Tony Martin to take over Mick Molloy’s slot

The Sydney Morning Herald blog tells us that Mick Molloy is departing his Triple M radio slot and will next year be replaced by Tony Martin, who had a 9am Get This slot.

Making his exit in typical good humour, Molloy’s official comment yesterday was: “The relentless grind of a one-hour show has finally taken its toll. The midday starts were brutal, often playing havoc with my sleeping patterns. It’s definitely a younger man’s game.”

Presumably Molloy will find something to keep him busy in the world of film and TV interests.

BoyTown is out now

Unfortunately, I just left Sydney as Boytown was being released so I’ll miss out on seeing it. I have, however, listened to several of the tracks thanks to Tony Martin’s podcasts – Dishpan Hands being my favourite. If you don’t know what Boytown is all about – well, it’s about a boyband making a comeback – you’d better check the official Boytown website out yourself here. It appears that this month, several hundred people have flocked here looking for Boytown torrents. Sorry, you won’t find anything like that on this site but you will find a community of huge D-Gen fans – so enjoy!

Speaking of Tony, thanks to Scott for providing us with a scanned article of Tony Martin’s favourite comedic paraphernalia

Damn, I’m still in Glenrowan!

Thanks SO much to Lucas Buck for sending me this picture of the Glenrowan ‘attraction’. Lucas writes: “When a friend and I went up to Sydney to watch Australia qualify for the soccer World Cup we stopped off at Glenrowan and took this picture from outside the infamous business portrayed oh so well by Tony & Mick. I thought it might go okay on the ChampagneComedy website.”

Too right. Click the image for a fuller version!

Socceroos hunt for Late Show episodes

Thanks SO MUCH to Dufflecoat Supreme for finding this rare mention of The Late Show in the Age:

Mark, Santo Show

MARK Viduka [of the Australian World Cup team, the Socceroos] is another who will return home with good memories, albeit not necessarily from his field exploits. On one occasion during a player-media get-together he spotted TV personality Santo Cilauro. Obviously a fan from way back, Viduka asked Cilauro, who starred in the 1990s comedy sketch The Late Show, did he have any copies of the show with him in Germany. Told that he didn’t, Viduka responded: “Come on Santo, you must have some, you must. The boys really need to see some.” Obviously disappointed that Cilauro couldn’t help, Viduka walked away but got just 20 metres before he turned back and yelled: “Santo, you know the sketch where you had the guy who was your uncle? That was really funny.”
