Ryan on Rove???

[la twinkle]

Anyone hearing this rumour 19th of august or something???
And Programming Rage which seems very likely!?

[Sydneyfan]

What the.....?????

I've heard the Rage rumour, but not the Rove one. That would be great - although Rove isn't the world's best interviewer.

[Sydneyfan]

Where did you hear the rumour from, btw?

[Shelfie]

Its not a rumour, its confirmed - he will be on Aug 19th
It was on the Frontier Pre-Sale email.

Great, thanks for the info.

[Shelfie]

No worries!
I hope that he does get some chat time but I think they will just be playing.

Yeah, it only occurred to me after I posted the comment about Rove's interviewing style that they would probably just be musical guests anyhow.

Too much pre-order excitement I think, haha.

[la twinkle]

I've heard the Rage rumour, but not the Rove one. That would be great - although Rove isn't the world's best interviewer.:lol What the....
Yeah I heard he's gonna do "TWO" Seems abit out there to be true. But we'll see.

[la twinkle]

Yay sorry was out the room after I started replying, thanks shelfie. :upyours

[la twinkle]

I haven't been watching too much lately. Although last time I saw abit I noticed he seems to be having majority of his guests on the couch for a reasonable duration, including musicial guests, Instead of just the last five where they play a tune and he shakes their hand.
Anyone watch rove enough to know if the shows been altered in a permanent way and this is becoming the norm? 'cause if this is the case an interview (really chit chat) would seem likely.

[sicottem]

what is rove? im lost...

[Shelfie]

I dont know, I saw it when Mika played and they had him on the couch but last night Maroon 5 played and they only played. Who knows!

Rove is an Australian TV host, he was on Jay Leno not so long ago - you can watch it here to see who he is

[Sydneyfan]

Rove Live is a weekly talk show on Network Ten, and is syndicated on TV3 in New Zealand. The show involves celebrity guests, publicity stunts, variety segments, local and international comedians and live bands.

It's like our version of Letterman or the Tonight Show I guess.

Australia SO needs a better live music program on free to air.
*longs for the days of recovery and the 10:30 slot*

Agreed. :upyours

[Gennibean]

Who thinks JTV might interview him as well?

I'd love Rage Guest Programmer slot!

[la twinkle]

Who thinks JTV might interview him as well?

I'd love Rage Guest Programmer slot!:upyours Me too! I could definetly see a JTV interview. I think he'll program Rage again and if he's doing Rove it's prety much certainty. :pimp

[Starlite]

JTV would be fantastic! I still haven't heard any Easy Tiger on Triple J though. Has anyone else?

[la twinkle]

JTV would be fantastic! I still haven't heard any Easy Tiger on Triple J though. Has anyone else?I dunno, stopped listening to the radio. No help sorry J.

[Sydneyfan]

Does anybody else wish he were doing Good Morning Australia with Kerri-Anne? :lol

No, probably just me......:downyours

[Gennibean]

Stamos style...hell yeah! The housewives of Australia will not know what hit 'em :lol

[Starlite]

Does anybody else wish he were doing Good Morning Australia with Kerri-Anne? :lol
Ryan Adams "tired and emotional" on Aussie TV? :lol

[Sydneyfan]

He could snuggle up to KAK on the lounge and ramble on about jetlag and Elvis Presley being fat. :rock

[benmoore88]

ryan isn't emo enough for triple j apparently...
i doubt he should sweat it - they play rubbish by and large

[littledarlin]

JTV would be fantastic! I still haven't heard any Easy Tiger on Triple J though. Has anyone else?

I havnt heard triple j for ages so tuned in last weekend.
they played New York New York, however the J's have certainly let themselves go saddo

[littledarlin]

the rage guest programmer slot will be ace, just imagine how many good tracks he will unearth

[Shelfie]

HAHA! Yeah, the last one was an interesting combo of tunes. Everthing from Mariah Carey to The Strokes.

[Starlite]

Billy Ocean!

[Shelfie]

I am going to try and see if I can get in the Rove audience. I just called in a favour! I need to find out before I book flights though because that means that I will have to hit Melbourne a day earlier than I had planned.

[Sydneyfan]

Apparently, in a radical move, he will be performing "Two" on the Rove stage. Other guests will be Megan Gale (that should cheer Ryan up) and Hamish and Andy.

