The Chaser blokes’ latest cunning stunt was to only send three members to our photo shoot!
The Chaser turns 10 this year. How will you be celebrating?
Chris: Splitting up.
Chas: I hope to stay as far away from them as possible.
You guys — always joking! What are you working on now?
Chris: The creators of
The Wire approached me about turning
Red Faces into a 13-part drama series for HBO.
Julian: We’re working on coming up with a new idea. I’d schedule about six months for that. We’re trying to develop something internally and then sell it.
Andrew: To the porn channel.
How did you feel during the APEC stunt?
Chas: I felt confused. I wasn’t really paying attention during the security briefing because I just assumed they’d turn us away. When they let us through, I was frantically trying to piece together the murky remnants of what they told us to do and not to do. I had no idea what was going on. If you look at the video, I’ve got a really blank face. I was just totally confused.
What’s the most s_t you’ve been in that we don’t know about?
Chas: Pokies were replacing bands in pubs, so we did a sketch where pokies replaced buskers. There was one guy and we moved him on, then, afterwards we said, “OK, this is just for a TV show. It’s just a joke.” He flipped out big time, pulled a six-inch Swiss Army knife out and held it to my throat, hostage-style. And he was saying, “You think this is funny? Are you having a good laugh?” Guess we picked on the wrong busker. It never made it to air because the cameraman dropped the camera, in an attempt to save me. Big mistake, because it was great TV.
When we interviewed the Bra Boys about the prank you pulled on them in 2007, Koby said, “I would love to punch them in the face. You can’t deny they’re f–kin’ hilarious, but.”
Craig: Isn’t it good how somebody can like you and still want to punch you in the face? We also had Guy Sebastian wanting to punch us in the face because of the “Make a Wish” sketch. I don’t know who we’re more scared of.
Chas, is Rove a better kisser than a comedian?
Chas: There’s a lot of room left for him to be a good comedian because he’s a f–king good kisser. I still can’t feel the back of my throat. I feel very used by Rove because he hasn’t written or called. I think he just used me for my saliva.
