"What will you do when your boyish good looks fade?" "Host a topical news quiz show" Haha Paul got owned

[@FieldOfRedRoses]

I love being Australian because our comedians are just so hilarious!

[@MiosPanties]

And Adam Hills now hosts a Topical News show.

[@maxineward1419]

but that brexit beard only enhanced his boyish good looks....

[@teganboundy9263]

@@maxineward1419 no way, the Mohawk was way better lol.

[@danesorensen1775]

It's funny because The Last Leg is a topical news comedy show (just not a quiz).

[@DaBoomDude]

he didnt say hed only do it when he lost his boyish good looks

[@CaesarTheTwelfth]

Adam Hills staying at Ross Nobles place when Brendan Burns shows up... That sounds like the most hilarious sitcom ever

[@xxxabandonedxxx]

Adam Hills makes me proud to be Australian :)

[@drivingparadox]

Miss GNW

[@fraserkatie]

I've met Adam, he's handsome! So lovely, shame he's spoken for!!!!

[@Stroija]

"Logie" "One day..." Loved how the crowd went "Awwwwwww..." :DD

[@Nomicakes]

@Judgement2029 Practically none of the jokes on GNW are set up beforehand, with the exception of the main hosts' news-story puns/jabs. Good News Week is actually that relaxed of a TV show, that the participants can do pretty much anything they like so long as it doesn't COMPLETELY disrupt the show. And then there's the Ross Noble episodes....

[@MissFotini]

He's just a freaking genius! I swear he's my favourite comedian ever. I love you Ads :)

[@Dragisvarin]

My favourite comedian from my country on my favourite show... Best thing ever.

[@KlayyJayy]

"Bring out the GIMP" HAHAHAH Pul Fiction reference for the WIN!!

[@Lwis2]

One word to some up this video: OWNED!

[@Lammington2]

This is a truly glorious clip.

[@Vote1Jimmy]

I remmber watching this i nealy pissy me pants. Nothing can beat Good News Week.

[@jubileeavenue]

@TheLastLeg Check out the 8.08 mark. Hills was asked "what will you be doing when your boyish good looks fade", and he answered "host a topical News Quiz Show. This was 14 years ago. His claims came true :) .

[@AussieEvonne]

@joshsutt I agree, Hillsy is brilliant! But I had no idea he was underappreciated or people thought he was lame (no pun intended). I thought everyone found him as hilarious and smart as I do. But I fully agree with you. He is a legend!

[@alphamone]

oh yeah, he realy loves that inflatable boy joke.

[@Mikethepanda]

So this show has had Danny Bhoy and Adam Hills... add in Ricky Gervais and Jim Jefferies and this show would be golden!

[@Roflstab]

I've watched this video countless times, and it leaves me in hysterics every time.

[@The8thKira]

This is great, everyone says British humour is the best but this is awesome!

[@QuirkyGirl12345]

OMG! I Love this video! and i love the demonic cackle!

[@franinconverse]

Dead. So much win in one vid.

[@JaybugJabbers]

Wanted to thank you for posting these several really good bits of this episode, loved seeing Adam doing the singing bits and the Couch, it really made my night. :)

[@sazzysoultv]

@mollyjbrooke 2 years later, im still lovin it lol!

[@barefootwanderer]

oh my f***ing god that hurt, my face is aching

[@sazzysoultv]

@mollyjbrooke I cannot emphasise the amount of jealousy im feeling right now!! Leg surfing to stripper music is, like...... OH MY GOSH! haha!

[@FandPrulethesky]

Adam makes me want to move to Australia :) so funny

[@am15101989]

I LOVE how he crossed his legs hehe!

[@Rodwin1980]

You stump wimmin!! Awwwrrrr!!!

[@mrsmusicstar]

what does he say: fuck you, fuck the ...? can't really hear it

[@LittleMAC78]

The lot of yous

[@shcnoozlebop]

@joshsutt people think loud, rude, stupid comedians who never really say anything intelligent (arj barker, for example) these days, and the intelligent ones who say things that you'll be able to laugh at for the rest of your life like adam hills get overlooked.

