Paul Henry Roasts “Incompetent” NZ Media, Reflects on Dikshit & Moustache On a Lady, Nudism & More!

I have been a huge fan of Paul and his work for 20 odd years so to have the opportunity to sit down with him over a bottle of Red for a long chat was a genuine pinch myself moment.
After, he left I had a moment where I thought we could be real life friends…. but then I realized it would be impossible because I’m just too much of a fan.
This was a real treat and I hope you guys enjoy it. Some of the stuff we discuss includes:
The Traitors TV show
His thoughts on the current state of media in NZ
The viral moments and scandals of his time of Breakfast TV
His friendship with John Key
Some reflections on aging and now being a grandad (and why Peppa Pig is such a great TV show)
The dynamics of his marriage to business rock-star Dianne Foreman.
Why he likes being a nudist and so much more.

Paul Henry was the OG of morning breakfast. Fuck I had some laughs from him. A shame the woke NZ media and channels tried to take him out. The Moustache Gate laugh was all time.

Paul was great on Breakfast. So random and used to have me in hysterics. His laugh when he did the Dikshit saga was hilarious

I'm so glad that you interviewed Paul. He stands out as a beacon of LIGHT. It's so wonderful to hear him.

its hard to feel sorry for all the tv networks going out of business currently when it was their choice to get rid of people like paul henry

[@Alakwe]

I like Paul,he never got big headed about his popularity, he already was that's a compliment

[@TheMarathonomahos]

Since Paul Henry left breakfast tv, it has gone to shit. TV in NZ didn't appreciate what they had. He was the funniest man on TV for ages, and he wasn't even a comedian.

[@davidfentonhancock6646]

Brilliant Dom, I'm so looking forward to listening to Paul later today. Thank you for your brilliant choice in amazing guests, but unfortunately, Paul Henry beats all others' hands down. Paul has such an amazingly rich past and deserves all the success life offers. Most of all, he's farken hilarious. 😊

OMG, I didn’t think I would ever say out loud that I like Paul Henry, but now I can say I’m a complete convert. Paul, sorry, I had my doubts before. You are actually so down to earth and funny. Will totally be watching more from you, and will try not to hold against you that your bestie is John Key 😅

Paul is great, we need him back in some form.

Living in Australia until 2019 we had never heard of Paul Henry, then we saw his wonderful free-form speech for ACT. And this interview was well worth watching. Tried "Traitors" and it looks like rubbish to us....each to their own!

Incompetence and an inability to adapt or change, in all sorts of places is killing this country. My theory that this is inversely proportional to the level of government intervention in every aspect of Kiwi life. I loved this interview, well done. Sub'd.

Or he owns a wine company or share, so he is advertising that partial alcoholism is okay. Meanwhile, the reporter is a heavy-drinking Mate from way back. But now has to be a conscious father so accuses guests of their drinking to please his controlling wife. Given NZ is so small we now all now. Paul has probably had a couple of high-strength local brews before coming in. Man of culture in all areas of life.

Thanks for that feedback. We will get into doing chapters. Then hopefully in time we can get a 20-30 mins highlights of each conversation. But it all takes time/money to build 😊

[@YEALANDS2024]

Cute video, I love Paul. The first time I ever saw him on t.v was the breakfast show. They were showing a video of down syndrome people doing sign language and he didn't realize and thought it was someone doing a terrible dance and ge was mocking them before someone told him what it actually was. I spent the rest of the day randomly laughing everytime I recalled his blunder. I watched every morning until he fired and stopped watching after that.
