Shaun Micallef’s Taking the Piss

Press release time!

Shaun Micallef’s Parents’ Evening Coming Soon To 10.
 

Australian comedy royalty Shaun Micallef is returning to 10 with a brand-new comedy show, Shaun Micallef’s Parents’ Evening, based on the hit UK format created by Ranga Bee for ITV. And because nepotism is alive and well, Shaun has enlisted his son, Gabe Micallef, to co-host alongside him!

In this new cross-generational game show, it doesn’t matter what you know. It matters what your mum or dad think you know.

Here’s the deal. Each week, three well-known Australians team up with their lesser-known parent or child. A topic is presented, and the parents have to guess how many correct answers their grown-up kid will know.

If they get it right, they’re cruising toward victory. If they get it wrong, they can enjoy a very awkward drive home.

Family pride, bragging rights and a very real pile of cash for charity are all on the line as Shaun and Gabe steer each family through the chaos.

Shaun Micallef said: “I’m very much looking forward to working with 10 on a show that will either bridge the intergenerational divide and bring families closer together or blow up that bridge and drive us all further apart.

“I’m also looking forward to working with my son Gabe, who moved out recently and I don’t get to see that much.”

Gabe Micallef said: “What an exciting opportunity it is to work with my father! I look forward to discovering whether the Australian public finds our relationship charming or deeply strange. Either way, I’m grateful to 10 for giving us the chance to conduct this important father-son experiment on national television.”

Packed with laughs, surprises and more than a few bruised egos, the series proves that no one knows how to push your buttons quite like family.

We know that when Micallef quit Mad as Hell he said he wanted to help a new generation of talent, but we never thought he’d go quite this far.

Oh, and there’s a promo – on instagram for once, presumably Gabe was in charge of that: https://www.instagram.com/p/DaAnwYTDcql
