Daryl Somers Threatens Australia With More ‘Hey Hey’
As I approach my 28th birthday next month* I suddenly find myself getting much wiser as the days go by, Braithwaite style, and each passing hour sees me move ever closer to my inevitable death.
And one of the things I’ve realised I can be certain about in this crazy and unpredictable life is that no matter what’s happening around us, despite every failure in the past and the current worldwide economic woe, regardless of whether there’s a want or a need for it… Daryl Somers is spending every waking moment on this planet plotting a way to get Hey Hey It’s Saturday back on the telly.
This is why a heartwarming article about Daryl donating dog food suddenly has me terrified to walk past my TV lest I see the back of Dickie Knee’s head.
Former Hey Hey It’s Saturday host Daryl Somers has emerged as an animal lover.
Somers, who hosted Dancing with the Stars, donated half a tonne of dog food to bushfire relief. It was a practical and personal gesture to care for man’s best friend.
And here’s where I began to worry…
Somers has been absent from the small screen since quitting Dancing in 2007. Last year, he was in talks with Channel 9 to create either a one-off Hey Hey It’s Saturday reunion or a series of Hey Hey It’s Saturday “best-of” specials.
We haven’t heard from Daryl in a while, you know… this means he’s planning something BIG, people. Eventually he will overpower the folks in charge at Channel 9 and I’m just going to have to accept Hey Hey’s return or move to New Zealand. Although I have an awful feeling in the pit of my stomach that Hey Hey was broadcast over there too.

Moving to NZ may yet save you, “Hey Hey” was broadcast in the mid-late eighties on TVNZ but sank like a lead balloon. Most of us Kiwis thought it had appalling humour, with references we could never quite understand – oh yeah and a stuffed ostrich as co-host…
I heard 9 were considering picking up Sideshow with Daryl as host.
Isn’t there some way we can twist this ‘animal lover’ aspect around and get him thrown in a prison cell with his mate ‘boy lover’ Gavin Disney? That will keep him off our screens.
Hey Jess…. you got it all wrong!!!
“Daryl Somers is spending every waking moment on this planet plotting a way to get Hey Hey It’s Saturday back on the telly.”
Daryl Somers has done NOTHING to put this show back on, in fact, he was approached several times by channel nine and he rejected every offer. It was the “public” that did everything they could!!!! Do your homework first before you post crap! (try Googling first and “READ” the articles…)
