The Russell Gilbert Show
The Russell Gilbert Show is a short-lived Australian comedy show hosted by Russell Gilbert in 1998. It was partially a spin-off from "Hey Hey It's Saturday", where Gilbert had risen to prominence. The show's writers included Kevin Blond, Paul Calleja and Andrew Maj. Seven episodes were filmed and aired. The show was successful and beat "Ally McBeal" (Channel 7) in the ratings. In 2000, a similar concept was attempted: "Russell Gilbert Live", which was followed in 2001 by "Russell Gilbert Was Here!". Both new shows were relatively short-lived. The Russell Gilbert
