The Late Show was probably our equivalent of SNL when it was good etc. For people that are a bit older like me, the Big Gig and The Gillies Report were both awesomely funny.

Though to be honest I found a lot of the other ones you mention pretty mediocre.

I am completely weirded out that not only is The US Kath and Kim being shown on commercial TV here, it is being promoted only by showing clips of the Australian show. It is almost as if they know it is so awful they will only scare viewers away if they see it, and just hope they'll watch it just out of loyalty to the Australian version.

And yeah, casting Selma Blair just completely missed the point.
