Trial by Kyle proceeding to series
There's a lack of enthusiasm from the host, but TEN execs were excited enough to see more.

Trial by Kyle is proceeding to series, according to its main man, Kyle Sandilands.
This morning he interviewed Rebecca Gibney for Wanted and said, “Channel TEN did that Pilot Week shit and then I was the only one that got picked up. So now I’ve actually got to do something.”
After Gibney suggested it was good the show got picked up, Sandilands replied, “Not really. I don’t know why I did it.
“I did it thinking, ‘I’ll do this, I’ll take the money and that’ll be the end of it.’ And they’re like, ‘Good news, Kyle. Yours is the only show we’re picking up. Goes to air in February next year.’ I was like, ‘Ohhh…February!’
“Doing this job and then having to go in there and film all that bullshit… It’s tough. I like to lay around resting. I get no rest.”
TEN Upfronts are due on October 31.

Odious.
Good Lord, I hope this isn’t the case! If Kyle can’t be bothered doing the show then Ten shouldn’t reward him with one! Taboo and/or Kinne need to be picked as well otherwise this whole Pilot Week event has been a big waste of time, in my opinion.
Are they for real? Out of all the shows for pilot week this is the only one getting picked up? I did like it but not even Rove? I thought they were picking 3 shows?
It’s probably the absolute cheapest to produce.
Good grief….Channel Ten wouldn’t know talent or a good show if it jumped up and hit them in the face !
It’d be a crime if Drunk History didn’t go to series.
Bummer… i really really really wanted Saturday Night to get picked up
King Kyle is king at ‘taking the p*ss!’
Oh no, what about Rove?
There has to be no way that this is the only one getting picked up. Taboo, Kinne and Dave were great and the utter trash of the week gets picked up!
I now eagerly await Tens upfronts…
This (& Skit Happens) were the Pilots that I thought had no shot in going to series.
What happened to Kinne, Saturday Night & Drunk History? They were the ones I wanted to go to series.
I’m not sure who I dislike the most Kyle or Ross Cameron on Fox ‘Outsiders’. It’s beyond me how some people worship these two dills.
Surprised they aren’t picking up Kinne, didn’t that get better numbers? And Taboo would have been worth another 6 episodes, HYBPA rated shit in the first year it aired on a Sundays
Guess Kyle is just being honest just speaks his mind sometimes may say stuff but I guess it doesn’t really mean anything or he might not mean anything by it! It’s all good lighthearted fun in terms of him doing the new show, and one thing also as a long time listener on his breakfast show with Jackie O which I enjoy alot, Kyle never lies there’s no reason for him to do so, he was just being honest about his work schedule etc before- he’s a great hard worker talented man- I say congrats to Kyle on his show! ?
This is the worst of the bunch. If this is true Channel 10’s pilot week will become a punchline.
David, do you believe that Kyle’s assertion that his is the only show to be picked up, is correct, or should we wait for the upfronts ?
Wait for Upfronts. It may have been true at the time he was told, but talent isn’t always advised of everything.
“talent” ???
If he’s so keen on resting he should’ve declined the money and turned down the series. Got more money than he knows what to do with anyway.
Should have picked up Kinne instead