[@Smallie07]

@JELLJELL1111 There really isn't an objective in this comedy quiz show seeing that the host (the guy asking the questions) will randomly add and subtract points from either team just for fun. But the topics and questions within the show relate around current events. It's more of a comedy show than a quiz show :)

[@Tamashi88]

@NomiDestro While that's true for most of the show, for the 'on the couch' segment participants have to option of seeing the word associations before hand, and the words themselves are geared toward each individual. I’m not saying that everyone, or even Hilly, takes that rout but it is a possibility.

[@ThomasWagteveld]

So can someone explain me the point of this game? Like I never saw it but I can't really get my head to the objective for the person in the couch.

[@mollyjbrooke]

@sazzysoultv Funniest part was that stripper music was from a phone owned by member of the audience. After the show, totally got autograph and two photos of me and Adam Hills!

[@FallingDownDeep]

"what will you do when your boyish good looks fade??" "host a topical news quiz show" even now, several weeks after first seeing this it keeps making me laugh at inappropriate moment

[@nightmareluffy1000]

at the end....is he gay or was that just a joke? i.....think it was a joke but i cant tell.

[@SchwarzeWitwe2]

@NomiDestro Oh, God, then you have the Ross Noble/Akmal episode. I don't think the producers will ever do that again.

[@Grufftastic]

he is implying that Stephen sneaked a drink on the job, as he can smell it on his breath.

[@teganboundy9263]

Oh Adam, you are so fucking adorable

[@LilFly1994]

I also have a red riding hood outfit if your interested :) thats just not right adam

[@lemonicetee]

Adam Hills would never ..... stump women. That's the first thing i thought of.

[@Charlotte3105]

Gotta love Adam Hills but can you please post Tony Woods on couch....thank you!!!

[@xDinomanx]

@swingingsimon A shame they don't show it there, it's a bloody good show.

[@irishgodfatherchris]

we based this on Have we got news for you in case the format seems familiar

[@foccha]

can someone explain that whiskey joke that Stephen k Amos cracks up about?

[@Emikero]

@sazzysoultv 85 votes up. I think people agree with you. Lolz

[@timcampo]

@hlcooper What makes you say that? No offense, just curious.

[@downedcoyote1]

2:19 Using it. It will be the next big addition to American slang

[@am15101989]

@joshsutt yesssss!! Well said!! Got to love intelligent humour!!!

[@DieselDoggMX]

bad combo Adam Hill + Ross Noble= NOT GOOT!!

[@sharkhart93]

the 3 that dislike this are inflatable boys ;)

[@sazzysoultv]

haha.. well.. ok.. i stand corrected. :P

[@caddiehurst2621]

I love the inflatable boy joke

[@elliottrams4life]

Adam hills is hilarious. He is funnier when he's on tv in England. This Aussie tv show is awful.

[@teganboundy9263]

You've got to be English because we love Adam in Australia, everything he does is fucking amazing.

[@TheBoredGeorge]

@Mikethepanda I'm afraid it's over mate.

[@SeeThinkFall]

Weirdly...they do look good together lol

[@nerdzizzle]

what does the whiskey thing mean?

[@karl0000000000000000]

[@youthoghtiwasdead]

[@ThomasWagteveld]

@Smallie7 Ah, like that, thanks :D

[@bubble992]

OMG THATS AMAZING!!! so funny! love it!

[@ScottFromScotland1]

hahaaa Paul's face at 4:08...

[@ThingMaBobJimmy]

@joshsutt what's an oxymoron?

[@LadyLunarRae]

That was BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!

[@Tuimeltje]

So funny! Gotta love this guy.

[@toowoombaangel]

Laughing so hard my side hurts

[@Blondejc]

@sazzysoultv i disagree- it not nice its SEXYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[@sazzysoultv]

@Blondejc haha!... defs!

[@foccha]

oh gotcha thanks for that

[@HardRockingDiiva]

What episode is this?

[@MsSerena1986]

he does!

[@uncreativeranter]

So people excuse cripples no matter who they are, whether Macartneys wife or Adam Hills. That's the Aussie underdog way. Still he does tell good jokes to make up for the fact that Aussies would love any cripple who tries.

[@Blondejc]

I love Adams laugh at 7:00seconds
