Mick Molloy joins Nine’s Olympic team

It's a case of third time (un)lucky for Mick Molloy, teaming up with Channel Nine for its Winter Olympics broadcast.

It’s a case of third time (un)lucky for Mick Molloy, teaming up with Channel Nine for its Winter Olympics broadcast.

Twice his shows have been dumped by Nine: The Mick Molloy Show in 1999 and The Nation in 2007. During the former he infamously urinated on the set.

But Molloy will join Eddie McGuire during Nine’s prime-time highlights broadcast, Vancouver Gold.

He is the second member of TEN’s Before the Game to be appearing on a rival network, after Peter Helliar was announced as joining Seven this year.

In 2009 Molloy starred in The Jesters which has a second season approved by Movie Extra.

He has also reportedly explored a new sports panel show format Between the Lines alongside Eddie McGuire and Rachael Finch.

And then there was this golden moment….

  1. Eddie is bad enough as the host of the winter games. Absolutely terrible. I just bought a new tv. Now his big stupid head is even bigger. He brings more humour as he attepts to show interest in these sports than Mick molloy does in his pathetic 5 minute package.

  2. Just correcting a factual error: He didn’t urinate on the set of the Mick Molloy Show. It was simulated as part of a prerecorded sketch in which he is pretending to have been drunk during a rehearsal earlier in the day. The claim that it was real was generated as part of the tabloid media beat up at the time.

  3. Oh no, I am a bit behind the news, though I can not beleive Eddie is the main guy what a turn off. Now that confirms my foxtel subscription. That is such a same give the games back to seven.

  4. @ dan! freedom of speech!!
    if u wanna waste money n pay tv..go right ahead…..
    all i say to u is this… dont judge a book by its cover…. yes maybe he wasnt great in the past..so maybe he has changed..who knows….. but by all means please waste your money on foxtel!

  5. thankyou david for letting us know about this because now i will be getting the extra channels on foxtel i cant stand mick and i am sure i am not the only one

    @evan
    please do that but make sure the snowball is huge

  6. Oh nine… Where art thou sensiblity…
    Mick has to be one of the worst people for almost any show, let alone a 3hr Primetime show with EMcG. Both of them though, is almost enough to make me go watch SBSTwo for entertainment!

    Off to the land of Seven/Ten I go!

  7. Sorry, but are they out of their minds? Molloy works, in a super droll kind of way, on Before The Game, but what’s he going to be doing at the Winter Games? Making fun of all the lycra clad bobsledders and skeleton runners?
