AGT+DenyerChannel Seven’s Grant Denyer wants his very own Hey Hey it’s Saturday.

According to the Herald Sun, Denyer is so dead keen on the idea of a variety-style show on Saturday nights he will make it part of contract negotiations with Seven.

The project would be a cross between Hey Hey Its Saturday, Rove and Ellen, with skits, pranks, overseas talent and visiting guests.

Denyer has more recently hosted Australia’s Got Talent and It Takes Two and filed for Sunday Night. Whilst both Red Symons and Molly Meldrum are Seven properties (that is, Meldrum is on a network contract), it’s optimistic to think they would appear on any form of copycat or hybrid show.

Meanwhile Hey Hey producer Pam Barnes also produced AGT with Denyer.

This isn’t the first time Denyer has been involved with a variety project.

In July 2008 he copped a broken rib while shooting a variety pilot for Seven. While impersonating Lleyton Hewitt he slipped and hit the bull bar of a car.

Of the project he said: “I can’t reveal too much,” he said at the time. “It’s a wonderful variety show, and it’s been a long time since Australia’s had one of these.”

Tonight the somewhat accident-prone daredevil re-voices the series Destroyed in Seconds for Seven.

  1. Im just having a giggle reading everyones comments and i have come to the conclusion that perhaps grant should just go back to focusing on his race career!
    btw,imo he was one of the best v8 commentators/reporters and id love to c him back reporting from pitlane! Much rather c him in pitlane than turning into daryl 2.0!!

  2. I have the unfortunate displeasure of watching that pilot that Grant made last year – it was an awful, unfunny hour of television that would have killed Grant’s career for good. Hmmm…. I suspect some of you will wish it had made it to air! 🙂
