Shaun Micallef interview on ROVE

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

    I’d prefer to see him hosting something he has more of a hand in, something he? can put his personality into more. I guess those shows haven’t worked too well in the past though :(