[Gennibean]

Hahaha. What make you think he will perform 'two'.

I'd like him to be interviewed and do that '$20 in 20 seconds' thing they do. Ryan's pretty quick witted and will probably come up with some quirky answers. Either that or he will tell Rove to f#@% off. Be interested to hear his answer of 'Who would you turn gay for?'

I'd love to go to the taping but it means missing out on my Goddaugters birthday. Fly in Monday instead. See you all there!

[Sydneyfan]

Haha, that would be very funny. I think Ryan would just get confused and possibly have a meltdown. Although I would really like to know who'd he'd turn gay for as well.

[Starlite]

I watched Rove for the first time in ages last week, and the musical guest (Darren Hayes) was interviewed. I don't know whether that means RA will be interviewed or whether it was a special case, Darren being an Aussie.

The Rove website doesn't really say sadly. It just lists RA and TC as guests and says which song they will be performing.

[Kevin McF]

I <3 rove

[Sydneyfan]

Marcia and Dicko will also be guests on the same show. I might make a cup of tea at that point.

[Starlite]

Ugh, they were on last week too. What, are they regular guests? :downyours
Marcia actually said that the person she waould turn gay for was herself.

[Sydneyfan]

Marcia actually said that the person she waould turn gay for was herself.

:lol I wonder if Rove asked Darren Hayes the same question?
"Umm....pretty much anybody Rove".

I guess it's a Channel 10 cross promotion with Idol. Blah.

[benmoore88]

grrr. it annoys me when foreign artists always seem to get intereviewed but such annoying corporate tv types. I bet rove has no idea who ryan adams is...

i'm always left wondering after such shows - what kind of impression these international artists must leave Australia with of our TV / radio etc.

[Sydneyfan]

I said this before, but I would seriously have loved Denton to interview RA. That could have potentially been fascinating.

[benmoore88]

agreed

[Starlite]

:lol I wonder if Rove asked Darren Hayes the same question?
"Umm....pretty much anybody Rove".

:lol Actually, Rove asked him for whom he would turn straight (Dazza's hubby was in the audience and got lots of screen time). His answer was Drew Barrymore (or was it Natalie Portman?).

[Gennibean]

I said this before, but I would seriously have loved Denton to interview RA. That could have potentially been fascinating.


Ahhhh the possibilities. I went to the taping of Denton when Dave Grohl was interviewed. He went for a good 45 mins and a lot was cut out. Dave was a great interviwee though. I think Ryan may be a little self-conscious in those situations. Strangely, I think he can come across as very shy at times.

[Starlite]

Yes, definitely.
Now that he's clean and sober, he can't even hide behind drugs.

[Shelfie]

I know for a fact that some TV shows did look into interviewing Ryan but one in particular lacked faith in their host being able to make something of the interview considering Ryan's reputation as being a difficult subject. Shame. I would love to see him get some talk time while he is here!

That is a pity. That's why I think Denton would have been great - he's intelligent enough to avoid the cliched question and he'e genuinely interested in learning more about the people he's interviewing.

I still remember that funny/sad interview with Rene Rivkin - totally revealing and compelling.

[Shelfie]

Oh yeah! A Denton interview would have been the shit! I loved his one with Michael Stipe when he was here last. He is such a great interviewer, well researched and genuinely interested in a good story.

[Whiskeyfan]

I forsee some awkwardness, y'know that syndrome like at the logies where overseas celebs don't know what the fuck is going on and look confused, I could see ryan looking like that a some point on Rove. Yuuuuck!

[Sydneyfan]

bump to remind Aussies that this is on tonight.

I just checked out the hostel's TV - nice big and new :upyours

[la twinkle]

Just played Two about 20 minutes ago, no interview or anything. saddo
Still RA and Cards on network australian television pretty cool. Seemed very mellow and laid back. :upyours

[Sydneyfan]

Hamish and Andy at the fire station made me laugh.

[ishellmay]

Megan Gale has ginormous hands.

[Sydneyfan]

Megan Gale has ginormous hands.

:lol I noticed that too. She is a giantess actually. And I didn't know she was dating Andy. I need to read more gossip mags obviously.

[Starlite]

It was kind of disappointing that they just played their song. No interview, nothing.
