Hey Hey it’s not Saturday on Tuesday is now Wednesdays!
Yep, the two reunion shows have switched nights.
The shows will now air on Wednesday September 30th and October 7th.
That puts them smack bang against the premieres of Celebrity MasterChef, NCIS: Los Angeles and Hungry Beast (amongst other regular shows).
It also moves the show away from Packed to the Rafters.
“I can’t begin to tell you what a thrill it’s been for me, personally, to work once more with so many of my old friends and colleagues,” said Daryl Somers.
“Putting together these two specials has been an absolute labour of love and an exciting challenge to rebuild the show from the ground up.
“We’ll have everybody’s favourite segments but presented in a fresh, contemporary manner. I can’t wait to get out there and deliver what our legion of fans has told us they want to see.
“Plus, expect to see a few surprises and new ideas that will catapult Hey Hey head-first into the new millennium.”
Nine still insists Molly Meldrum is part of the show, despite a report as late quoting his manager that Nine’s announcement was “premature” due to Foxtel having concerns over his inclusion.
The final line in Nine’s Press Release rather oddly notes, “And of course no Hey Hey reunion would be complete without everyone’s favourite feathered friend, Plucka Duck.”
Sorry bout that Ossie fans….
The television week of September 27th is officially bigger -and more complicated- than Ben Hur.
hi hey hey great to have some entertainment back again channel 9 nearly burned down because you r hot hot hot keep up the good work regards maria
i like you guys and ladies but i cant get on your show to do red faces?
welcome back heyhey
missed your show
i love livina
saw most of your shows it was the most in thing and uptodate live show
with all artists. very good should not have left
Too much ‘we’re so popular’, and too little entertainment.
Good to have a good ole aussie laugh on telly for a change instead of all that American crap, which our sreen are full of these days.
I would love to know where I can get a copy of Tin Lids Christmas carols…as a family we Love it at Christmas and I have lost it….in sooo much trouble!PLease let me know. Love it love it. Go Barnsey !!!!
Channel 9 you have sunk to lowest- put Daryl out to pasture and let this old show be a reminder why it finished when it did- pathetic
I can only surmise that 9 were coerced to move Hey Hey away from Tue night by 7 – after all, it was only shortly after Molly was given the green light that it was bumped to Wednesday night – so, instead of being up against 7s biggest gun, it now has the potential to critically damage the premiere and subsequent ep of 10s biggest hope.
Love to wipe the smug smile off the powers-that-be at 7; guess that won’t be happening now….
Just saw an ad on Channel 9 Perth during the AFL footy show, which was advertising that it was on Tuesday! Must’ve been an outdated ad I guess.
2.5 hrs.
So how long is the show? 2 hours, right?
I’m happy with this arrangement, it clashed with Survivor, I couldn’t tape Survivor no PVR yet.
I don’t think CMC will be anywhere near as good as the original. Celebrity BB bombed big time. Do we really care what c grade celebs can cook? I’m just hanging out for season 2 next year. CMC will just ruin it for me.
I think Livinia is a great sidekick.Shame She and Ed Phillips lost their show to that shi**y Charlie Sheen Garbage
The show is live.
Seems desperate. Oh and wasnt Hey Hey “Live” in its day. So why are we getting pre-recorded crap anyway. I will record it if i have room on my recorder since it is already going to be a busy week.
Agaisnt MasterChef? Now this is going to be competitive!
Seems to me like they don’t have much confidence in the product, but this is good news as I won’t have to miss East West 101 now.
I dont understand why they didnt put it on a Thursday. Once they finish the Footy Shows it would be the perfect replacement, because in essence it is the same kinda show. Live…. Light Entertainment…. and Nine are already winning the nights so it would have worked well
Daryl Somers looked like he had heaps of botox. LOL.
Hey hey its a weekday
whats goin on?
There was an Ad on Nine today saying it was on Tuesday 29th September. Sounds like the brain isnt talking to the arms.
I’d watch if it was on Saturday. Sorry but all my tv shows are set in stone for the week.
