Rove McManus and Peter Helliar made a short trip across the ditch to New Zealand to help Rove’s NZ broadcaster TV3 launch their new season.

Rove and Peter were pretty funny as hosts. They were flown in especially for the event and enjoyed making jokes about NZ, such as the need for a CSI:Whakatane (of course he couldn’t resist the ongoing Whaka- joke), playing a drinking game while watching The Biggest Loser (each time someone cries you have to take a drink), Helen Clark being a woman’s name and One Tree Hill being a let down. They also tried coming up with slogan ideas for TV3 such as “screw you TV1″ and “Better than number 2’s”.
