As expected, Seven has confirmed Thank God You’re Here will move into the 7:30pm Wednesday timeslot.
It will premiere on April 29th.
Seven promises the fourth season will include past favourites plus new performers. Shane Bourne and Tom Gleisner also return to key roles.
Tom Gleisner, co-creator of the show, said: “Thank God You’re Here is all about peril.
Watching our fabulous performers cope with whatever we throw at them. This season we really look forward to making the show even more exciting and unpredictable. In terms of scenarios, we’ve got bigger sets, more elaborate props and – hopefully – enough rubber safety matting to ensure all our guests make it back out the blue door in one piece.”
The ensemble cast of Heidi Arena, Daniel Cordeaux, Roz Hammond, Ed Kavalee and Nicola Parry also return.
Seven famously swooped on the comedy series from TEN late last year.

i agree david cancel all aussie shows that backstab!! for people that want to there is a boycott group on facebook to join, has thousands of people joined already
I hope 7 pulled Russel Brand in for this. He would be hilarious.
I can’t stand this show, it’s so forced and unfunny! Like when Rhys Darby was on rove he was hilarious, then rove did his final 5 and tried to set him up (similar to tgyh) with some jokes and he had to force things that didnt get a laugh, comedians are funny coz they prepare their work (few exceptions – Chris Rock)… I hope this show dies…oh and shane bourne is excruciating to watch.. get me real comedy like the office and arrested development (rip)
Here’s an idea. Why don’t we just cancel Aussie content altogether?
It’s a great show and despite Seven snatching it off poor TEN I’ll still be watching.
Lol. Just as I was typing out the names of those who appeared in episode 2. It’s already on Wikipedia.
Hamish Blake, Rob Carlton, Peter Rowsthorn (Kath and Kim) and Josie Long (UK comedian) were on the show.
The recording was done at Melbourne Showground. They had to re-film some of the scenes because you can hear the trains going past.
I didn’t really like Josie Long’s performance. She was a roving reporter in the group scene, but she forgot where she was and forgot that she’s got a TV monitor in front of her. When asked where she was, she turned back but can only see a big green screen, and she said: “…err… green, Greenland!”
when did russel brand leave australia? could he be in an episode?
@ Dakota, apparently it is 11 episodes, up from the usual 10 episodes.
I wonder if Ch 7 will be stricter with the content? Over the years there were a few risque moments either visually or verbally on Ch 10 – the sort of stuff that I think Ch 7 viewers would scream ‘won’t somebody think of the children’ over!
and it will be 11 eps. which i assume will be 10 normal ones and 1 extended final (like season 3). so its a longer than average season
the Cal Wilson, Merrick, Colin Lane and Rhys Darby may have been the first episode they filmed but will not necessarily be ep#1.
they film them in order of when the guests are available i know AGT was filmed in order or #4, #2, #1, #3 and singing bee was all over the place as well. u’d think they’d have a strong lineup for the first ep cal wilson ect. doesn’t scream that out.
guests for the first episode are Cal Wilson, Merrick, Colin Lane and Rhys Darby
Do we know if its going to be more than 13 Episodes this time?
@Ryan yeah I will also be jumping for joy if the numbers are sh*t
Flop flop flop
oh i so agree!! seven is grubby channel who tries to succeed from other channels fortunes! it will push me towards ten more aswell on wed! doesnt matter really cause i watch biggest loser on wed and then guerella gardners.
I will jump with joy if the numbers are s**t!
thats interesting alan,
i guess there is a stronger chance that other personalities will show up that we thought couldn’t.
working dog would be smart to keep the show as much the same as it was last season, there are some people out there that have some idea that the show will change from 7’s influences which i doubt is true. it will be the same show with a different watermark. 7:30 Wed is smart.
Alan, can we get any more information. other guests?
Yuck. I won’t be watching.
Seven’s disgusting corporate attitude does nothing for me as a viewer. All it does is puch me closer towards TEN.
@littlea: as Hamish& andy have already said, they’re not making a show.
I personally would be disappointed if they did have something regular, because history shows that when a high rating radio show tries to mimic it’s sucess on tv, it fails. That’s why it’s good having H&A on rove, they get a little tv spot to show off their latest antics from the radio show. It’s enough to compliment the radio show, not completely take it over.
I won’t be watching it. They lost me as a viewer when they changed station for money. Why change when it is not broken. I just hope Channel Ten get some sense and sign on Hamish and Andy as weekly show on Wednesday and they will give Channel Seven run for their money.
Looking forward to the return. Pleased to hear Hamish is still taking part this year.
Glad to see the ensemble cast has been retained. They’re what makes the show as good as it is.
Any word on who’ll be in the first ep?
Will be good if Micalef is in the first episode.
I’ve been to recording of TGYH.
The show is most or less the same.
Hamish will be on episode 2.
Damien Fleming (the cricketer) will have a video presence every week.
I got something to watch at 7:30pm on April 29th now 🙂
I became hooked on the Show when Ahn Do did that waiter skit at Season 2 opener. I hope they kept alot of thier craziness!
A lot of the Ten fanboys won’t be too pleased with this, but I say if you enjoyed the show you’ll continue to watch it, regardless of what network its on. As for me, I got bored of this show after 2 or 3 episodes, but kudos to those who like it, its better than all the factual crap on Seven
