In a jokey teaser<\/a>, that didn\u2019t announce either a title or a concept, Molloy promised a show that would \u201ccapture the imagination of a generation\u201d. I don\u2019t know if the resulting series quite reaches those heights, but Glenn & Mick\u2019s Celebrity Intervention<\/a> may well turn out to be just the intervention free-to-air TV needs.<\/p>\n Mick Molloy, Kate Langbroek, Carrie Bickmore and Glenn Robbins on the first episode of Glenn & Mick\u2019s Celebrity Intervention.<\/span>Seven<\/span><\/p>\n This new series is a celebrity \u201croast\u201d with a bit of This Is Your Life<\/i><\/a> on the side. It\u2019s a fast-and-loose studio couch show in which smart-aleck comedians pile on snarky one-liners featuring cameos by colleagues, friends and family members who, if you can believe it, just happen to be among the studio audience or passing by the greenroom. Add a few stunts, digressions and unexpected diversions, and voila, we have a somewhat mad, hard-to-categorise, eight-part comedy series that\u2019s actually very funny.<\/p>\n The set-up is that Mick Molloy and Glenn Robbins have identified a handful of celebrity pals who, for the sake of their flat-lining careers and questionable personalities, need reputational rehab. Robbins sets off to bag that week\u2019s sucker and bring them back to the studio, where Molloy and a colleague who knows the subject well are waiting on the couch to deliver the tough-love intervention.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/a><\/div>\n As for the grill itself, think geeky photos from high school, audition reels for shows that have been scrubbed from resumes and social media posts that have come back to haunt. There\u2019s no teary reminiscences, reunions, ghosts of the past or discoveries of unknown children (though that gag does get a workout in one of the episodes). The entire show walks a fine line between embarrassment and uncovering a career-ending gaffe, but consistently ensures no one is hung out to dry.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not just the guests who are in the firing line. Most succeed at turning the tables on the presenters, who are prepared to get as much as they give having submitted their own outtakes and cringy photos to the cause. That\u2019s certainly one of the show\u2019s secret herbs and spices. The other \u2013 which the opening episode with a feisty Carrie Bickmore<\/a> makes clear \u2013 is the willingness of the subject to play along, to embark on a performance on their own terms. This is an equal-opportunity roast in which everyone shares the mirth.<\/p>\n The show is very much on brand for Molloy\u2019s self-deprecating, blokey but genial comedy which he has finessed over the years on The Front Bar <\/i><\/a>and Have You Been Paying Attention<\/a>?<\/i> And like those shows, this makes a virtue of a \u201ccheap and cheerful\u201d aesthetic and budget.<\/p>\n Mick Molloy and Glenn Robbins host new Seven series Glenn & Mick\u2019s Celebrity Intervention.<\/span>Seven<\/span><\/div>\n It may be a shaggy, unclassifiable concoction \u2014 at least one of the four episodes available to preview is certifiably nuts \u2014 built on the promise of mouthy comedians mocking each other, themselves and the boisterous industry in which they work. It\u2019s a much-needed addition to a free-TV roster that apart from news, sport and game shows has little to show for itself<\/a> other than ageing franchises and reality behemoths that have run out of tricks.<\/p>\n Glenn & Mick\u2019s Celebrity Intervention airs <\/b>Mondays at 7.30pm on Seven and 7Plus.<\/strong><\/p>\n You have reached your maximum number of saved items.<\/p>\n Remove items from your saved list<\/a> to add more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nGlenn & Mick\u2019s Celebrity Intervention <\/b>\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/b><\/h3>\n
