Future of satirical comedy show remains in doubt as Micallef says decision is ‘entirely down to me’ and that a ‘younger’ host could be found
A decade of political satire is coming to an end, with the ABC confirming that the 15th season of Shaun Micallef’s show Mad As Hell, beginning next week, will be the last.
“The ABC and Shaun maintain a great working relationship and we look forward to continuing to work together. Shaun will be back with the new season of Mad As Hell which starts on Wednesday 20 July and will also appear on the ABC as part of other projects next year.” He later added a clarification: “Okay, it is true we’ll not be returning next year, BUT this is entirely down to me, okay? After 11 years and 15 seasons, I just felt it was time for someone younger to take advantage of the resources and opportunities on offer. I’m turning 60 in a week for fuck’s sake.”
