Like the other guy above said:
“Stealing other talk shows’ segments and jokes has paid off, congratulations.”
I don’t understand why people think he’s so creative and funny when this is pretty much all he does. Without regulars like Pete and Hamish & Andy the show would be unwatchable.

@Justin Two Minutes At Your Place was always painful. I am glad the “home viewer” element is gone.

@Dr TV Ryan is clearly the funniest person on Australian TV. I disagree that his support cast used to be better – most of the clips of the originals was from the Channel Nine season in 1999 when it was a very different show. They should certainly do more skits now.

Fantastic episode Rove and team. 10 years in TV land is testament to their determination and success; all of which they deserve.

Its easy to forget the calibre of talent and stars they have pulled in years gone. What other show in this country can boast that?

Sensational show guys great stuff!

All the people saying ‘he’s such a nice guy’ etc have hit the nail on the head as to why he is not as popular as he once was in my opinion – he now tries so hard not to offend anyone and be a vanilla everyman that there is no edge to anything he does.

I agree his prime was a few years ago and that he really should take a hiatus and retool.

great show last night, very funny and entertaining. @bindi agree years back there was a lot more of what you would call “hilarious” moments

imho… what i picked up from last night was the fact that Rove, the show, was far better in years gone past! it was innovative, and almost not to be missed on a sunday night..

unfortunately, this is not the case in 2009

i cracked up at some of the guff from years gone.. especially ms grant, brilliant!

ryan shelton.. what a yawn, total bore

Rove, the guy.. sensational

Loved the show last night Rove. Loved seeing all the old cast members back and seeing all the old bits. Hope you get your camera back. Hope we see more episodes Rove. Rove is seriously one of the nicest guys you will ever come across. He deserves his success.

Great special. Thou it did remind me of how the show has lost its edginess and how many great segments that have gone. What The?, Roving with Rove, Tell us where to go and some of the skits like Sex Office. Still, well done Rove on a great 10 years.

Rove needs to keep that unfunny guy Ryan Shelton from his program that’s for sure. What I learnt from last night’s 10 year special was that Rove’s supporting cast was far stronger 6 years ago than it is now – and it’s something that Rove’s team needs to look at for sure.

loved the special, made me feel very nostalgic, i miss heaps of those old segments. the ones they have now are ok, they make me chuckle a bit but some of those old ones had me in hysterics i wish they would bring some of them back.

Congratulations Rove and team for reaching 10 years! Here’s to the next 10.
I just would like to know why there was no mention of Ron Steward the senior movie reviewer and Myf Warhurst?

Congratulations on 10 years Rove! I think Rove needs to reconnect his audiences & home viewers again which was success back then before he change whole show.
Like get the audience or home viewers be part of show again with those segaments he had. We are missing that part of show now. I used to laugh alot and it made me feel good and excited.
I love it when Rove does the show live outside of studio (in street/park and live at your place). That was really connecting to your audiences and giving so much fun for show to watch & excitement. Needs to do it more often, would be great if he did.

As much as I bag it on occasion, I am grateful the show exists and love Rove. But seriously, there is nothing wrong with pre-interviews. It would make the world of difference if it felt like the chats were going somewhere. It really works when guests – WIll Ferrel for example – come in with a “bit” already planned.

This is one of the few talk shows of the Non American Variety I don’t mind watching.
You look at rubbish like Dr Phil and Oprah How Boring and What Relevance do such programs have to Australians
