It was just another excuse to beat up on Rove.

It was a done deal for Fallon over a year ago. Rove knew he was not in the running, there was only ever going to be Fallon, Rove did say he would look at the U.S. but not necessarily Late Night.

Sally was a pretty straight character, more on the serious/dramatic side. Not only is there limited roles for females in our industry (a trend that should be aggressively changed) but to do a 180 of that would be a light hearted comedic role. And we know how many light Australian comedies there are in Australia. Radio is a good start, shows a more playful side to her personality and gets her used to improv. Maybe some on-air hosting is foreseeable. ITT she was a little un-charismatic. The radio will defiantly help that.
Until our industry generates some big bucks, the branching out of genre is very limited.

Is Kate there to talk about the Gold, promote the radio show, or is there something else we can look forward to?

I really, truly hope that her next on screen role is not only as far from Sally as possible, but she also does an amazing job of it. I have faith, but it’s also a matter of whether anyone is willing to give her a chance or not.
