Encyclopedia > The Mick Molloy Show

The Mick Molloy Show was a television program that appeared on the Nine Network in Australia for just 8 weeks during 1999. In its short time, the program caused controversy, with the host, Mick Molloy, simulating drunken urination on the set in the very first sketch of the show. The premise of the show involved some mates gathering together on a couch on a Saturday night. It was aimed as a variety-type show, with comedy, movie reviews and musical performances featuring acts not normally seen on commercial television. Assisting Molloy in this live-to-air two hour shambles were his comedy cronies Tony Martin, Judith Lucy, Bob Franklin and Dave O'Neil, bandleader Paul Hester and The Largest Living Things, film critic Leigh Paatsch, Puppetry of the Penis star Simon Morley and Channel Nine stalwart Pete Smith. A cult figure also appeared on the show, with Arthur Serevetas (billed, as is often the case, as 'Arthur Penn') playing the role of Mini Mick, a miniature version of Mick Molloy, in the vein of Doctor Evil's sidekick. Some the show's guests were Glenn Robbins, Mark Little, Alan Davies, Stephen Curry, Ben Folds Five, Spiderbait, Mach Pelican, Colin Hay and Stephen Cummings.
