Spawned in the city of serial killers and churches in 1962, Shaun Patrick Micallefs beginnings as a motor insurance lawyer provided the perfect grounding for comedy.
Expertly equipped to handle a room full of competitive, snarling egomaniacs engaged in petty one upmanship and point scoring, he is now the irreverent and slightly crazy host of TVs 'Talkin 'bout your Generation'. Auspicious comedy beginnings on Theatre Sports(1987), The Big Gig (1989) and Jimeoin (1994) led to Micallef joining the cast of sketch show Full Frontal (1994-96), where he created popular characters Milo Kerrigan , Nobby Doldrums and a send-up of Italian male model Fabio. But Shauns own shows awaited ABC TVs award-winning The Micallef Program (1998-2001), sitcom Welcher & Welcher (2003) and the variety show Micallef Tonight (2003).
Two Logies and an ARIA later, in 2007-08 Micallef turned his hand to current affairs in the squint-and-youll-think-its-real world news regurg with oblique editorial, funny voices and music hall characterizations Newstopia for SBS. Having trodden the boards on stage, lit up the screen in film (Bad Eggs, The Honorable Wally Norman, The Extra) and TV (SeaChange, Through My Eyes) and lent his dulcet if somewhat warped tones to radio station Vega in Melbourne, the published author and all round funny guy has cemented himself as one of the most loved faces (and bodies, too) in Australian entertainment.
Now, like an action blockbuster sequel, hes back better budgeted than ever on the worlds best network in the world (of the week) ever: Network Ten. Helming inter-generational fight to the death Talkin 'bout your Generation, Micallef promises to be fair, impartial and easily bribed.

Shaun Micallef is my favourite comedian, ever. And his son goes to my school. So when I unexpectedly saw him last year at an awards ceremony, I shook his hand, had a brief conversation with and got an autograph from him. Greatest. Day. Of my life. :D

[@SquareEarth1]

Honestly, Shaun has to be one of the best comedians out there. No one knows what he will do.....very dry, left field, bizarre, off-beat. Love it!

[@yeezywesty3651]

He's a (comic) Genius

[@hallowedbethynameyahuah7705]

As opposed to Hughesy

[@styxcreek]

easily the best aussie comedian , effortlessly funny.

[@chooky42]

Watching Rove try to interview someone so far out of his league. So great.

[@presntnow]

Shaun Micallef is one of the best comedians! ❤

[@NoeLPZC]

Man, I was crying. Shaun makes comedy look so effortless.

[@AliciaMooVProducts]

I can't believe Rove had his own show for years and Shaun didn't. Outrageous. :)

[@cbfdxbxsb]

Shaun micallef is the only person who can make drinking a glass of water funny

[@danidejaneiro8378]

Shaun you are a comedy legend of the ages.

[@blordough]

this man put rove to bed and now its shaun's time to shine! it just took everyone ages to notice how creative and funny he naturally is.

[@MikeyRB77]

Dave Hughes looks baffled. His brain can't handle Micallef.

[@TheShamansQuestion]

One of the funniest interviews I've ever seen

[@Flinklehurst]

Wow, Micallef can even make Rove Live funny. It's amazing that he went relatively unrecognised until the rather humdrum Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation. I mean, he's always had a strong following, but not strong enough to prevent him from getting cancelled mid-season on Channel Nine.

[@joop69fainth44]

haha he is so helirious always has me in stitches

[@KellboRose]

Shaun Micallef is frickin funny lol. He's awesome on Thank God Your Here. He's probably one of the best comedians they have on the show regularly. Hamish rocks on Thank God Your Here too.

[@strawberryswing42]

I'm 17 and i'm pretty sure i'm in love with Shaun Micallef!

[@yellow_daffodil5689]

I love love love Shaun!!! Toooooo funny!!!!!

[@yellow_daffodil5689]

This is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

[@roveonline]

This is going to sound weird but I still have a poster of Micallef on my wall collecting dust from 2001/02. He's great in my books, definitely glad to see him hosting TAYG.

[@azer8308]

here because of Shaun, left because of Rove

[@subtemperate]

He reminds me a lot of steve martin (from a long time ago) in this interview...

