Most Unnecessarily Over-Exposed Comedian

Bit of an odd one this one, because if there's one thing we don't associate with comedians in this country it's publicity. But that's mostly because comedians in this country tend to work either on radio or on the government broadcasters - so it's hardly surprising then that all the nominees for this hype-crazed award appear on your promo connection Channel Ten, and two of the three are lynchpins on Ten's "too important to fail" 7PM Project.

"Not only can he talk about stuff on Nova, but he can then talk about it on The 7pm Project that night, and then the next day on Nova talk about how he talked about it on The 7PM Project last night! That's called working smarter, not harder."

Dave Hughes: Could even the man's biggest fans say with a straight face that his brand of comedy is so superior to anyone else's that he needs to not only have a three hour breakfast radio show every day but then must also appear for half-an-hour on our televisions each night? What possible insights could he have left to share, apart from the fact that he often "loses it", and that the combination of those dead pinhole eyes and his gurning face often startles a laugh-like gasp out of the unsuspecting and ill-prepared?

After being axed from Triple J drive all those years ago - well, the show was axed, his co-host seemed to hang onto her job for a few more years - Charlie Pickering has worked hard, put in the hours, and built his career back up to the comedy juggernaut it is today. And to think, just over a year ago he was doing The Mansion on Pay TV. Whatever happened to his best buddy "Chambo"? Has he ever appeared on The 7PM Project? Oh well, it's a long way to the top when you have to make sure you laugh loudest and longest at all of Shaun Micallef's jokes to ensure they cut to you on the Talkin' 'bout Your Generation promos every week.

Josh Thomas is young! He's got crazy hair! He's got a made-up accent! He seems kind of clueless about the world around him! Yeah! Yeah! YEAH! YEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHH! OOOHHHH YYYEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! Energy is all it takes and that's the difference Milo makes.
