlie Pickering opened up the show (The Yearly) with a brief monologue about the Bondi events, before going to the original show. Nice and simple.
