What Now? - 25th Birthday Celebration

Television (Excerpts) – 2006

In 2006, TVNZ’s long running children’s show celebrated 25 years on air — and Christmas — with a “Merry Birthday” special. In these excerpts, current presenters (including Tamati Coffey) are joined by a cavalcade of former hosts including Jason Fa’afoi, Carolyn Taylor, Props Boy, Shavaughn Ruakere and original anchor Steve Parr (with the same moustache a quarter of a century later). The emphasis is firmly on studio ordeal with guests gunked, foamed and asked to drink the undrinkable; and then there’s the raw fish — a step too far for at least one of them.

Calling on Carolyn, Props Boy and Farty, Bring something special and come to the party, Bippity, boppity, burpity, bum, Appear now before us in 3... 2... 1...
