After heeding Today Tonight's complaints about the outrageous
waste of taxpayers‚ money on their show The War On Everything, the
Chaser team has decided to take some time off from TV in the first half
of 2008. The Chaser will adopt a purely user-pays approach next year,
mounting a national tour of a new live production, The Chaser's Age Of
Terror Variety Hour, from March to June 2008.
Like The War On Everything, the Variety Hour will include a diverse
range of short segments, some of which will be kind of okay-ish. It
will combine sketches, songs, presentations and interactive audience
segments ranging from the satirical to the just silly, and be
constantly updated to incorporate up-to-the-minute insensitive gags
about the latest celebrity deaths as they happen.
War On Everything co-conspirators Andrew Hansen, Chas Licciardello,
Julian Morrow and Craig Reucassel will appear in the show. Chris Taylor
has opted not to tour while under the cloud of a fatwa issued by the
Irwin family, and will remain in an undisclosed location developing new
television projects for the team. His irreplaceableness will be
demonstrated by the inclusion of Dominic Knight, one of The Chaser's
founders and a writer for the War.
The Age Of Terror Variety Hour will be receiving formal
complaints from audiences in Adelaide, Ballarat, Brisbane, Canberra,
Cairns, Darwin, Geelong, Hobart, Launceston, Melbourne, Newcastle,
Parramatta, Perth, Sydney and Townsville.
The Chaser team is still in negotiations with the ABC about future TV
shows. Their negotiations with commercial networks of late have mainly
been over Supreme Court injunctions.
