Now that's a surprize

I don't glue myself to Channel Seven, unlike some certain individuals would stick with Channel Ten all evening.

I don't watch it all evening everyday, only on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and sometimes Sundays. I just don't find any of the other shows on Nine, Seven and SBS interesting.

I guess I'm a little guilty of gluing myself to Channel Ten. It's very rare for me to switch to another network unless there's a programme or movie I REALLY want to see. :-p

i'm going to rovelive tonite^^

i was really only looking forward to one guest - jamie oliver. but for some reason he got cancelled.
the guests now include will farell, john reily, andy lee and ben folds.
still okay, hopefully we'll haf fun ^_________^ ~!!

See, that's weird because this monring Rove was on Nova talking about Jamie coming on the show tonight. But when I went onto the official site this arvo, he wasn't listed.

I was looking forward to the chat as well.

BTW, hope u have a good time at the show!

Take pictures

it was fun...by the end of the show we all lost our voices. they get us to scream soooooo much. we sat in the front seats XD. everything is smaller than it seems on television, i was really surprised at how tiny the seats, tables, and stage were. we were really close to the stage, so close we could probably touch them. there were only ~200 audience members, seems so much more on television. i don't laugh much when i watch Rove on television, but for some reason i was laughing at everything he said during the show..hmm, maybe it was the red bull they gave us before the show . unfortunately, i couldn't get any pictures or autographs, we weren't allowed. we were thoroughly scanned so we couldn't take any of those stuff in. also by the end of the taping everyone was complaining about their bottoms, they made us sit in these really uncomfortable fold-out chairs. and there were no freebies!! i was expecting freebies .

They obviously spiked your Red Bull. How else are they gonna get the audience to laugh?

juugoolart - was any reason given as to why j oliver didnt appear?

The plan was for Jamie to go to the Rove Live studios straight after his own live show finished. Unfotunately, he was late for his show and would not be able to get to Rove Live in time.

Rove cancels remaining shows
November 12, 2006 04:29pm

ROVE McManus has cancelled his television variety show for the rest of the year following the death of his wife Belinda Emmett.

The much loved Australian actor lost her battle with cancer, dying at the age of 32 in Sydney's St Vincent's Hospital early yesterday.
In a short statement on his website today, McManus said he had no plans to return to work for the rest of the year.

"At the moment I have no plans for Rove Live for the rest of 2006," he said.

"This is a very difficult period for all of us and some time away is the best thing for me right now.

"In the meantime I want to extend my sincerest thanks for all of your heartfelt messages and condolences.

"That Belinda meant so much to so many people, genuinely means a lot to me."

Emmett died shortly after dawn yesterday with her husband and family by her side.

Emmett grew up on the NSW central coast and got her acting break when she appeared on popular long-running soap Home & Away, playing Rebecca Fisher/Nash, between 1996 and 1999.

Diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998, at the age of 24, the actor successfully underwent surgery to remove the malignant tumour, followed by six weeks of radiotherapy.

After a period in remission, Emmett was diagnosed with secondary bone cancer in 2001, while playing nurse Jodi Horner on the Seven Network's hospital drama All Saints.

Emmett and McManus were regarded as television's golden couple, meeting at the opening of Fox Studios in Sydney in 1999.

They were engaged in July 2004 and married in January 2005, at Mary Immaculate Church in Waverley, in Sydney's east.

"We're kindred spirits," Emmett told a newspaper at the time.

Emmett's last television appearance was with McManus on ABC television's Spicks and Specks Christmas Special, in December 2005.

She also was a singer, having released two albums and recently recorded a cover version of James Taylor's Shower The People, with Marcia Hines.

Details of Emmett's funeral have not yet been released.

Rove Live will be replaced with "The Best of The Melbourne Comedy Festival" tomorrow night at 9.30pm. Not surprised since there's too little notice to play anything worthwhile.

Hey, I reckon "The Best of the Melbourne Comedy Festival" will be better than any of the other comedy around at the moment.

Actually, I think that could be the end of Rove Live. I've read that its unlikely to be renewed next year.

It already has been renewed.

Well there you go then. Glad there'll be some variety on TV.
