There are few podcasts that could so easily be translated to television as Justin Hamilton’s Can You Take This Photo Please and this pilot of Stand Ups Sit Down will prove good conversation works in many mediums. Can’t wait for this, and I really hope it gets up as a series. From the press release:

Stand Ups Sit Down
Rove McManus and Wil Anderson sit down with The Comedy Channel

Stand Ups Sit Down dives into the world of stand up comedy and brings you up close and personal stories about the people who make us laugh. Stand Ups Sit Down premieres exclusively Friday December 6 at 8.00pm Qld time / 9.00pm AEDT only on The Comedy Channel.

In this special episode guests Rove McManus and Wil Anderson sit down with host Justin Hamilton at The Comedy Store in Sydney resulting in some hilarious tales and recollections of stand-up performances with flashbacks to previous shows and gigs.

Rove carved out his legend with Rove Live, and more recently with Rove LA on Foxtel’s FOX8. Wil cemented his reputation on the ABC with The Glasshouse and now the Gruen Transfer series. As fate would have it, both these Australian comedy legends find themselves in LA living out the next chapter in their careers.

Host Justin Hamilton is an Aussie comedian whose podcast Can You Take This Photo Please recently hit the top 20 downloads on Australian iTunes. Justin has friends all over the comedy world and can sit down with some of the biggest names in the industry.

In this Foxtel comedy special Rove and Wil enjoy a relaxed interview style while Justin treads the line between fan and friend to uncover outrageous and sometimes wicked tales.
