Recap: Shaun on In Gordon Street Tonight

April 28, 2012April 28, 2012 Stuart 2 Comments

Appearing on the Season finale of Adam Hills In Gordon Street Tonight, Shaun was his hillariously rambunctious self.

He gave Adam a bottle of Adelaide water, which was splashed all over the set, tried to take over the show, played an old Roger Explosion clip and sang The Lady is a Tramp, in memory of Tony Bennett, who he believes was beaten to death at the end of the Logies…

Watch it here. See Shaun backstage before/after the show.

Unfortunately, he didn’t share much about Mad As Hell. But it was still pretty good watching.

Quite often actually, as Shaun has produced a number of shows at the ABC Studios in Elsternwick. But in this case, he’ll be on the series final of Adam Hills In Gordon Street Tonight next Wednesday at 8:30pm on ABC.

We expect there to be some talk about Mad as Hell… yippee!

Laid Series 2 starts May 2nd

April 17, 2012April 17, 2012 Stuart 1 Comment

Returning for a second season is Laid, a black comedy written by Marieke Hardy and Kirsty Fisher. The focus of the show is Roo, a woman who finds out that all her previous ‘partners’ are dying, one by one, and with her friends, tries to determine why.

Shaun played the character of ‘G Bomb’ (ie. Roo’s gynocologist) in the first series, appearing in two episodes, and is back for the second season. How often he’ll appear, we’re not sure, but Kirsty assures us 4.75 times – or thereabouts.

Laid Series 2 starts May 2nd at 9pm.

In response to Shaun’s joke about In Gordon Street Tonight leading to the ad break in the Gone with the Wind episode of TAYG, Adam Hills and Dave O’Neil played a joke with Shaun in retribution – Watch it here. (Thanks Micallef Tumbl(e)r)

Shaun Micallef’s Mad As Hell is coming

Pre-production has began on Mad as Hell, which is Shaun’s anticipated return to his more tradition comedy show format. It will focus on weekly events, similar to Newstopia, and air on the ABC. The show will feature a cast of about six, and the first episode is set to screen on May 25.

Shaun causes havoc on Ten Breakfast

March 15, 2012March 10, 2012 Stuart 2 Comments

When will shows learn not to have Shaun on live? Well, it’s good for us, as usually it’s a lot funnier. On Ten Breakfast the other week, Shaun was meant to debate the generation divide, but ended up reorganising the studio and being generally hilariously disruptive.

Watch it here, starts at about 1minute in.

Who does Shaun think he is?

March 11, 2012March 9, 2012 Stuart 6 Comments

Shaun certainly wants to know, and we’ll find out soon with the season 4 première episode of Who Do You Think You Are?

Delving into a family past he was never told much about, Shaun goes to Turkey to discover that his great-great-great-grandfather on his mother’s side had a brush with one of the most famous women of the 18th Century, Florence Nightingale.

But it’s the things he learns about his father’s family, originating from Malta, which are the most surprising and bring his relationship to his father to a new level.

In some unaired information, Shaun also found that part of his family tree ended up in Perth. He great, great, great-grandfather had seen out his last years in Perth, when the colony of WA was only 50 years old.

The episode airs Tuesday March 27th at 7:30pm on SBS.

Shaun’s secret acting role

March 7, 2012March 7, 2012 Stuart 1 Comment

A few would have noticed Shaun eating bananas at various times on recent episode of TAYG. According to TV Week, Shaun is losing a bit of weight for an upcoming, secret dramatic role for Channel Ten.

Shaun says he has “a project coming up that I can’t talk about, where the person I’m acting with is stick thin, and in my normal state I’d look too big against them.” So far he’s lost 9 kg, so watch him chisel up as the season continues.

In a separate article on TV Tonight, Shaun revealed the new drama came out of an idea from himself and Jason Stephens, and will star Kat Stewart. He won’t be writing it though, preferring to concentrate on the acting side. Shooting looks like running from late August up until the end of the year, making 2012 another busy one for Shaun.

TV Week has guessed that the secret role is linked to a telemovie about Julian Assange. What do you think?
