News on Shaun’s current show, Talkin’ Bout Your Generation (or as he calls it – Tayg)

Doing the talking circuit

Stuart Leave a comment

Shaun was on radio this morning, spruiking Sunday night’s episode of Your Gen. I caught his quick appearance on Classic Rock 91.5, where he talked about the chair he used to sit in (was the Vega studio), confirmed the guest list and joked that he was expected to get similar ratings to Masterchef.

When discussing the end-game, it seems the Maze will be a one-week event, but be prepared for more elaborate ones to come.

Being Classic Rock, the presenter asked what his favourite classic rock artist – to which he dryly replied: Sade.

YourGen returns on Sunday

Yes, now that the cooking show has finished, we can look forward to Shaun on a Sunday night again.

From the ads, it looks like Jimeoin and Ricki-Lee are amongst the guests this week. [And William McInnes too – thanks Julie!]

So, 7:30, Channel 10, Sunday. Got it? 🙂

TAYG on a plane – and back in 2 weeks

According to the ads and forums, Talkin’ ’bout Your Generation is returning on August 1st, in the same Sunday night slot – but you can expect a twist on some of the games! Watch the ad here.

In other news, if you fly with Qantas, you may also be aware they are showing cut down episodes of TAYG on their domestic flights. That should go someway to making up for all the trouble it takes to actually board the plane!

Shaun, trophy redistributor

In case you haven’t frequented the official site/Facebook of Talkin’ Bout Your Gen (Tbyg), you wouldn’t know that the call has been put out for unwanted trophies!

In the 1st season, Shaun seemed to give out his own personal trophies as a prize to the team who won that week – including one of his Logies for The Micallef P(r)ogram(me)!? He must of run out by Season 2, as a more standard trophy was awarded to the best generation.

Now it seems that old awards, medals, certificates from viewers will be the prize in Season 3 – sounds like an idea Shaun would have! Got one you want to be rid of? Read the full info.

Your Gen returns in August

According to The Age Green Guide (27/5/10), Talkin’ bout Your Generation will return to Channel Ten in August.

This was mentioned in an article about Charlie Pickering, who is the Gen X captain and a host of The 7pm Project. In the article, Micallef describes Pickering as “clever, fast and funny” and suggests that one day “he’ll be hosting a ‘Tonight’ show … where he can use all his talents.”
