Mark Humphries: the man who ruined TV news forever?
Description
When writer and comedian Mark Humphries joined the Seven Network earlier this year to host a satirical segment for the 6pm national news bulletin, the announcement was met with endless headlines and heated social media commentary.
So why has three minutes of weekly television been the subject of so much debate?
Sitting down with the Stellar podcast Something To Talk About, Mark opens up to host Sarrah Le Marquand about what he calls “hostility to new ideas”, whether he still dreams of hosting the Logies - and gets serious about what it means to be a man, and a divorced dad, in modern Australia.
You can catch Mark Humphries on The 6.57pm News every Friday on the Seven Network.
Mark, satirist James Schloeffel and comedians Charles Firth and Veronica Milsom will tour nationally with The War On 2024 Annual Comedy Gala from November 27.
Something To Talk About is a podcast by Stellar, hosted by Editor-In-Chief Sarrah Le Marquand.
