Haven't really watched an episode since 2013 when I watched weekly, turned it on a few weeks ago, my god has this gone downhill. Finally turned it off when some extremely cringeworthy parody of open mike came on, never watching it again.
eddie will be back by hook or by crook.

The Lou tribute was great....although they were talking about World of Sport as if everyone knew what it was. It finished 30 years ago so a big segment of the audience would have had no idea what it was.
On a side note, World of Sport has now been off our screens longer than the show actually ran for. Ran for 28 years, been gone for 30. I feel old.

They were up to the 14th most-watched show nationally last night, with 461,000 viewers.
They had 221,000 viewers in Melbourne, but were pipped locally by Master Chef (at least until that show finished at ~9:40pm), who had 225,000 viewers

There's not much to explain is there? It was a Sunday morning live panel show about sport, with comedic banter between the panellists. I'm too young to have seen the show, but I do remember Sportsworld hosted by Bruce McAvaney, which was followed by Rex Hunt's Footy Panel. I imagine World of Sport was similar to these shows?

The 461k figure is a total of the Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth ratings added to the ratings for Fatty Vautin's NRL version in Sydney and Brisbane.
Watching that segment firstly Lou what a fantastic talent he was.
Secondly they need new hosts in no planet would Hutchy and Bec be hosts of the footy it's just sad watching the footy show these days-it was such a staple of my week and now it's gone!

Seems like TJ and Lou were close. Does anyone know how or why they were so close? Are they related?

In his 15 minute tribute piece (just getting a 15 minute piece on Lou showed the legend that he was) on 9 news on Tuesday, Tony Jones explained that he saw Lou as firstly a father figure, and then in later life, Lou and Edna as grandparent figures.
When TJ started in the business, Lou took him under his wing and taught him the trade, much the same as he did with Sam.
TJ at the beginning of his media career was also part of the ghost writing team for Lou's columns.
They worked together for 30 odd years, from the early days in print media to the Sunday Footy Show and 9 news.

Sportworld was more a serious news / bulletin format. Rex Hunt was a bit more like World of Sport.
Sport mixed with comedy and entertainment. My memories of World of Sport were in the shows last couple of years, but I remember the cycling challenges they had and the wood chopping competitions. It was a bit like Hey Hey It's Saturday with a sporting theme.

That is a good way to describe it! WOS was about the characters (Uncle Doug, Louie, Jack, Bobby, Gentlemen Jim etc.) just like Hey Hey was (Red, Ozzie, Dickie etc.)

Yes...but it was a set up. The woman they got from the audience wasn't a random.

The state of origin cockroach stunt hasnt been funny in any of the last whatever number of years they've been trotting it out.
They are rehashing segments from about 15 years ago like the quiz
Jeez this has been the worst I've seen. Flat crowd, flat panel. It's just awkward. Gibbo sounds like he almost feels bad and tries to chime in to break the void in silence

Anyone who watched last night, happen to know the song that was played when they told the entrants in the lecture theatre to start the quiz?
I remember that. I also remember when Sam walked in front of the desk to see what the score wAs
