The Chrissie Swan Show

Shaun Micallef paid Sam a lovely compliment, only to be played off by the Keyboard Cat, eventually; Guy Grossi embraced being called the ‘Dipper’ of fine dining; you called us with your jokes; Chrissie relived an awkward childhood moment involving other people’s parents paying for lunch; and Browny went to the NBL.

We were apparently the only show in Melbourne who turned up to work today, and Sam mustn’t have got the memo, because we had to get Dilruk Jayasinha in to take his spot! Luckily for us, Dil is always ready and waiting in his car downstairs at 5:45am every day! We caught up with the brilliant Danny McGinlay, and the newly ‘picked up for TV’ Harley Breen!

What a week! We had fun, but Sam, as usual, was miserable.

We had the most awkward interview with Scott Disick in history; Matt Preston told us about George Calombaris’ wedding; Tony Martin gave us the lowdown on Marlon Brando’s piano demands; Deano read us our horoscopes; horse racing royalty Harry Herbert dropped by; and Sam read us his diary!

Catching up with the Kardashians offsider, we asked Scott about his favourite Hollywood treats, what he's looking for in his Melbourne Cup Carnival experience, and of course, some fashion tips for Deano. He chatted to us happily, but was he subtly giving us some feedback on how the chat was going when he started yawning? It seemed to be catching, as well...

So many guests from all over the world today! Improv comedy legend Colin Mochrie (Whose Line Is It Anyway?) called in from Toronto; surprise guest Julie Dawn Cole (Veruca Salt from Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory) called in from the UK and Chrissie had all of the questions; author Damon Kitney went in depth about his new book The Price of Fortune: The Untold Story of Being James Packer; Jack h...

It's Chrissie Swan's favourite movie, and it's one of the all time classics of cinema: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and we surprised Chrissie and the boys with a chat with the original Veruca Salt! Julie Dawn Cole has written a book called I Want It Now!: A Life on the Set of Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, and we wanted to ask her literally everything!

We didn’t really do Halloween, but we did still have fun! Matt Wright the ‘Outback Wrangler’ came by and told us about his massive crocs; journo, TV host and author Annabel Crabb dropped by; Rob Sitch was a last minute guest as we were simply stuck for people, and; Deano played the keyboard cat sound so confidently that Chrissie lost her mind. Listen up!

Judith Lucy came by! Griff Rhys Jones came back! We played Dead or Alive! Deano showed us his newest ‘impression’! Chrissie went to an impromptu trivia night! Sam made sure we heard that he’s the ‘star’ of Have You Been Paying Attention? and we had the best ‘pre-Halloween’ we’ve had in literally years.

Wish Happy Birthday to the one and only Jonathan Brown, on his 37th Birthday AND also his twin, our Executive Producer Liza, born the very same day! We spoke to The Block winners Hayden & Sara about their epic win, and got a look behind the curtains with Norm & Jess. Titus O’Reily came by to tell us all about his scandalous new book, and Celia Pacquola doubled down on Sam being a ‘weak dog’. Liste...

Look, not everyone liked Hayden & Sara from The Block. It's not news, it's just a fact. So when they won the show last night, taking home a whopping $545k profit, not to mention the additional $100k prize for making the most, the reviews on Twitter were mixed, even if it all looked OK amongst the teams at the auction! So, when you're the show's 'villains', and you're well known for shooting your m...

Via a diary, you can get an insight into the small, petty, bitter mind of that angry, small, petty, bitter man that is Sam 'bitter' Pang.

It’s Friday, and we couldn’t be happier about it. We spoke to Christie Whelan-Browne about Twelfth Night at MTC; Tony Martin came by; Sam wrapped up last night’s Bachelorette; Peter Rowsthorn was brilliant; Deano pitched; and Sam Diaried! We’ll see you Monday!

Sam is all about The Block, and he proved how extensive his knowledge of the show is when Foreman Dan came in; Tim ‘Rosso’ Ross had a steamy royal encounter; Nick Cody had a terrible gig; we polled you on Chrissie’s best ‘characters’; and played another classic round of Who wants to be a Vietnamese millionaire? Listen up!

The innermost thoughts of a sad, lonely, bitter man. It's been a bit of a week. But Sam Pang takes notes. Not Browny level notes, these are all about himself...

We’ve got royal fever! Deano tried to meet them, we talked to the royal tram driver, and Joel Creasey got to meet them! Tony Martin dropped by; Ash Williams ran late because he was having too nice of a shower, but revealed a ‘Bachelor’ bombshell that we were really upset about! Deano brought us a killer new game, and Sam’s Diary was back again!

The master of mimicry is back, but which celeb is Browny impersonating today! We spoke to Anne, the principal of the school in Dubbo the Royals visited yesterday; Titus O’Reily talked AFL trade week; Browny gave us a sneak peek into his upcoming new book; you called us to offer us a tidbit, and we asked you about your most embarrassing injuries!

Jonathan Brown. AFL legend. Broadcaster. Family Man. Hilux Driver. First it was 'Life and Football', a gripping insight into the man, the mystery, and let's be honest, he's got no idea who wrote it. Now, he's a jaded veteran of the radio industry, his kids are a little older and there's no more football. So what else to do but write another book. We got a sneak peak into the audiobook of the upcom...
