Trying to find the right vehicle, and then this one turned up. So it was a great opportunity to finally do something,\u201d Molloy said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Robbins called his pal the \u201cringleader\u201d who \u201cmade the show happen from the ground level up\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In the crafting process, Molloy went back to look at how classic celebrity roasts were conducted \u2014 the kind with harsh, career-destroying jokes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI was watching old fashioned roasts on the TV. They\u2019re so brutal, made up of one liners at the expense of the guest,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cIt was great to drag the idea of a roast into a modern format, and the modern format is, generally, \u2018we\u2019re here to help\u2019, and \u2018this is a counselling session\u2019, and \u2018we\u2019re on your side\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n So how do you keep a celebrity smiling while bringing up their most PR-unfriendly moments? Play good cop, bad cop.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThe best way to describe our relationship on-air is good cop, bad cop. We\u2019re trying to get to the same point, but are using different kind of ways of getting there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n What Molloy loves about Robbins is his commitment to the bit, no matter what.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cIt\u2019s pretty easy to sit there and just peel off some material, but no one commits like Glenn.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The show\u2019s recipe calls for talent who can give it back just as good as they are served it. The star of episode one, Carrie Bickmore, did just that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cCarrie was fantastic,\u201d Molloy said. \u201cShe was giving as good as she got.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n And she managed the feat under some trying, but hilarious circumstances. Through undisclosed investigation tactics, Molloy and Robbins present their guest with some of the people closest to them, who know all of their secret flaws.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Monday\u2019s episode sees Bickmore\u2019s own son air his humorous grievances, prompting a response that Molloy said was one of the best moments in the eight-episode series.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cShe turned on her own son, which for me, is one of the highlights,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Don\u2019t come away with the impression that the roasting is light, there\u2019s a good char to every angle explored. And, despite what they\u2019ve been through, Robbins and Molloy confirmed all the guests are doing okay in the aftermath.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThere was never an attitude of, \u2018I\u2019m gonna get got\u2019. The (guests) knew they were in safe hands,\u201d Robbins said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n All that being said, the pair do have a contingency plan if one of their stars suddenly drops out mid-season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI already have about five hours of footage on Glenn I could drop within 24 hours\u2019 notice. I think he\u2019s probably got the same, so it\u2019s probably in case of emergency \u2018break glass\u2019,\u201d Molloy revealed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Maybe someone should drop out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Robbins and Molloy aren\u2019t strangers to interventions. They\u2019ve both been the subject of one . . . and they wouldn\u2019t mind holding a real intervention for each other.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Robbins self-confessed that his behaviour on golf courses should be attended to.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI am prone to do things on a golf course that if the club found out I was doing them, I would probably struck off,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI\u2019ve done bad things in golf carts. I\u2019ve done things for bets. I\u2019ve placed golf balls in places that golf balls aren\u2019t meant to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n But Robbins said Molloy has a lot to answer for in regard to his own behaviour in the vicinity of golf courses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThere was a time when we were on a golf trip in Tasmania,\u201d he said. \u201cOf all people, I had to share a room with Mick Molloy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI tend to go to bed about 10.30pm and Mick, he lives an enjoyable life when it comes to a golf trip. I just remember being in my bed, all tucked up, and Mick got back to the room about 2am.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThe only way to get out to the balcony for a fag was past my bedroom. So I was awoken by Mick standing naked, smoking a cigarette outside the door. I go, \u2018Mick I didn\u2019t sign up for this\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Molloy said he got a good talking to from friends while spending a couple of years in Sydney.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI remember when I went to do radio in Sydney for two years, my mates accused me of becoming a Sydney wanker,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI reckon it\u2019s an Australian tradition to let your mates and your partners and your friends know when they\u2019re getting a little ahead of themselves or they need a slight correction.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Robbins, who says he gets a mini intervention from Molloy every time they see each other, must agree.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n What rings true is that both Robbins and Molloy had an epic time making Celebrity Intervention, and it certainly translates in the show itself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI had an absolute ball doing it, and the great thing about working with Mick is that you are in the safest hands,\u201d Robbins said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThere were times when I went \u2018what am I doing\u2019 but I loved it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Both Robbins and Molloy are thrilled to be putting up a new show, which they said is not an easy feat in 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cWe\u2019re just pretty excited that it\u2019s made it to air, it\u2019s hard to get anything up that\u2019s new,\u201d Molloy said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cWe did eight shows. We were exhausted at the end, but we felt great, and we\u2019re glad we did that, and we hope it works.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cWe\u2019ll wait and see. As always, the audience will decide.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Glenn & Mick\u2019s Celebrity Intervention premieres Monday April 20 at 7.30pm, on Seven and 7Plus.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source thenightly.com.au \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you think Glenn Robbins and Mick Molloy are starting an \u201cintervention\u201d TV show to avoid being grilled themselves, you\u2019d be wrong.
