Ice TV - Best of
Television (Full Length Episode) – 1998
Ice TV was a popular 1990s youth show hosted by Petra Bagust, Jon Bridges and Nathan Rarere. This 1998 'best of' includes a 20/20 satire (a world's biggest bonsai trees scam); Bagust meets singer and actor Meatloaf; Bridges meets brother band Hanson, visits the man who 'names cyclones', and goes to Outward Bound; Rarere samples Elvis's deep fried peanut butter and bacon sandwich. Plus the trio visit the zoo and gym to discover why humans are the "sexiest primates alive". Rarere also gives a valuable lesson in flirtatious eye contact. Included is the show's trademark sign-off: L&P bottles subjected to various stresses.
It was one of the first times when you could actually give a camera to the talent, and they could film something. Before that the technology wasn't up to it. So we would run around with these cameras, film stuff ourselves, and with a little bit of hesitation and mistrust from the powers that be at the network and the editors ... we'd ended up putting that stuff on TV.– Ice TV presenter Jon Bridges, in an interview for 2019 TV series Funny As: The Story of New Zealand Comedy
