REVIEW: John Campbell and Duncan Garner need to be on the lookout because New Zealand’s most “shocking” breakfast night TV show is back.
Yes, five years after its last broadcast from Auckland’s Target Furniture Hypermart, the “more furniture than guests or ideas” current affairs / lifestyle show is back to ask (and answer) “the tough questions.”
And, in an ambitious (and hilarious) opening episode, The great late breakfast (Sundays at 8.30 pm on Duke, 9.55 pm on Tuesdays on TVNZ2 and broadcast on TVNZ OnDemand) decided to address an election special. Naturally, chaos ensued.
Where else would you see our Prime Minister caught up in a three-way conversation about prostates? Former national leader Simon Bridges asked how to capture the vote of Swingers and the current opposition leader perched precariously in a swivel chair “hot seat” in the store’s office seating and stool department?

As the three struggled to express their political points and their personal pitches: Collins reveals he likes blues music and didn’t have to fire David Clark, Ardern waited for American unity after going to the polls and urged us to vote for “whoever that you”. trust” – Late at night Hosts Jason Hoyte and Leigh Hart seemed to gleefully delight in throwing lots of cheer-inducing curveballs at them.
While Ardern may have heard others claim to have recently met Norman Kirk at a Koru Lounge, as Hart did, he probably never had to compete for attention with a rogue drone and a couple of cassettes.
Similarly, Aucklander Bridges confessed that he had to reject Hart and Hoyte’s claims that he was born in Lumsden, raised in Feilding, trained as a midwife, and loved furniture upholstery, while Collins was caught in the crossfire of a clichéd battle that culminated in Hart’s claim that, “You have to skin some cats to make an omelette.”
It’s certainly a comedy that’s not for everyone, and it can be extremely goofy and occasionally childish (one leak involved a gardener with Stubbies problems), but it’s also hard not to laugh like a drain at the duo’s antics.
Despite what it may sound like, these guys know what they’re doing (Hart has been making us laugh for nearly 20 years, since he first appeared as a snail trainer on SportsCafe) and they know the funny thing. As Hart himself said before Late at nightthe first season in 2014 (after it began as a segment in MoonTV), “We can make being highly ineffective look effective.”
While the format is essentially the same as it was, there have been some changes since 2015. They have now embraced selling furniture, actively encouraging the removal of their setting, while also having to cut back on former co-host Jeremy Wells, due to his other activities on the network.
In the first episode, he was essentially replaced by Jack Tame, although Hoyte and Hart quickly realized that while the Questions and answers host “was a good boy”, he was not quite ready for his new Hard chat segment.
Fans of his infamous infomercials will be delighted with his return, with sponsors Maxibon rated “bite, not lick,” and Kim Crossman recruited to sell Faecal Storm 5000 as a cure for “explosive diarrhea,” while jumping on clothes. bed Department.
And, just to cement its current status, there was even time for a cross with the fabrics and upholstery department to speak with a bewildered former All Black captain Kieran Read about yesterday’s Bledisloe Cup game.
If you are tired and suspicious of the 15 hours of breakfast television offered by the two main television networks every week, The great late breakfast It could be the bite-size parody you need.
For fans of the sustainable fishing show Screaming reels (where no fish were harmed or caught) and the Alternative Cricket Commentary, welcome to the climax of your year’s comedy.
