Seven relents on Kyle & Jackie O special

Seven confirms its one-off special with Kyle and Jackie O, warning us it will air later this year.

Seven has now confirmed its one-off special that sees Kyle and Jackie O bringing their radio partnership to television once again, this time in A Night with the Stars.

There have long been rumours that Sandilands wanted a primetime chat show.

Clearly testing the waters (and appeasing the desires of a talent show judge during contract negotiation?), this special will air “later this year.” Which is probably a euphemism for “once the ratings have finished.”

Their last on-screen series together was the final season of Big Brother.

Points to the publicist who wrote this one:

Top-rating radio partners Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O will bring their unique, fun and often controversial style to prime time, in the new chat-variety special Kyle and Jackie O’s A Night with the Stars.

To air later this year, A Night with the Stars will see Kyle and Jackie doing what they do best – memorable and outrageous celebrity interviews.

On their weekday Southern Cross Austereo radio show, Kyle and Jackie chat to the biggest names from the world of entertainment – and A Night with the Stars will continue that tradition. Guests will share their intimate, humorous and often different points of view with Kyle and Jackie.

To be filmed in Los Angeles, A Night with the Stars will air soon on Seven.

  1. With Jackie O involved it has to be a one off special.She’s killed off every other show she’s been host of within weeks.
    Poor Yasmin is still waiting to get married.

  2. Ah geez. I’ll be removing my fingernails that night. Clearly Seven had some excess money they needed to get rid off. Or it will be so subsidised by Austereo and cross-promotions it will make a profit before it airs.

  3. I won’t be watching as I’ll be doing other stuff with Craig, JB, Paul and Dan… Seriously, ‘A Night With The Stars’? A little bit of vomit just came up.

  4. It’ll be a ratings failure, guaranteed. Every time the pair do their radio show from LA for the Oscars they always loose audience share. Australians simply don’t like LA showbiz culture shoved down their throats. Come to think of it, Australians don’t like Kyle & Jackie on TV, period!

  5. @D@GP: Uh… Sandilands hates Rove. I’m not sure why, I’m sure in that brain of his he has a reason. I can think of several reasons not to like Rove, he’s irritating for one but anyway…

    Hm, I’m sitting, doing nothing, watching nothing, listening to nothing whatever night that is on and I will still be more entertained by the thoughts going through my head than the brain zapping stupidity that will be on display during this show.

    No doubt Kyle, Brian and Kyle’s 5 fans (The ones in his head) will get together and watch.

  6. I am really sick and tired of things needing to be “LA Based” – Rove LA, this, breakfast gossip mongers, Hamish and Andy too in NY.

    Seeing bad Australian talent interview expat Aussies and C list Americans who have no idea who they’re talking to is insulting to my intelligence.
