In 2023 Patrick Gower, New Zealand’s best-known broad-appeal journalist, burst onto our Wednesday nights, and onto ThreeNow, Tiktok and Instagram, with a brand-new show in a bold new format. Not one copied from overseas, but one invented to investigate and present current affairs in a new way: recorded in front of an audience, with guest journalists, and comedy as part of the mix. Paddy enlisted universally-loved Karen O’Leary and this power duo’s new show was a hit with the audiences, the critics and at the awards.
