The Roast was a flagship Australian satirical news show that screened on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) television channel ABC2. The daily ten-minute show was hosted by Tom Glasson and featured Mark Humphries, Clarke Richards, Alex Lee, Jazz Twemlow and Nich Richardson.[1]
The Roast began life online as a one-minute, news headlines show in 2011. It expanded to a two-minute series in 2012 which also screened on ABC2. From 8 April 2013, it began screening on ABC2 in a regular timeslot at 7.30pm weeknights as a 10-minute program.[2] It was then renewed for another season in 2014, again as a 10-minute daily show, with the addition of ABC News 24 presenter Alex Lee, replacing Rachel Corbett.
On 4 November 2014, David Knox of TV Tonight reported that The Roast had been axed and would not return in 2015.[3]
On 29 December 2014, the Australian online wing of the British national daily newspaper, The Guardian presented an exclusive end of year wrap-up episode of The Roast[4] hosted by Mark Humphries. The collaboration with the publication was extended with the announcement on 18 March 2015 of a limited run return of the series.[5]
