YouTube Clip Of The Day
11:31AM Jess McGuire | Because we now appear to be in the beginning stages of tonsillitis (boo, ye gods!), we’ve spent a rather comforting hour or two curled up on the couch watching YouTube videos of the D-Generation team in various comedy sketches. The following scene from The Mick Molloy Show which features Tony Martin playing Hugh Grant playing Chopper highlights both Martin’s magnificence and the sheer idiocy of Austereo to ditch such a comic legend.
Hope Strauchanie’s worth the cash.
PS: This from Red Symons the other day regarding the appeal of Strauchanie.
That’s not a character, that’s a fucking hat.
And you can quote me on that.
So we have, Red. So we have. Go check out the grumpy judge from The X Factor’s latest video creation, while you’re at it. More » Mick Molloy’s New Telly Show Debuts Tonight
8:56PM Jess McGuire | We’re currently writing this post while hosting trivia in a pub (the internet and Defamer Australia, being soulmates, are inseparable) so we won’t get to watch it.
Can someone else do all the hard yards, watch The Nation on Channel Nine, and tell us honestly what it’s like? If Jackie O appears, we insist you spit on your screens.

Box Won’t Be Seen On Molloy’s New Show
5:36PM Jess McGuire | Despite earlier speculation that Fifi Box would be appearing on Mick Molloy’s new panel show, it would appear her bosses over at Austereo aren’t quite prepared to let her off the leash again.
The cast for Mick Molloy’s dip back in TV land, The Nation, has been chosen, and it doesn’t include Melbourne’s Fifi Box.
While her Sydney breakfast radio rival Jackie O made the grade, Melbourne-born funnygirl Fifi Box will not appear on the Channel 9 show despite starring in its pilot last month.
The door has been left open for Box, but whispers are that her employer, Austereo, banned her from the gig because her ratings had fallen while she juggled her on-air commitments and commuting to Melbourne for Dancing with the Stars.
It is sort of a shame because, despite our earlier playful jabs at Fifi Box, we do find her extremely affable – we just question exactly what she’d bring to a panel show focusing on news and current affairs. In any case, it looks as though Fifi Box’s position on the panel will be ably filled by… we’re sorry, Jackie O? JACKIE O? You can’t get Fifi Box for your show so you aim for Jackie O?
Others to share their humorous take on current affairs, sport and entertainment with Molloy include sportscaster Tiffany Cherry, Quizmania babe Nikki Osbourne and comedian Akmal Saleh.
“I won’t be doing all the heavy lifting this time round — I’m too old for that,” Molloy said. “I’ve recruited some great talent to help carry the load.”
Which brings us once again back to muttering over and over with disbelief… Jackie O? Are you taking the piss, sir? Is this just one of many great examples of mischievous japery we can expect from the minds behind The Nation? Will she be the butt of all jokes?
That’s gotta be it. There’s no other explanation.