I still think they should bring back Peter Mckenna as co host!
Yeah I would say Funniest Vids at 6.30, Hey Hey at 7.30 – no sense in getting rid of Funniest Vids one of the only Saturday shows outside of ABC1 to actually perform.
Has anyone got any ideas of the ratings figures that 9 will be looking for to convince them to bring hey hey back next year. My guess wk1 1.8m up, wk2 1.5m up. What would happen to funny home videos a proven performer sat 6.30? Maybe hey hey could go back to 9.30.
Even is by some miracle Hey Hey out rates NCIS LA I double TEN will pull the plug knowing Hey Hey is just a temp show.
@Goonies I’m sure it helps that she is the only cast member who still works at Nine.
Agree with the comments about good move not going against PTTR but definitely not going up against CMC. Tuesday night makes more sense (out of the two) as Nine already generally has that Nine with light/comedy programs so it fits well with people that normally watch Nine that night – i.e. likely to get those viewers anyway plus hopely more being HHIS fans.
Any word on what’s happening with Money for Jam and the other shows normally on Nine. Are they just being held off for two weeks while these specials are on?
Their comedy writers are already at it…
“Plus, expect to see a few surprises and new ideas that will catapult Hey Hey head-first into the new millennium.”
Golden.
Why Livina? I found her to be the most bland female sidekick of all of them.
I am not planning on watching though so what do i care!
Hey guys the night doesn’t matter. Just enjoy and have a laugh.
I wish GO! could “encore” the Hey Hey It’s Saturday reunion specials…
Hey Hey is Saturday or weekend entertainment
Maybe even Sunday night – would certainly take people away from ten & Seven if they went from 6 -30 pm to 8.30Tuesday or Wednesday makes no sense.
Now Nine have to re progamme folks from Tues to Weds
One of these days programmers at Nine will find commonsense.
Can anyone here point them the right way ??
That could totally make NCIS:LA flop you know… hope it doesnt.
Mike I take it you haven’t read the interview with John Blackman in which he references most of those?
Yep..agree with you David..the 2nd show will need something to hang its hat on..looks like now that Farnsy is part of it so might be what it needs.
Ernie Carroll is 80 now. Cant see him really wanting to do 5 hours of live TV perched on a stool.
Just one other thing. The promos are all about the “later-era” HHIS…Livinia, Plucka, Russell Gilbert etc etc. Surely they will find time for the Angel. Mrs McGillicuddy, Norman Neumann, Grotty at the Base..you know, the characters from Hey Hey when it really Was edgy, seat of the pants TV?? . The last years of the program were as planned, rehearsed (and often prerecorded) as any other tonight show
lol, against cel masterchef instead of pttr. stupid move 9, will prob still get good numbers but they will loose alot from cm and ncis l.a
So Nine moved it from out of the way of TV’s highest rating show and slotted it against a show which did over 3 million a few months ago? Hmm…
Appearance yes. When: dunno. How long: dunno. Live: dunno.
I’d put him in ep 2. The show only gets a lifeline if ep 2 works.
Out of the boiler and into the frying pan. Moving away from Rafters was always a good idea, but up against Celebrity MasterChef, NCIS: Los Angeles and Hungry Beast makes just about the same amount of sense (none).
Guess that means Johnny Farnham will be on it then.
Just put it on Saturday Night!
Maybe they will ‘encore’ it the following Saturday night?
from your story about Blackers
“At one of those shoots he did catch up with Ossie Ostrich, via his handler Ernie Carroll. For the reunion, Ossie is set to make ‘an appearance.’
“Ossie showed up at one of the photographic sessions, and as you know he lives in a case. I said to Ernie ‘Can we have a look at him?’ And there was little Ossie sitting there, with one eye looking up at us, all scrunched up. It was quite emotional actually.
“I said to Ernie, ‘Have you had him in the case all this time?’ and he said ‘Don’t forget I left the show 5 years before it finished.’ So he’s been in the case for 15 years and hasn’t changed a bit.”
So does that mean Ossie will be appearing or not? Maybe a pre record?
