In only its second week on air viewers are abandoning Shane Warne’s new talk show, Warnie.
Last night the show scored a dismal 486,000 viewers thumped by Rush on 936,000 and Rake on 759,000. Seven’s Meet the Parents movie scored 673,000.
Despite its earlier timeslot last night, the Nine show show fared much better when it debuted after The Block finale. Its lead in last night was 672,000 for a Top Gear repeat.
Reviews for the first show were mixed, but after last night’s outing it looks like a viewers prefer the cricketer to stick to sports commentary.
Seven Network won the night.

Channel 9 – stop using old, uninteresting and annoying personalities in your shows.
Hey Hey rates a whole lot better than this garbage. I only wanted to watch last weeks episode where James Packer was interviewed, it wasn’t even a good interview and Packer wasn’t saying anything much (although I did appreciate the little gems which he said about his father, that was nice).
I suspect last weeks episode with countless references to Victoria and AFL would have turned a lot of viewers off.
Wonder if he’ll be pulling his hair out over the bad ratings 😛
Its a shame it was actually much better than the first episode and deserved better figures than that.
Shane was and is a one-trick pony, this is the guy that admitted years ago he knew nothing about any subject except cricket (he never did get a clue about txting now did he?), and wasn’t interested in anything else either. Great choice for a talk show host!
Sorry mate, but once you stopped playing cricket you lost all interest for us.
I didnt watch it last week. Is his show done live? Its just I watched a few moments and Shane when speaking just kept making mistakes and correcting himself. The Glen Robbins interview wasnt that bad. But I turned off after that.
He really is no Andrew Denton or Parky. But I guess thats why it on in the non ratings period.
It’s not listed in my EPG for next Thursday. Guess what’s replacing it?? Two & a Half Men!!!
who cares
Did Nine promote it?
Buh-bye
Is anyone really surprised?
Howzat!
Probably produced by the same people that made Australia’s promo video for the 2022 soccer world cup.
I made myself watch about 10 minutes of the program and watched it die a thousand deaths. The co-hosts and Mark Webber looked just plain embarrassed to be there.
I forgot it was on, to be honest. Obviously, though, the show is a flop. Luckily, there are only five episodes of it, so it will be over in a few weeks. Unsustainable numbers, judging by last night’s outing.
Shane Warne, we are over you, just like the current Aussie cricket team, do us a favour, retire gracefully.
As Tony Martin said “I liked it better when it was called Poida”.
That’s an Epic Fail.
Getting sportsmen to host talk shows / variety / sketch shows / is like sending out Daryl or Bert to play in an AFL Grand Final.
last week it did 854,000. That’s a 43% week on week drop.
Shocking.
I loved the point where he asked Mark Webber for short answers and when he asked about ‘distractions’ and Mark Webber then asked what he meant Warnie said he didn’t know! Obviously he doesn’t ask his own questions or talk about them with producers before he does the show! Hilarious!
Here’s a note to any TV execs – stop using your outdated, aged and stable ‘talent’ and find yourself some new talent to do these sort of jobs. The reason people are tuning out is because it isn’t fresh, it’s the same old same-old.
Is anyone really surprised?? Anybody with a brain would’ve known this tool would be a flop on TV. I don’t know why they keep shoving him down our throats, it seems TV execs love him but the general public don’t. Goes to show how out of touch they are with the viewers!! all we want is good quality TV, it seems it’s too much to ask.
i forgot it was on last night
