I went to the taping of the 2nd episode and it was really funny. it was a different experience in the audience. in the last scene, some stuff happened that they probably won't air, but I'm glad I got to see it. this show is going to be great.

Maybe NBC can put this with The Office and Kath & Kim in their "Naturalized Comedy Block" (Note the spelling for extra hilarity!).

Also, they don't choose one of many doors, because they're already dressed in costume.

Thank God You're Here is the funniest show I have seen in years. And its really good that Australia is finally exporting a television concept that other countries like.
The second season just finished in Australia a few months ago, and its so funny. Just adding to what Edward said above, I'm Australian as well and I find those serious actors are more funnier than the professional comedians.

P.S. You forgot to mention that David Alan Grier is an alum of the sketch comedy show 'In Living Color'. I think having both Daves as host and judge speaks well for the show considering their comedy backgrounds.

I'm an Australian and this show is absolutely brilliant, one of the best shows out there. The serious, drama actors tend to be the best and the wittiest/funniest, while the comedy actors and stand-up comedians don't do as well, which is the exact opposite of what you think would happen. I guess stand-ups aren't very good at true improv. Really glad that Australia actually exported a format/concept instead of importing it...that has gotta be a first.

So the last story was they were thinknig about picking the show up and this is the news that the show is picked up?

Sounds like a very interesting show - Colbert and Conan O'Brien would do incredibly well, I'd love to see David Letterman do it- he'd trip over his words, well - more than he already does.
