 Synopsis

After turning "Jeez Wayne" into a national catchphrase with the sketch show A Week of It, comedy duo David McPhail and Jon Gadsby continued their dream run with McPhail & Gadsby, a sketch comedy show that aired on TVNZ for seven years, and was reprised for a season in 1997. Co-written with the late AK Grant, the show featured political satire, spoofs and impersonations of key public figures, including McPhail's famous caricature of then-Prime Minister Sir Robert "Piggy" Muldoon.
