“Let Me Shag Kerri-Anne And We’ll Consider Your Offer”: Chaser Wooed By Networks

9:13AM Clem Bastow | In a development that induces horrible flashbacks to Kath & Kim being plucked from the ABC by Seven’s flying monkeys, the commercial network sharks have started circling the blokes from The Chaser, evidently seeing a cash cow in the political satire show. Whether or not the boys actually take the offer is another question, considering Chas Licciardello’s, er, unusual bargaining requests: “At the moment the commercial networks aren’t offering us the right carrots,” Licciardello told AAP. “We’ve been offered money, we’ve been offered better conditions but I’m yet to be offered an affair with Kerri-Anne Kennerley,” Licciardello joked. “When they start offering the real stuff then we’ll start thinking of going but until then they’re just not trying.” Chas you rogue! The bitter irony of all this is that, knowing Channel Nine’s solid morals, one can actually imagine a lackey being dispatched to Kennerly’s dressing room with a memo saying, “Look, Kerri-Anne, you’ve done a lot of great things for Nine, but we have a new project for you…” if they thought that the Chaser boys were going to be the answer to all the network’s problems. Run, Kerri-Anne, run as far away as you can! More »

Chaser Eleven No Doubt Disappoint Today Tonight By Delaying Day In Court

10:37AM Clem Bastow | For those of you who’ve been following the case of those very naughty boys from The Chaser post-APEC summit “stunt” (because that’s what conservative media says about stuff like this, right? “Stunt” and possibly “foolish”; maybe even “morons”), you’ll be pleased to know that all matters have been adjourned for the time being. Ten men and one woman were charged with entering a restricted area without justification after allegedly breaching APEC security on September 6 by driving a fake motorcade through checkpoints. …ABC lawyers yesterday appeared in Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court seeking an adjournment of all matters. If there’s one image we’ll take away from this “brouhaha” (that’s another one), it’ll be the hilarious shots of Osama Bin Laden (aka Chas Licciardello) looking contrite and a bit shy as he is interviewed by police officers. You can’t write that sort of comedy. More »
