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.

this man put rove to bed and now its shaun’s time to shine! it just took everyone ages to notice how creative and funny he naturally is.
Wow, Micallef can even make Rove Live funny. It’s amazing that he went relatively unrecognised until the rather humdrum Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation. I mean, he’s always had a strong following, but not strong enough to prevent him from getting cancelled mid-season on Channel Nine.
At the high pitch, he reminds me oddly of Dame Edna Everidge.
It’s uncanny. And awesome.
shaun micallef + “talk like that” = frickin’ awesome.
sorry never mind me , i only posted that when he first started singing and it sounded faintly professional
is he actually singing?
oh my god ur totally right lol
the guy in the middle of screen in the audience at 6:15 looks a lot like rove
yeah rove was good a few years ago but now it is obvious his jokes are way too scripted. shaun is hialrious though
“spawned in the city of serial killers and churches”also to Cold chisel ,Hilltop Hoods,Douglas mawson,Lord Florey,Alexander Downer ,home to mel Gibson(at times)etc,etc.
LOL he’s too funny. he was great on TGYH.
oh, and btw. i googled epididymis.
yeh not good
Shaun Micallef > Rove
hear hear im 17 too
instead of rove and pete it should be shaun and paul
If only they’d get rid of Rove and give the show to Shaun……or Paul McDermott (Good News Week host)
they are quite possibly the 2 funniest people on TV at the moment……Rove makes me cringe with the way he mangles jokes
v. few of them
dave hughes has his moments
im 10 years old and what is this?
when u make the host laugh like one of the audience you are a great comedic guest!
He reminds me a lot of steve martin (from a long time ago) in this interview…
I’m 17 and i’m pretty sure i’m in love with Shaun Micallef!
He must be one of the most underrated comedians ever. Zeus! All the others on Rove are bland, obvious dribbling morons.
He is so fucken hot, man. Im 14 and i think the same powerpeanut1 out of this world beautiful guy, very funny to. Keep it up shaun.
Same here, I’ve found him to be a bit of alright since I was 16, now 23 and he’s still fine.
