#220: Chas Licciardello - Uniting not Dividing

Chas Licciardello is a comedian, writer and presenter. He
was a member of the satirical comedy group The Chaser. The impact
that The Chaser have on Australian TV, culture and politics is
not to be underestimated. They were fearless and there hasn’t
been anyone like them since.


Chas is the creator and co-Executive Producer of ABC’s new
entertainment series, WTFAQ. Formerly a member of The
Chaser, Chas has appeared regularly on Australian TV
over the past two decades on shows including CNNNN, The
Chaser’s War On Everything and The Hamster Wheel. Over
the last decade Chas has also pursued his love of
American politics, and amazingly made it entertaining for others
as the creator and co-host of the ABC’s Planet America.


WTFAQ has just premiered on ABC TV and ABC iview, and Planet
America airs Fridays at 8pm on ABC NEWS channel.


WTFAQ’s crack team of presenters - Chas Licciardello,
Alex Lee, Lawrence Leung, Lou Wall, Cameron James and Kirsten
Drysdale - hit the sweet spot where comedy meets inquisition to
answer the questions that have sparked curiosity in the minds of
our audience for far too long.


We chat about getting arrested for TV, pranks gone wrong, being
in the industry for 20+ years, collaboration, passion and love of
his craft, his respect for Rove, fear, being patronised, his new
show WTFAQ, gratitude, mentors and being a better person.






The video footage of this entire chat is now out as well (one day
after release)! So check them out on YouTube under Michael
Kahan
