The Brett Lee/Andy Bichel interview was painful to watch.

I think it was apalling. When Brian May and Roger Taylor were on I cringed - they couldn't get a word in edgeways. The cricketers interview was a disgrace. As for the Kylie interview, words fail me. Paul Hogan was better interviewed on Sunrise this morning.
Comedians simply cannot interview people. Basically they spent the whole show trying to out funny each other. The Panel works, The Fat Works all because the panellists manage to contain their egos and allow each other to talk and when a guest is on they allow them to talk.
Stick to radio guys! I won't be tuning in again.

One of the worst shows of all time. Matt Tilley is possibly the worst interviewer in the Australian media at the moment. Tracy Bartram is just painful and Steve Bedwell has been a lost cause for years now. Amanda Kellar is not suited to this show, and the only person on the show with any real talent (Greg Fleet) couldn't get a word in.
Never to be watched again!:mad:

Agree 100% with you CJ. Only.. whats this hidden talent of Fleet? Is he a good painter... guitar player... tap dancer??
Cause he sure as hell aint got no talent for comedy.

Did I hear a quote from Bartram saying how big her head was on tv. ? Maybe it was in my head but I swear she was talking about seeing herself on the monitor.
Heard that and went off to Sex and the City. :cool:

Tracy Bartram would have to be one of the most unfunniest comedians going around.She is ordinary on the radio in the mornings and proved she was ordinary on the box last night.
Stick to radio Tracy as at least we dont have to see you make a fool of yourself

Probably why she's often on ROVE .
Yep watched it for about 15 mins and it was total crap. 3rd Rate comedians all trying to pump up their own egos and overtalk each other.
Panel wannabes, and show no respect to their guests.

i enjoyed THE CHATROOM very much, i thought it was a good format. matt tilley has tried and failed on TV before (think back to The Great Chase - great show, but he was a crap host). Tracy was OK, she is funnier live and on the radio in Melbourne. Greg Fleet is funny only because he's an idiot.
Berner was good, as was Keller.
I enjoyed the Kylie interview and also the Brett Lee-Andy Bichel interview.
Here's to a big year for THE CHATROOM..... :)
God it was ****house, watched most of it, but only because I wanted to see if there was going to be anything even remotely funny said.....there wasn't. Won't bother again.

I couldn't watch it because my idiot dog chewed through the antenna cable :mad: . But glad to hear it is bad, anything with Bartrum on it deserves to fail miserably. Was Steve Bedwell on the show? Ughhh...words can't describe.

I HAVE to disagree with you there.
Greg Fleet = 1 funny guy.
Maybe not last night, but I'm sure I've seen him do stand up heaps more than you, and the man is a legend.
You can say you didn't like him on the show, but DON'T say that he has no talent for comedy because that's just not true.

I can say I dont like him full stop. Unfunny and no talent for comedy. Its true for me, maybe (apparently) not for you. Different truths for different people.
But I find 90% of comedians unfunny (98% when its Australian comedians). So maybe it is just me anyways. ;)

But are you judging comedians by what you see on the idiot box or from what you see live at Comedy Clubs?
Greg Fleet has to be seen live(as do most comics) to fully appreciate just how funny he is.

Bartrum had a sook about the reviews they got and the low ratings, saying that Australia had become a bunch of knockers. Where the hell does she get off - all that stupid hag ever does is bag people out.

Can you see the bitter irony in this post?
Very funny.
