Must admit I'm a bit scared for Warnie with his TV show tonight, I would hate to see an aussie legend be remembered for something below par to his sporting prowess.

not sure what to make of it so far, the James Packer interview was ok.
the billy birmingham skit was once again ok but if you have listened to the tape its no where near as funny.
the darren gough bit was pointless
very worried for Warnie and im one of his biggest fans but not a great start.

Excruciating.
Turned off at the first commercial break.
Not surprised though - Warnie is often forced and wooden in the commentary box.
12th Man stuff would only work as animation... but that would cost money.
Network execs don't seem to get that these most of these blokes aren't performers nor entertainers and nearly always struggle outside their area of expertise - Matty Johns is another.
Begs the question - is Parky to cricketers as Warnie is to talk show hosts?

Sounds like he will be better off talking payments for publicly spruiking for his mates and undermining the guys he doesn't like? Woops, did I say that ...

Watch it while you can - it will be the source of one of those front bar discussions... "You remember that show Warnie used to be on?" "Naaaaahhhhhh...."

Agree with the posts so far. Not a good career move. Have you ever seen whiter teeth?

There's not actually much of the great man that's real...
With the teeth whitening, botox and spray tan old Warnie's starting to look more and more like Paul Hogan every day!

His teeth are whiter, but his skin is darker. He's quasi west indian! So the girls tell me.

chat show like Parkinson. I haven't watched it but when I learnt he was interviewing people it immediately made me think of something else to do while it was on.

LOL .. Cheers mate.
I probably would have given it a go because I dont mind Warney, although it sounds very much as though I missed the disappointment.

854,000.
Lost half the lead-in audience from The Block.
Reakon James Packer came out looking worse than Warnie from this disaster...

I like the irony of Packer appearing on a Nine program now he has a substantial interest in Ch10...
