The Toilet Break
 The Late Show Toilet Break The Toilet Break, as the name suggests, was designed to allow viewers to use the toilet, during the commercial-free show.

Musical finale All episodes in the second series ended with a musical performance. Tony Martin would announce that Mick Molloy had organized for a major celebrity to perform, only for Molloy to sheepishly admit he had booked a minor celebrity of a similar name and usually no musical ability. The humour in Molloy's recurring "errors" in booking the performers would have perhaps run dry, if not for the hilarity of having famous Australian politicians and non-musical celebrities performing.

Charlie the Wonderdog Starring Charles 'Bud' Tingwell and the Pissweak Kids (who also starred in the Pissweak World sketches), Charlie the Wonderdog was a parody of fictitious animal shows, such as Lassie and Skippy the Bush Kangaroo where the animal always ends up saving the day. Charlie was a dog owned by Gleisner. The sketch featured purposely bad/overdone acting from the kids and usually involved a lame villain or crime (the first episode featured a 'poacher' stealing native fauna (sticks and twigs) from the bush) that had to be prevented. The actors in the skits constantly build up that their dog is a 'wonder dog' who was super intelligent and capable of foiling the bad guys plans, the dog however never had any intention of doing such things and usually had to be dragged around the scene by a rope tied around his neck and there were obvious audio clip barks (usually played when the dog's mouth was closed or when the dog was distracted by something) when Charlie had to alert the others of danger. The problems and situations that Charlie faced as the series went on got more and more over the top. Charlie also featured in a lot of other outrageous situations and was even the drummer for rocker Meatloaf in a small skit.

Geoff & Terry
 Geoff & Terry Geoff & Terry (Sitch and Cilauro respectively) were two conman entrepreneurs, who would appear regularly with a "new exciting product" or scheme. Sitch and Cilauro primarily used the segment to make Jane Kennedy, who played the interviewer, laugh and forget her lines. Jane Kennedy also admitted in the Best of the Late Show DVD commentary that she was in fact drunk during one of the live sketches. Image File history File links The_late_show_jeff_and_terry. ...
