Shaun has confirmed he will be filming a pilot for a new variety show on Channel 10.
Being interviewed for the Herald Sun, has admitted “I’m doing a pilot in July. Any variety show worth its salt is live. There’s a big taste for that at the moment.” He went on to describe his current relationship with Ten as a “good one”, which he wants to build on. He’s also talking to them about other projects.
He describes his current show, Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation, as having the most “real” version of himself, unlike shows such as The Micallef P(r)ogram(me) and even Micallef Tonight. Of the reason for using a “character” version of himself previously, “Perhaps I hid behind characters was, ‘What if they don’t like me?’ ”
He’s very flattered by the success of TAYG, which culminated in his winning of a Logie for Most Popular Presenter.
Let me be the first to say – if you need someone for your audience Shaun, I’ll be there with bells on!
