SHOW CONTENT Much like a typical variety show, each episode of ''Micallef Tonight'' featured a number of interviews with celebrities bookended by regular segments (such as "Shaun on his High Horse", which featured Micallef ranting against Pop Culture while literally straddling a fake horse) and a musical performance. However at the times the show also delved into the realm of Parody , such as introducing guest Jamie Durie with a long-winded opening only to dismiss him immediately afterwards, and requesting that guest Alison Whyte hold an inflatable fish while Micallef himself danced on his desk, in an otherwise unrelated interview, purely in order to provide material for the commercial for the following week's show. The $10.90 Chicken Parmigiana was a mocking guest which appeared all throughout all 13 episodes. Other in-show shenanigans included stealing musical guest Delta Goodrem 's shoes as she played the piano, deliberately leaving actress Melissa George , live via satellite from Hollywood , on hold for over five minutes (she had guest starred in a supersized episode of '' Friends '' earlier that night, effectively delaying the broadcast of ''Micallef Tonight'' by several minutes), and requesting singers insert random words in to their musical performances to prove they weren't Lip-syncing . Notable examples were David Campbell inserting the word " Lamington " into his performance and Amiel inserting the word "dolphinarium". Micallef would end each episode with the line "See you in the Monkey House Australia!" and the show would usually close with a musical performance from Greenslade that was never quite what the audience expected; such as a rendition of Billy Joel 's Piano Man played on the Guitar . Micallef previously parodied the variety show format with 1998 's '' The Micallef Program ''. EPISODES See Also: List of Micallef Tonight episodes DVD RELEASES |
