farnsyJohn Farnham is set to make an appearance in the Hey Hey its Saturday reunion.

Farnsy, who is currently on his Live by Demand tour, was a regular on the show, including at the time of his Whispering Jack comeback.

His appearances have been so numerous he is one of several ‘unofficial’ members of the Hey Hey family.

The news on Farnham’s inclusion was leaked by host Daryl Somers on radio.

Farnham is performing on September 29th in Brisbane, but he has no public gig on October 6th, the night of the second reunion show.

  2. Is TV Tonight onto the latest change of night of the return of HHIS? According to Facebook they will now be showing the reunion specials on the Wednesday night, instead of Tuesday.

    Slap bang up against the premiere of “Celebrity Masterchef” …. best of luck in the ratings Daryl!! I’ll be watching, only because I can’t stand Anna Bligh on the Masterchef!

  4. The fact that this guy keeps coming out of retirement cheapens the experience for the people that went to his shows who genuinely thought he was going to retire. I suppose he does deserve to be on the reunion show, however if the Hey, Hey it Saturday show revives (Shudders!) hopefully new talent will be allowed to perform regularly and those spots not hogged by people who should have retired gracefully years ago.

  5. Jesus. Have you seen the horrible ads Nine have been running for this? “You’d be un-Australian to miss it!” Yeah, that’s how Nine is plugging this horrible idea, by invoking patriotism… Pathetic. As for Farnham;’s inclusion, that just ads to the sense of a bunch of has-beens desperately trying to relive their glory days, and those glory days weren’t especially glorious to begin with. Just proves how out of touch Nine has become.

  7. mikeys: it’s not a “remake” it’s a reunion. Of course they’re going to have the old regulars and guests on the show.

  9. i do remember him always being on but no where near as much as Rhonda Burchmore playing Celebrity Head-i may be mistaken but wasn’t there a period she was on every other week?