[@Magestrix]

[@XxxHannahvxxX]

[@CaptainPinhead]

Does anyone know where I can get his book? Or access to any of the other facets to the diamond that is Shaun Micallef? Shaun IS COMEDY.

[@00BillyTorontoBill]

[@Chapps1941]

Shaun is July 18, Robin is July 21 Both Cancers

[@BritneyleeA]

6:14 guy in the audience looks like rove lol

[@Noonstance]

Hard to break out of a conventional interview cross promotion - but with M, you could open the door and he'd come in through the window.

[@corneliuspictures]

Gold! zis man is geniooos!

[@pazmo5]

man i miss rove !!! :(

[@JVIaplewiz]

Look at how happy Hughesy looks

[@helensarts]

@20B4ME Yes I have thought that too! Love 'em both!

[@Beasupasweet86]

Same here, I've found him to be a bit of alright since I was 16, now 23 and he's still fine.

[@carlthemightyduke]

my god he's hilarious!

[@beechinny]

haha "look it up kids....enjoy"

[@PockettDog123]

[@DerMortos76]

@MegaCamel7 No, he actually is a comedian, or supposed to be at least.

[@Teetaymwa]

cause it's fucking live

[@y901]

whats the backround on all this "I cant sing stuff. Did Rove not want him to sing/?

[@Decrosion]

y901 probably I'm getting those vibes. he probably half-ass asked him if it was a good idea with the intent of doing it the whole time lol

[@Beckstar221]

sorry never mind me , i only posted that when he first started singing and it sounded faintly professional ;)

[@Defgunt]

As seen at 00:52

[@cat17931793]

my god shaun is good-looking!!!!!!

[@iinspectra]

@Sailorsega oh, just saying, the same thing happened at this year's awards ceremony. except this year i was expecting him. i'm never leaving this school.

[@myraoyntzen932]

Can we bring rove live back please 😁

[@ghs7714]

You mean shaun micallef

[@myraoyntzen932]

​@@ghs7714 well yes him too but I actually mean the guy interviewing him ... Rove!!!

[@20B4ME]

Is it me or doesn't Shawn look like an aussie funnier version of George Clooney?

[@Vegan_Atenea]

He is so fucken hot, man. Im 14 and i think the same powerpeanut1 out of this world beautiful guy, very funny to. Keep it up shaun.

[@sezacr7]

LOL he's too funny. he was great on TGYH. oh, and btw. i googled epididymis. yeh not good :)

[@manicthrasher]

Well, i've constantly denied it, but perhaps Rove Live doesn't totally suck all the time.

[@bbqtool]

@AliciaMooVProducts He's had two shows

[@manicthrasher]

@p1CKLEpEPPERpIPER Heh, Exactly.

[@fabzistimeless]

[@chandlerbbing]

@CallMelmmature well he said epididymis... look it up kid

[@chucky110]

@00Billy I'm so glad his show is gone, it went really down hill

[@whatup9728]

I agree with all these comments. this man is brilliant. but if you haven't seen it I think this is his most brilliant piece of comedy ever. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3XRkGSOlpeUldE

[@kinesound]

That's my guitar! a 68 gibson j200 -SM can't play -FRAUD!!!!! He stole it and I want it back. Y:-)

[@Beckstar221]

is he actually singing?

[@MegaCamel7]

everyone stop hatting on rove, his the host not a comedian

[@8past8]

instead of rove and pete it should be shaun and paul

[@robertbaldie7]

Shaun Micallef > Rove

[@drukenhard]

If only they'd get rid of Rove and give the show to Shaun......or Paul McDermott (Good News Week host) they are quite possibly the 2 funniest people on TV at the moment......Rove makes me cringe with the way he mangles jokes

[@CallMelmmature]

you both like skin?

[@kazoh0lic]

Not because of Shaun. I watched it because I watch all the clips on Rove. For Rove and the others. Shaun is tiresome in his attempts to be funny.

[@kazoh0lic]

Why are you offended as if I just insulted your dad? I do not find him funny. I find Dave Hughes, Rove and Peter Helier hilarious...I do not find Shaun Micallef funny. Neither Lano and Woodley. Lame, obvious jokes. Or jokes that show the comedian crying for some attention. I hate farfetched idiotic gags.

[@kazoh0lic]

Shaun Micallef is lame to me. Sorry, but he is.
