Also featuring on The Yearly are Abbey Gelmi with sport, and Alexei Toliopoulos discussing the use of AI in movies.
Tom Gleeson’s chat with Anthony Albanese was supposed to be part of The Yearly, but it was not shown at all.
There was mention about the show being delayed for a week as a mark of respect.

Did Tom Gleeson do a chat at all?
He did.
I hope the chat will be shown on the new season premiere of The Weekly on January 14.

Wow - that’s a really early return for the program.
The Yearly is a good show. Had a few chuckles along the way, with the sketch on “word of the year” and trying to explain to the older generation what the hell was a 6-7, to Margaret Pomarenz dig on reality shows (and 10 News+).
Am also surprised that this (and Hard Quiz) are returning so early.
