Shaun Micallef interview on ROVE (live in studio with Rove McManus). Includes: Micallefs hidden talent as a country singer & sings for Rove as a wedding present. Official ROVE site - www.RoveDaily.com.au (Roving Enterprises, Melbourne Australia) Broadcast date 21 June, 2009 - Episode 19 of 2009 (s10e19) 21-06-09 Brought to you by Rove McManus site - www.RoveOnline.com (unofficial) Spawned in the city of serial killers and churches in 1962, Shaun Patrick Micallefs beginnings as a motor insurance lawyer provided the perfect grounding for comedy. Expertly equipped to handle a room full of competitive, snarling egomaniacs engaged in petty one upmanship and point scoring, he is now the irreverent and slightly crazy host of TVs ‘Talkin ’bout your Generation’. Auspicious comedy beginnings on Theatre Sports(1987), The Big Gig (1989) and Jimeoin (1994) led to Micallef joining the cast of sketch show Full Frontal (1994-96), where he created popular characters Milo Kerrigan , Nobby Doldrums and a send-up of Italian male model Fabio. But Shauns own shows awaited ABC TVs award-winning The Micallef Program (1998-2001), sitcom Welcher & Welcher (2003) and the variety show Micallef Tonight (2003). Two Logies and an ARIA later, in 2007-08 Micallef turned his hand to current affairs in the squint-and-youll-think-its-real world news regurg with oblique editorial, funny voices and music hall characterizations Newstopia for SBS. Having trodden the boards on stage, lit up the screen in film …
@AliciaMooVProducts He’s had two shows
Gold! zis man is geniooos!
I can’t believe Rove had his own show for years and Shaun didn’t. Outrageous.
my god shaun is good-looking!!!!!!
@p1CKLEpEPPERpIPER Heh, Exactly.
@manicthrasher I’m thinking it’s probably only because Shaun is in this episode.
Lol i think Micallef should change places with Rove.
Well, i’ve constantly denied it, but perhaps Rove Live doesn’t totally suck all the time.
@20B4ME
Hahhaa dude yes he does!
Hard to break out of a conventional interview cross promotion - but with M, you could open the door and he’d come in through the window.
He is on Speed for sure lol
holy crap that was funny
Shaun Micallef deserves to be knighted, or perhaps even some non- christian equivalent if you ask me…he is one of the most extraordinary humans on earth…i’ve been a devoted fan for years (Micallef Pogram) and, as displayed in this video, rightly so! His Moore/ Cook stage show “Good Evening” with Stephen Curry at the melbourne comedy festival is no exception. Classic, genius, consistant, timeless, intruiging and most importantly, incontinently funny… i take my hat off to you Sir Shaun!…
omg i remember watching this on tv
just about the funniest interview on rove i’ve seen
this man put rove to bed and now its shaun’s time to shine! it just took everyone ages to notice how creative and funny he naturally is.
Wow, Micallef can even make Rove Live funny. It’s amazing that he went relatively unrecognised until the rather humdrum Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation. I mean, he’s always had a strong following, but not strong enough to prevent him from getting cancelled mid-season on Channel Nine.
At the high pitch, he reminds me oddly of Dame Edna Everidge.
It’s uncanny. And awesome.
shaun micallef + “talk like that” = frickin’ awesome.
sorry never mind me , i only posted that when he first started singing and it sounded faintly professional
is he actually singing?
oh my god ur totally right lol
the guy in the middle of screen in the audience at 6:15 looks a lot like rove
yeah rove was good a few years ago but now it is obvious his jokes are way too scripted. shaun is hialrious though
“spawned in the city of serial killers and churches”also to Cold chisel ,Hilltop Hoods,Douglas mawson,Lord Florey,Alexander Downer ,home to mel Gibson(at times)etc,etc.
LOL he’s too funny. he was great on TGYH.
oh, and btw. i googled epididymis.
yeh not good
