Lighting quick wit. Acerbic and droll. Gra Gra was indeed the King of Australian television.

Couldn't agree more.. he's as sharp as a tack, making it come across as completely seamless.. perfect natural timing.. his own natural abilities honed thru a couple of decades of live telly made him the master.. his subversive humour set the standard for me after watching him as a kid.

What a guy! A classic TV lover here in Scotland! Graham, Don & Bert were the biz. They don't make 'em like that these days.

They are all gone now. No shows or artists like this anymore. The ones on tv today have no talent and are always putting their two bobs worth in about their political views

Kennedy being quite candid & mostly earnest here, which wasn't common for him when being interviewed.

Don was smart enough to not engage in a verbal battle with Graham. He would have lost.

So glad I got to watch News Show and Coast to Coast. That was my experience with Graham. So what if his jokes were 20 years old? Gave my generation a chance to hear them!

What you're seeing here is decades of experience in front of live TV cameras. This man knew everything there was to know about television, and working an audience, and it's on full display in this clip. It might not be evident here but he had great respect for Don. Graham had a tendency to either like or loathe his contemporaries, there was rarely ambivalence. You were either good or you were shit in Graham's (somewhat prominent) eyes. Years after this in the late '80s, when Graham was pioneering late night television news, he declined a Logie Awards invitation, only to find out later that Don and Ernie Sigley (who Graham couldn't stand) had been involved in a backstage scrap after the telecast. Graham's fabulous quote was that if he had known he would have seen Don hit Ernie, he would have paid to attend.

So many words but you're not actually saying very much and he didn't pioneer late night television he simply accepted a job

@James-kv6kb it's called relating an entertaining anecdote, I'm not responsible for your inability to appreciate it. Also, you're factually incorrect. Graham had expressed a wish to front a TV news show, since being paired with veteran reader Ross Symonds on a week of late morning 7 network bulletins in the mid-'80s. News then became the only TV genre that interested him. 9 didn't somehow randomly create a late night news concept and offer it to Kennedy. The whole project was totally Kennedy-driven. The man was a high rating legend and called whatever TV shots he wanted.
