Working with Mr.Olb on ABC’s new comedy Slueth 101. It’s good to see Jon get recognition after 20 years of commitment. Well done Jon

Just love the new SBS show ADbc. Quirky, hilarious animation. History is funny and entertaining on this show.

Appreciate his work however Australias No 1 5:30 game show Deal or No Deal is also woth noting and a credit to Butch Franc. He has come a long way from his footy days playing half forward for Sandy. Slick production Butch.

Congrats on working on Newstopia. Make sure it, or another true Shawn vehicle, rides again.

I can’t agree with Lisa. Olby has been working hard for more than 20 years in the biz !
He thoroughly deserves his “overnight success”.

Congrats Jon on some fab shows. Your hard earned efforts are paying off. Are you now classed as an overnight success after almost two decades? L.

I like TBYG a lot, but it’s definitely at that awkward stage that Spicks and Specks had in its own first season, where it’s still trying to find its feet.

I think the guests aren’t sure what the expectations and boundaries are, which causes the occasional mystified pause, and Shaun Micallef isn’t good at dealing with filling in a gap without going completely wacko, which just mystifies the guest even more.

I, on the other hand, love it when Shaun is at his surreal best.

What happened to Peter Ots, a Director for 7, 9, 10 and ABC up until last year?

Micallef is the appeal of the show, but it’s not necessarily the right format for him.

He’s so much better than a scripted game show host it’s not funny.
