The Hundred with Andy Lee returns to Channel Nine and 9Now on Tuesday, February 7, at 9.00pm after Married at First Sight, with comedians joining 100 viewers Zooming in from all over the country to tell us what really makes Australia tick.
Handpicked to represent the makeup of Australia, “The Hundred” will be standing by to be polled live and provide the stories behind the stats as three comedy panellists compete to see who knows Aussies best.
Whatever topical story has gripped the nation, The Hundred with Andy Lee will be finding out what Australia really thinks about it.
Host Andy Lee will be joined by comedian Mike Goldstein and media personality Sophie Monk, who will feature in five episodes this season. A selection of comedians will round out a trio each week to share their take on the hot topics at hand. They include Ross Noble, Tommy Little, and Dave Thornton.
In the first episode we’ll see how many of our Hundred have hooked up with a relative, what percentage of Aussies are siding with Harry and Meghan, and find out the main reason that Aussies lie.
Mediaweek spoke to Lee about how the show has evolved since season one.
“Like a lot of shows that are working, the DNA of it has remained the same, which is finding out what Australians are feeling about different topics and celebrating some of the unusual bits of behaviour.
“Things have become more polished. People know what they’re doing. Performers come on the show knowing the show really clearly, so they just hit the ground running and it feels like you understand the band before you get to the Scout hall. You can be in sync, as opposed to when you’re early on and people are working out how to perform the show and we’re working out what the show is. It takes a little bit more time for everyone to be in lockstep.”
