Show Summary

Premiered: Sep 01, 1999
Status: Ended

Considered Australia's answer to the likes of Leno, Letterman, and O'Brien, Rove McManus presents a live, weekly, Logie-winning variety/talk program that is broadcast nationwide to Australia and New Zealand.

Regular segments on Rove Live include Petespace, Hamish and Andy and RyDeas. The show also makes creative use of its database of willing Live List members who volunteer to have their lives interrupted on air.

And let's not forget a guest list comprising the biggest names Rove can lay his hands on, each and every week. Musically, Rove Live consistently presents some of the most cutting edge Australian and international acts.

Co-host Peter Helliar continues to provide the laughs, whether by reviewing DVDs, showing off his PeteSpace or just interrupting Rove to hit on a guest.

2007 saw the start of the Hamish and Andy segment, RyDeas, PeteSpace and the continuation of Carrie Bickmore's News Week.moreless

Rove's YouTube channel suspended

By Kate O'Shea, Jun 09, 2009

One can only presume that Monday morning in Rove's Melbourne-based HQ consists of uploading Sunday's show segments to Rove's widely followed YouTube channel "givesyouwings". Little did Rove's team know that their bout of Mondayitis was about to intensify with Sunday's… more

"Good"

By alfearox, Aug 26, 2009 Report Abuse

It just isn't the same without Carrie Bickmore at the news desk and the disappearance of Help me huesy.

Also the calibre of star it is showing has dropped, yes we know the PM is Kevin Rudd but don't get him in every second week, it drives us nuts. Who really wants to listen to a guy that you make fun of in Kevin Rudd P.M. Why do we have to wait every two weeks to see Hamish and Andy as well. It just irks me that everything has changed so drastically. I guess 10 years is something to be proud of, just don't muck it up.moreless

All he seems to do is sledge the liberal party these days. I don't even vote but ROVE obviously has an axe to grind

"Terrible"

By dkongster, Sep 21, 2008 Report Abuse

All he seems to do is sledge the liberal party these days. I don't even vote, but ROVE obviously has an axe to grind.

Ever since John Howard declined to appear on his show he has been making anti-liberal party jokes.

This week he kept gassing on about Brendon Nelson. It's a shame because the show has potential, and most talk shows have some form of politician-bagging, but Rove just seems to carry on a bit too much about it and it makes the show boring.

When the Liberals where in Government he sledged them, and now that the Labor party is in Govt he still prefers to sledge the liberals. It all seems a bit one eyed.moreless

"Superb"

By awesome21, Jun 16, 2007 Report Abuse

rove live is one of the funniest shows ever. Every show always has somemothing funny. rove is a very funny guy, and peter(i dont know how to spell his last name, lol) is also a funny dude, and the comedian husie is really funny, his material isnt over the top, just normal everyday life, and its quite funny. i like how this year rove live has changed, i think that sundays is an awesome day to show it, and im missing gray's anatomy, becuase im watching rove live, its well worth it, and i like pete's space, its all really funny.moreless

"Perfect"

By SWhitmore, Jun 14, 2007 Report Abuse

Great Show, I absolutely love Rove, he is super cute, and very funny. Especially love David Hughes and his little insecurities about himself. Very down to earth, very funny, and a little boy at heart. I love the fact that he is so sensitive about his looks. I love listening to him on NOVA in the morning. The Sunday night show is a great new format, love all the segments. Well done Rove on the new format, and for making us laugh on a Sunday night, beats all those crime shows that seem to have inundated our TVs. Keep us laughing.moreless
