Studio 10 is celebrating a mega milestone: a whopping 2,000 episodes. The celebrations commence Monday, 26 July at 8.00am on 10 and 10 Play On Demand.
Hosts Sarah Harris and Tristan MacManus, along with Angela Bishop, Narelda Jacobs, Daniel Doody and Denise Drysdale will ring in the special occasion with a week of fun and frivolity.
Also returning is Jessica Rowe, Kerri-Anne Kennerley, Denise Scott and Joe Hildebrand.
No show underwent a bigger facelift in 2020 than Studio 10 with a restructure leading to the departure of Studio 10 co-hosts Kerri-Anne Kennerley, Natarsha Belling, and Joe Hildebrand.
Last year Network 10’s morning show begun a new era with Studio 10 mainstay Sarah Harris and Irish import Tristan MacManus.
After taking his place on the couch, Mediaweek spoke with MacManus about working on Studio 10.
When asked how this new career direction came about – previously he had been a judge on the local format of Dancing with the Stars – MacManus admitted that he wasn’t too sure himself.
“I’ll be honest with you, I really don’t know, it kind of came out of the blue a little. It came at a time where I went back to landscaping and then I got a call to see if I would be interested in doing a screen test. I didn’t know what it was for, but I went in and talked about some news stories.”
He said one major calming influence for him after being thrown into a foreign territory was long-time Studio 10 host Sarah Harris who MacManus said had been great for him.
“Sarah is great, she knows the gig, she knows the drill and we are getting to know each other, and I think that is the major thing. I had an instant trust and comfort with Sarah which is what you need and crave in any new position.”
2000th Episode Celebrations Commence Monday, 26 July At 8.00am. On 10 And 10 Play On Demand.
