1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Tonight seven thirty on Channel seven the Roast of John

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: Clees and the roast Master is joining us now.

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 2: Shane Jacobson, good morning.

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 3: Good morning. Indeed, I just want to reference that last song.

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 3: I want to take issue with it. To be honest,

6
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 3: I don't want to rule the world. I've got four

7
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 3: kids and three dogs and a beautiful wife and I'm

8
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 3: struggling to keep that together. So if the dog's on

9
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 3: offer to rule the world, yeah.

10
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you world domination, I'm not interested, Shane.

11
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 4: Your last banana at your placemate busy, Yeah.

12
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 3: They're all last. You've got kids. You know you're the

13
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 3: last banana.

14
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 2: Shane Jacobson.

15
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: Why are a bunch of assies roasting John Clees?

16
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 3: Because it's what we do. If someone in Australia is

17
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 3: having a go at you, they're probably your best friend. Correct.

18
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 3: That's another thing is I'll tell you how this started

19
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 3: if we rewind the clock I did. I did a

20
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 3: roast with Paul Hogan and then it came about was

21
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 3: I had to convince Paul to accept the Lifetime Achievement

22
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 3: Award along for the ward what was known as the

23
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 3: AFI Awards. Man. Yes, he didn't want it because he

24
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 3: hates being complimented. He has nowhere to store that kind

25
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 3: of a compliment. He doesn't know what to do with it.

26
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 3: And Sidney and I had to convince him to do it.

27
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 3: So anyway, we took him. He came to Sydney and

28
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 3: we put him on stage and we all praised him.

29
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 3: And when we walked, I've got a standing ovation. And

30
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 3: when we walked off, Paul said to me, what the

31
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 3: hell was that about? I said, and he said, no

32
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 3: one had to go with me. I said, not, it's

33
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 3: the Lafetime Achievement Award. No one was going to have

34
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 3: a go with you. And he said, what a missed opportunity.

35
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 3: And that was where the roast idea came from. So

36
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 3: I said, would you rather have been roasted? Yeah? Absolutely,

37
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 3: So we did one with Paul, and then Paul did

38
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 3: a movie with John Please. We all did this film

39
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 3: together years ago, called the very Excellent Mister Dundee, and

40
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 3: John's up for a gag. And so when we said

41
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 3: do you want do you want to be roasted? His

42
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 3: only request was that it wasn't PC.

43
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: Oh, of course not.

44
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: You can't have a piece right in the days. We're

45
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: having a PC roast I'm out, Well, that's boring to

46
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: stop the bus. I want to get off.

47
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. The only thing we don't do with the American

48
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 3: ones go a little bit too hard. They do.

49
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, they get pretty brutial, Well they can.

50
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: They don't know that subtle nuance between mean and tongue

51
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: firmly and cheap.

52
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, this so firm that you can bittle off at times.

53
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 4: But yeah, I see a little little nick Shane. I

54
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 4: just want to know, is there an issue if you

55
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 4: go hard on John that he does. He's renowned at times,

56
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 4: have an acid tongue, that he'll come back with a

57
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 4: killer comeback, because you don't be owned by the guy

58
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 4: you're roasting, do you.

59
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 3: No? The trick was he was fantastic. He was. He

60
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 3: genuinely said, I know what this is. We all know

61
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 3: what this is. The audience should know that I volunteered

62
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 3: for this. You know, we had a complaint when we

63
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 3: did the Paul Hogan. One one of the complaints we

64
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 3: got online, which I thought was hilarious, was they couldn't

65
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 3: believe that we had tricked this poor man into sitting

66
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 3: there and being consulted. Pretty sure, I don't have the

67
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 3: power to check a Paul Hogan or John do you

68
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 3: want to come to my place for dinner on the stage?

69
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 3: Who knew? Who are these people? Sit on this big

70
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 3: kind of throne in the middle of the stage and

71
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 3: it's not going to be a roast? Of course they

72
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 3: know what is and he was great. It is said literally,

73
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 3: in order for this to be funny, people have to

74
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 3: go for it.

75
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: You tell us, this is your life, the old foals pretense, welcome.

76
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 3: To this is the worst parts of your life.

77
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 2: So how do you know? It's a fine line.

