The Jokers are back for a new season, and this time the pranks and punishments are being taken to a new level. The boys have roped in some famous friends including singer songwriter Amy Shark, UFC heavyweight fighter Tai ‘Bam Bam’ Tuivasa, and Olympic and Commonwealth Games Diver, Sam Fricker. What could possibly go wrong? The Inspired Unemployed Impractical Jokers have to do and say what they are told in secretly filmed challenges . If they refuse, they lose. At the end of the episode, the joker that loses the most challenges takes on the ultimate punishment. Lifelong mates, Jack, Falcon, Dom and Liam receive commands through an earpiece and hidden cameras capture the chaos. This is the show that revels in The Impractical Jokers’ social awkwardness, as they are instructed to do and say the outrageous.
Thank God For Classic TV! Thank God You’re Here is based on a simple premise: get a group of well-known performers and make each walk through a door into a scene without any idea of who they are or what they’re walking into. The only things they can depend on are their abilities to make everything up for the next five minutes and cover their tracks as they do it. There’s no getting voted out and it showcases a performer’s versatility as well as their abilities to lie, deceive and… well… basically bull@#*t! Hosted by Celia Pacquola and judged by surprise comedy legends to gently critique each week’s performances.
Tough-love Taskmaster Tom Gleeson is back, along with his loyal sidekick Tom Cashman, both ready to put our newest batch of comedians through their comedic paces. Competing for Tom Gleeson’s cranium in gold trophy form and stepping into his “house of fun”, is none other than Aaron Chen, Concetta Caristo, Mel Buttle, Pete Helliar and Rhys Nicholson. But in Tom’s house, it’s Tom’s rules… which means anything can happen. Will our new comedy legends play by the rules and be up to the task? From epic winks, flying discs and puzzles with cumbersome costumes, our unforgiving Taskmaster has a whole new bag of random, ridiculous and rambunctious tricks up his sleeve to test the wits of our season three line-up. Who will have what it takes to become our next Taskmaster Australia champion?
The Amazing Race Australia: Celebrity Edition is taking the race to a whole new level of extremes. From the big cities to the middle of nowhere, our star-studded cast will be pushed out of their comfort zones and into the unexpected.

You’ve goat to me kidding me… Why are our celebrities giving up their lives of luxury for high-stress, high-stakes drama you ask? The winners of The Amazing Race Australia: Celebrity Edition will score themselves $100,000 for their chosen charity. Set across a spectacular backdrop through South America, Africa, and Asia, nothing about this trip is plane. And of course, with them every step of the way is our host with the most, Beau Ryan.
