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, an iconic sketch comedy show that aired on TVNZ for seven years, and was reprised for a season in 1997. Co-written with the late A. K. Grant, the show featured spoofs and impersonations of key public figures, including McPhail's hilarious caricature of then Prime Minister Sir Robert "Piggy" Muldoon.
