FTA-TV Rove LA

[Super Hans]

Just saw an ad for this on fox8. Looks ok, anyone have anymore info on it?

 

[jackn]

If it's rove in LA then he'd have to interview celebrities therefore it will more than likely be terrible.

 

[hirdy_is_champ]

Didn't he try to do some show in the states a couple of years ago that completely bombed? When will someone tell this bloke he's not funny? 7PM project and BEfore the Game are crap as well, if they weren't from his production house, I doubt they'd still be on air.

“Obviously, being here we’re shooting for Hollywood movie stars to come on but I’m not going to shoot myself in the foot by saying show one we’re fighting over George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts,” he told the Sunday Telegraph.
“Ok, sure, that’s our hope, but I’m also excited about the idea of a Jon Stewart or a Stephen Colbert or a Michael C. Hall and those kinds of guys. And they suit that cable sensibility.”

Or in reality Hamish and Andy (of course), Z graders expats like Sophie Monk, Teresa Palmer, Delta etc as well as any ex Home and Away 'stars' currently trying to crack the US market.

What the?

 

[Lockyer24]

Not a bad idea, although his show here was terrible it might create some interest by interviewing guns like M.C.H rather than Lara Bingle types

 

[legend166]

Someone needs to tell him he'll need to change the show to Rove NY if he wants to get Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert on.

Looks ok

I don't believe you.

It'll be pre-recorded via satellite, like most of his interviews were.

2 weeks tops.

I like the promos he is doing for it though. That one where he is in the cage on "Falling Skies" saying, "I'm an Australian, not an Alien!" I thought was it funny.

But the thing with Rove is the Yanks love him. We might find him a bit cringeworthy at times, but the yanks think he is wonderful. So he might just get some big names come to his show. Expect Chelsea Handler as a possible first up guest.

He's never had a show there, so they'd have no ****ing idea who he is

No, but he still manages to get guest spots on many of the major US talk shows and appears often on Chelsea Lately. The American public may not know him for sure, but he seems well liked by the celebrity set in the US and that is why he will pull good names to interview for his US talk show.

His access to budget seems very generous.

 

[RisingPhoenix]

And so the embarrassing, entirely self driven, entirely self delusional, hype about Rove 'cracking' the US continues.....

."The kind of old guard of American talk shows, you see a lot of them ageing. You look at David Letterman and Jay Leno and I think people are ready for someone new."

So, this is how to crack Hollywood: Rove Style.....let your manager insult the one bloke who actually knows your name, and whose arseh*le your licking to try and open doors and get people to take your phone calls.

Genius stuff.

i saw an ep of leno last week where rove covered the opening game of the nfl between the packers and the saints.

he did some gay arse segment which had 0 laugh potential.

heres 1 minute of it but it went for about 3min. how he's on tv astonishes me. ive seen roadkill on the highway funnier than rove.

 

[woopedazz]

Rove's in my youtube, pissing me off.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

I want to see it just to see how bad it will be

 

[Stockdale]

Only two talk shows i have ever liked are Rove and Craig Ferguson. Plenty of people like him and were big fans of his show and im sure this will be a success just like his show was in aus. Being the host and working off others is where rove is at his best

 

[woopedazz]

Lol, good one Stockdale.

 

[CF]

I watched it to the first ad break and I have to say Rove is still shite. The whole thing was weak as piss.

Our boy's still got it, goddammit!

Andrew Bogut dissed him on twitter.

Game over!

Flicked it on for a second and the celebrities sitting on his couch were Kathy griffin and Turtle from Entourage.
