Hang Up, Don't Hang Up Rove calls a live lister from a different timezone, so the show isn't on there, and tries to make a relaxed conversation. However, during the call Peter Helliar will pull random cards off an oversized novelty phone (Of which the cards are the numbers). These cards indicate something Rove must do (e.g. Sing your words, make the live-lister say the word 'Bucket'). However, if Peter pulls out 'Hang Up', Rove must hang up and end the call without saying goodbye or even finishing the sentence.
I Want My Stuff Back In this segment, Rove helps a 'Live Lister' receive back property that they have lent to someone.

Live List Viewers can register their name, address and various other details on the show's website to join the Live List. A broadcast team will occasionally visit a viewer (the first the viewer knows about it is when they see the front of their house live on television). What happens from then on varies greatly—from performing a quick two-minute interview live from their house, to being sent away to perform a certain task (usually to win a prize), sometimes being sent as far away as Fiji, New York City or the United Kingdom. A name is a verbal label for a thing, person, place, product (as in a brand name) and even an idea or concept, normally used to distinguish one from another. ...

Ron's Review 78-year-old Ron Steward reviews a movie that is about to premiere or has just premiered and gives his comments as well as a rating out of 5 stars. Ron's Review is not a weekly segment and happens around every 3 weeks. Peter Helliar also reviews the same movie with Ron. Ron Steward is the movie reviewer on Australian television show Rove Live. ...
The main humorous appeal of this segment is the fact that Ron is quite an elderly man which has lead to a variety of jokes regarding Ron's age, which although many are at his own expense he appears to take in good humor. Another humorous part of the segment is Ron's ever recurring rating of 3 and a half stars (out of 5). In 2006 Rove conducted a semi-humorous campaign to have Ron nominated for the best newcomer Logie award. The Logie Awards are the Australian television industry annual awards. ...

Former
Not So Frequently Asked Questions NSFAQ as quoted on the Rove Live website is a fairly recent segment (2004) where Rove, Peter and Corinne are asked questions that aren't asked very often. This usually ends up with a video-skit that was pre-recorded.
Joke credits At the end of every episode there were fake credits shown with the real credits. There was a common theme for the credits each week, and that theme varied from week to week.
Two Minutes at Your House In addition to being chosen to participate in stunts and contests, "Live List-ers", as they are referred to, may be visited by the show's camera crew for a live crossover to their house lasting about two minutes. In reality, these segments are often well beyond the suggested two minutes, as the timer doesn't commence counting down until the person has been verified to be at home, and Rove tells the clock to start. If a particular story isn't finished, pet not shown, or talent not displayed, the segment will often continue even if the timer has expired. Recent segments have hinted at prior planning of the segment, by contact friends and/or family of the Live Lister to ensure they are where the camera crew will show up. A stunt is an unusual and difficult physical feat, or any act requiring a special skill, performed for artistic purposes in TV, theatre or cinema. ...
A contest is an event involving a competition at least two opposing individuals or teams, to be awarded a prize to the champion. ...
Flick Your Switch Another feature of the show is a live video shot of an area of an Australian city. Rove then gets the residents of the area to flick the lights of their houses on and off, often in answers to questions.
This segment started in 2004 when Rove pointed a camera at Kirribilli House and asked the Prime Minister of Australia, John Howard, to flick his light switch if he was willing to be interviewed on the show. When the desired result was not achieved, Rove then asked the neighbours to flick their switch if they would try to help get Howard on the show. In a recent show (19 April 2005), Rove succeeded in his goal of getting Kirribilli house to flick its switch. A special ferry filled with participants in a dress-up competition for the show, stopped on the Sydney Harbour outside Kirribilli House, the passengers chanting "Flick your switch". Rove and viewers were surprised to see the lights flick. It was neither Mr. or Mrs. Howard as they were both on an international visit at the time, but it is believed it was one of Howard's children or an aide. Kirribilli House is the Sydney residence of the Prime Minister of Australia. ...

My Charader A variation of the game charades, the title being a play on the song "My Sharona" by The Knack. The game is run by Rove and involves two teams. Formerly Peter Helliar and a guest would play on one team, and Corinne Grant and a guest on the other team. Each player takes a turn guessing the charades of their teammate and must correctly guess as many as possible within the time limit. The team with the most correct guesses wins. Charades or charade is a word guessing game. ...

Tell Us Where To Go At a viewer's request, Corrine Grant is sent on location to somewhere in Australia to witness a local event, local landmark or local personality. With the attractions being of varying notoriety, the segment is often played up for laughs more than anything else. The segment is prefilmed and presented by Grant and McManus in front of a large map of Australia (without Tasmania) lowered onto the stage. At the end of the segment, Corrine gives Rove a present from adventures, something sexual or inappropriate (or both) if possible, and a magnet is placed on the drop-down map approximately where the location was. Due to Australia being very closely populated on the eastern coast, and southeastern corner in particular, the "approximate" placement of the magnets has been evermore loosely interpreted. This segment has expectedly been dropped in 2006, with the 2005 departure of Corrine Grant.

Amazing Talents Viewers with "amazing" (or just plain bizarre) "talents" are brought to the studio and given a few minutes to display their skills. These can range from feats of skill, such as balancing lawn furniture, or natural freak-ish-ness, such as nailing a fork into each nostril. This is comparable to the "Stupid Human Tricks" segment on The Late Show with David Letterman. Late Show with David Letterman is an hour-long weeknight comedy and talk show broadcast by CBS from the Ed Sullivan Theater on Broadway in New York City. ...
Who's in the Swivel Chair? This segment consisted of a celebrity personality being pushed around the studio on a swivel chair. Each week the name of the celebrity was announced by Bruce Mansfield. “Who’s in the Swivel Chair?” was brought to an end when tragedy struck one of the celebrities as Rove remembered it in a flashback.
Writers It's also worth noting that much of the material presented on Rove is actually created and prepared by a team of writers. This team is also responsible for writing jokes that Rove tells personally, although the only acknowledgement of the writers is in the credits.
Ratings The show's ratings have been what would be considered low for a high budget program for some time. The show had not had more than a million (Australian) viewers for months. The final show of 2005 was broadcast on 22 November. The show gave away six cars, and had media heavyweights Bert Newton, Jerry Seinfeld, and Kath & Kim as guests. The show rated 19th for the day, with 797,000 viewers nationwide. On 16 May 2006 the ratings peaked over a million for the first time since 2002 where it attracted 1,110,000 viewers nationwide. It has since exceeded the million viewer mark. November 22 is the 326th day (327th on leap years) of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...