78
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: And the thing I love about a good roast is

79
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: you really only ever see people get roasted that might

80
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: just come back at you. So there's that fear where

81
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: how do you know where to draw the line? When

82
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: you're on the roasting side, we reckon.

83
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 3: You've got a punch up. That's the thing is we've

84
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 3: picked Paul Hogan and John Police. You know what I mean?

85
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: Don't you mean? When there's a punch up?

86
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 3: Oh no, well there's that. When there's a punch up,

87
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 3: you know you've gone too far. In the midday. It's

88
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 3: when like we can't put my dear mum on stage

89
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 3: and rip into it because she doesn't deserve it, and well,

90
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 3: I go with your plan. Actually, okay, with what you thought.

91
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: When there's a punch up you might have gone to

92
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 3: have you have a big, successful target where people are

93
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 3: clearly aware that John Clees and Paul Hogan to everyone

94
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 3: on stage, were idols or theirs We've got because we've

95
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 3: got you know, we've got Steve Wis out on stage,

96
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 3: Tom Gleese and Lawrence Mooney. You know, all these people

97
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 3: on the birtumoll comes on that these are people who

98
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 3: know exactly that the star that he is, and therefore

99
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 3: it's an honor for them to be allowed on stage

100
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 3: near him to do it. Damien Power, who is a

101
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 3: comedian from from Brisbane that I think is a fantastic comedian.

102
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 3: You know, he couldn't believe I wanted him to come

103
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 3: on the show. I said, I love your style of

104
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 3: comedy and I know you'll do it well. So that

105
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 3: so they were honored to be there. You know, Limo

106
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 3: said to me the other day in a personal text,

107
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 3: is still one of the greatest honors I've ever had,

108
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 3: was being asked to strips off an icon.

109
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: You know, it must be utterly delightful to be roasted

110
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: by Rhonda birch More's fat.

111
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 3: Okay, see what she does now, just maybe she didn't

112
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 3: want to roast him. We'll see what happens.

113
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,239
Speaker 1: Okay, just quickly, you and Tom McKenny, the Odd Couple,

114
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: this is a bit of casting.

115
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 2: Any chance of it coming to Perth.

116
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 3: Well, the truth was we were going to, but then

117
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 3: we obviously you guys have taken that space being the

118
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 3: Odd Couple in Perth. Yes, at this point in time,

119
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 3: it's doing Melbourne Sydney. But the truth is there's a

120
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 3: there is a chance it's going to tour a bit more.

121
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 3: We'd love it. It won't take much to get me

122
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 3: and Todd in Perth. One. We love it. We're not

123
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 3: just saying that Todd's mum is in perfect I mean

124
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 3: so so we you know, we love getting over there.

125
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: The answer is not that we're not coming, it's just

126
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 3: not at this point. We're just stay tuned because we'd

127
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 3: love to take it over I hope.

128
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 4: So an excuse to get you guy.

129
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 2: It was a great movie. It was a great TV show,

130
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 2: but great play. I love The Odd Couple.

131
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and you know, I feel free to ask

132
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 3: me which one I'm playing? Which one? Erne but.

133
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: I'm not going to give the real grimes.

134
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 3: I think we know as I just like having people

135
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 3: think for a brief moment. Maybe it's a bit presumptuous.

136
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: And yeah, a light thing would be to ask.

137
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 4: Before you go, just a quick one, would you like

138
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 4: on We know you've got a great sense of humor?

139
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 4: Would you be okay being roasted? Would you be okay

140
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 4: with that? The inevitable ninety Kenny lines to start with,

141
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, how would you go?

142
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 3: Have you have you ever been to a Jacobson dinner?

143
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 2: And now we are back to my kids dogs.

144
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't matter how well you cook the meat.

145
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 3: It's not the most thing in that word very good family.

146
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 3: We deal We deal in it very well because that honestly,

147
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 3: that's all we do, my brother and my dad. I mean,

148
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 3: I turned it into a sport.

149
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: That's going to say, we're familiar with your brother.

150
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: So I imagine it would be roasting at ten paces Olympic level, right,

151
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: you could roast for Australia. Jacob said Australia that Jacobson's.

152
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 3: Question would be can anyone survive at dinner with a Jacob.

153
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: Here's a reality show? Yeah, because that's picture.

154
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 3: It would shock people. It'd be like it'd be like

155
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 3: the Grizzwolds, but like you.

156
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:42,280
