Sad TV Man
You remember him from your childhood. You don't? Oh. Well Bob Garfunkel was
Australia's favourite TV host back in the noughties.
Who could forget nationwide sensations such as 'Are You Smarter than Shane Warne?', 'Can You Build a Bird-Seed Dispenser Faster than my Grandpa?', and of course, 'Cushions!'. Those were the golden years of Australian television.
But everything dies. No-one watches commercial TV anymore, and Bob has faded into obscurity. Until now.
The man you once loved is back, with nothing but a few other talentless hacks; Kate, a socially repressed producer assigned to deal with his nebulous fantasies; and a dream... to host the best damn telethon Australia's ever seen.
The story of Bob and Kate and the death of commercial television.
Sad TV Man: a comedy (of sorts).
