This is the ChampagneComedy.com podcast, and heading our channel tonight...
From 1992 to 1993, the ABC broadcast 40 episodes of The Late Show, consisting of Melbourne Revue graduates who got their first taste on TV as The D-Generation. Originally a low-rating comedy show that was live across Australia full of cheap jokes, cheap props and bad acting, the show gained a cult following and inspired many comedians and performers to help where they got to today. Also the fans. Definitely the fans.
The fan owned and operated site 'Champagne Comedy' has been online in some type of form since the early days of dial-up in 1996. Thanks to the evolution of the internet, 'Champagne Comedy' continues to pay tribute to the cast and crew of The Late Show, Frontline, The D-Generation and their other projects they create to make us all laugh.
** We scrutinise and overanalyse every joke and everything, so don't say we didn't warn you. **
Join the dedicated fans on this podcast as we raise a glass and toast champagne sketch comedy!
Note: this podcast is not associated with ABC, Working Dog and other associates.

"Who the hell is Jeff Smart?"
These were the words uttered by one Santo Cilauro during the end credits of the first ep of series 2 of the D-generation in 1986. Finally nearly forty decades later, his story can finally be told!
Prop Maker for The D-Generation and the ABC, Jeff Smart talks exclusively to the Champagne Comedy Podcast about his time working behind the scenes with the comedy team, rubbing shoulders with some amazing stars, and how he rescued a costume that became infamous with a well known sketch on The Late Show.

In celebration on receiving the Longford Lyell Award, the Working Dog team had a Q&A at the AACTA Festival on Saturday 8th February 2025, held at HOTA on the Gold Coast.
Representing the Champagne Comedy Podcast, Matt attended the chat, along with 500 others, as well as regular contributor Adele K. Thomas. In this bonus episode, we wrap-up what was discussed, with bootlegged audio grabs to prove we weren't making up bulls**t.
Big thank you to Michael "Mr Golf-A-Matic" Hirsh and Santo Cilauro for the quick chat.
