FTA-TV Rove LA

[JUBJUB]

What channel does it feature on over in the states?

None,it was made for Fox 8 in Australia.
Apart from Jay Leno,nobody in the US [or Aus ] gives a fat rats about Rove.

It's kind of watchable, though it depends on the guests, not Rove. I'm not a fan of segments such as 'what sound is this?' Leave that stuff for local radio shows.

What channel does it feature on over in the states?

It can be seen in the US, either by web stream or some obscure cable channel. Can't remember what Rove said.

 

[iamcorky]

This article just cracks me up

From 1999-2009, McManus hosted the popular variety show Rove (later known as Rove Live) and built his reputation as the Jay Leno of Australia

WTF ???
He hosted a low rating chat show once a week

Part of the appeal for celebrity guests lies in Rove LA's unusual set-up. Unlike most American late-night shows, all three guests are on stage for the entire show. But instead of just talking to the host, all three sit together on a couch and chat with each other, as well as McManus. The idea for the format came straight from his experiences working on his former show.

Um.....didn't Michael Parkinson keep his guests on for the entire show ?

Not hard to tell that was written for the TV network that airs his show in the USA

Wish this bloke would just go away. Not funny and never has been. Only idiots and children would enjoy his 'humour'.

Be honest guys- if someone like Steve Coogan did this exact show you'd all love it

The majority on this forum hate Aus productions or performers

 

[Vincent Chase]

Nah.

It's the fact Rove is an unfunny fvckwit.

 

[JP Sauce]

Happy to admit that I used to love Rove/Rove Live back in it's earlier days. Just got old and less funny as the years went on.

yes but he didn't start with all the guests already sitting there, he introduced them one by one.

The format is interesting although I'd like to see another host do it. Rove is kinda funny sometimes and kinda lame other times. Mostly lame though.

Did you just compare Rove McManus to Steve Coogan?

Did you read and understand the post?

I actually caught an episode of this tripe a few nights ago. Rove is as unfunny as ever. The show would be much better without his endless cringe worthy attempts at being funny and more time spent on the guests just getting to interact with each other. Gag Rove, tie him up in the corner off camera and it could be watchable.

 

[CLUBMEDhurst]

I'd rather let starving rats loose in my undies, than be subjected to that dolt. Anybody remember his interview with Ali G, got pantsed big time.

 

[BEEG]

Never liked Rove but for some strange reason i wtach this show and i will not turn it of

I enjoy how the 3 actors will all interact with each other you do not see that on this kind of shows

No, it's because Rove McManus is shit and as funny as cancer (when it happens to you).

[peternorth]

just flicked over cause im a fan of the fat gay guy from modern family. as soon as rove swore i knew it was over. (and it was).

even the mrs demanded a channel change. and she's a defender of the moron.

swearing is interesting in comedy. rove and wil anderson seem to drop bombs in at ill timed moments.

Was Tendai Mzungu in the audience tonight, next to the WA banjo playing chick?
