S01E05 Voice Troubles, New Shows & Worst Celebrity Guests

Summary: The numbers are in - TV Blackbox episode five is by far the most recent episode available. At the all-new time of right now we cover off the latest big-name scalp of #MeToo, talk about a raft of new show announcements and cast our eye across Ten's new programming strategy of just saying "yes". Each week a washed-up TV Producer (Rob McKnight), a TV writer and executive (Dan Bennett), an EMMY award winner (Jay Cagatay) & TV enthusiast and commentator (Steve Molk) take you behind the scenes, wade through the pr spin and launch into the reality that is the Australian television business. On this episode: • CBS announce Chairman Les Moonves is out effective immediately. • Grant & Chezzi Denyer sack their manager (now they're back on top). • Jay asks if CBS really did decide Ten's newsreaders need additional voice training. • We're about to get a new OTT streamer - Ten All Access. • Sam Newman and Harvey Silver face off over a car space. • Rob & Jay talk about News Corp's EMMYS Red Carpet plans. • Seven boldly lines up a new sketch comedy program ORANGE IS THE NEW BROWN. • PARTY OF FIVE gets renewed for some reason. • New shows announced: • TOMORROW TONIGHT - Charlie Pickering & Annabel Crabb (ABC). • SUNDAY NIGHT TAKEAWAY - Julia Morris & Dr Chris Brown (Ten). • DANCING WITH THE STARS - Grant Denyer & Amanda Keller (Ten). • The final series of HOUSE OF CARDS sans Kevin Spacey. • We take a much closer look at Ten's new programs with Dan and wonder aloud if they are on the right track. • It's a special mailbag segment as Jay asks Rob to reveal who were the WORST guests he had in his time on STUDIO 10!
