Carrie on Roving?
A curious moment occurred at the very start of last night’s The Project which made Dr Mumbo wonder if host Carrie Bickmore’s contract is up for negotiation at the moment.
Just as the title credits ended Rove McManus (of course the owner of Roving Enterprises, which produces the show) welcomed back co-host Pete Helliar from his break, to which Bickmore, said “do I not get a welcome back?”
Getting all defensive Rove quipped “Of course you do. You’re the hardest working member of this team, we couldn’t do this show without you,” before turning to the camera and adding “Are you listening Channel Ten? We’re just a bunch of monkeys, but this one, jeez.”
Of course it might have been a throw away line, but it is certainly the time of year for top talent to try and eke out a few more dollars from their employers.
*eke not eek
want to watch but sooo many ADS channel ten!
Rove was welcoming Pete back not Steve Price.
Much ado over nothing. About Rove, why do these hosts do this all the time. Leave a show to go to greener pastures then find it is not so green after all. they come back to the place where they started.no movement!
Julia – I was going to watch it too, but gave up after having to go through too many ads
Rove use to be funny…
Is The Project finishing up at the end of the year (as in wont continue in 2015?)
the project is crap…sorry! just not entertaining
Easier to watch it online later on – too many ads
I’d watch the show, but it clashes with repeat episodes of Seinfeld.and Friends.
