Rove: That couldn't have gone smoother really... Dylan: It was very smooth, very swift, and very slick...So where's your telly show gone ? Rove: Ah, it's been lost in that little cushion just behind the couch... Dylan: Where the whoopie cushion goes ? Rove: Yes, and the blue pens and all the 20 cent pieces... Dylan: Is it gonna come back ? Rove: It'll be back... Dylan: If you find it under the couch somewhere with a pillow... Rove: Yes, patience my pet. Patience. It'll be back, it'll be back... Dylan: Are you misng hosting, Mr Rove ? Rove: I am a little bit, although I do like coming on and playing on other peoples shows now because...I'm allowed to... Dylan: You are allowed to... Rove: I'm not stuck at any one network anymore so I can... Dylan: Would you like to ask me some questions ? Rove: Um yes...how did you dye your beard as well as your hair before when you had the little goatee ? Dylan: Well, it's a very simple process...one bleaches both ends at once... Rove: I see, I see... Dylan: You've been performing since you were a wee lad, starting out as an actor...lets in fact check you out when you were 12... Rove: Aw...you didn't get this did you ??? [An except from the Kaboodle video, "Marty Makes a Move" is shown] Rove: And yet...where's the Logie ? Dylan: You're going for the Logie for the best buns anyway aren't you ? Rove: Yeah, someone actually sent me a ceramic Logie for best bum so I've already won...I've already won... Dylan: That was from "Marty Makes a Move", that episode from "Kaboodle"..."Kaboodle", from about 1987...Do you still skate Rove ? Rove: I actually didn't really skate all that well in that to be quite honest...there was a stunt skate guy... Dylan: What? You had a stunt double? Rove: Yeah, just for when I had to stack it 'cause they said hey if you stack it like and split your whole human head open, that's it... Dylan: It's over, your acting careers gone - especially when you're wearing your hat on the outside of the helmet... Rove: How daggy was that? That was not my idea... Dylan: Was that your first major gig? Rove: It was, and here's me thinkin' here come all the rest of them now - the floodgates have opened up... Dylan: So, do you have any psychological scars from being a child star? Rove: Only that I had to film that in a place called Dwellingup in Western Australia...not that that's a bad thing in itself, but the place we filmed it in was haunted. Dylan: Oh really ? Rove: We stayed on some old school or something like that in the middle of nowhere - haunted... Dylan: Suffer... Rove: Oh was so cool it was haunted... Dylan: That's great... Rove: The scars...I wake up in the middle of the night and go "aaaaaaaaaargh Kaboodle!" Dylan: It's alright, you're a man now...will you get back into acting ? Rove: I don't think so... Dylan: Why not? Rove: Oh I don't know, I like wouldn't mind...if someone offers me a role, I'll do it... Dylan: Okay, how did you get into standup ? Rove: Oh well, because I ws doing comedy roles...as you can tell from that clip just there... Dylan: Yes, very funny, that was very funny... Rove: Very funny, unintentionally...but it was and, from that I was doing theatre in school and enjoyed doing the comedy roles more 'cause when you say something funny... Dylan: (singing) You'll be a dentist... Rove: Yes, I did a little show... Dylan: (singing) You have the talent for causing things pain... Rove: Thwack ! and then I'd punch this guy and he would spit tic tacs, looked like it was teeth... Dylan: Har! Har! Har! Rove: ...and because I was doing comedy roles, I just enjoyed doing that more and fell into doing standup through that... Dylan: Okay, so when did you become Rove and why...you wern't christened with a dogs name were you? Rove: No, I was not...I don't know....because when I left school I didn't want people who knew me from school coming and seeing me....reading my name in any comedy listings and coming and seeing me while I was still stumped... Dylan: Okay, right...so you didn't want the pre-judgement thing happening... Rove: Pretty much... Dylan: Disguise... Rove: Disguise, yes... Dylan: I can't even tell who you are, I don't even know you with that name tag on... Rove: I could be anyone... Dylan: Do you have a favourite medium to work in, like the stand up or the television ? Rove: Televisions good, but I prefer live television because when something goes wrong it's nice to sort of not treat your audience as idiots and try to smooth everything over and go oh no, no, no televisions very slick, nothing goes wrong... Dylan: We pretend to be slick, but it never works... Rove: That's beautiful... Dylan: Tell us about your latest standup show, "Live as !" Rove: "Live as !", actually it's got an exclamation mark at the end of it..."Live AS !!!" Dylan: Live AS !!! Rove: Live AS !!! Dylan: That's what the saying is... Rove: It's just basically me pissfarting around on stage for an hour and a bit... Dylan: Being funny... Rove: Well, that's the aim... Dylan: At the Melbourne Comedy Festival at the Capital in Swanson Street from March 30th to April 2nd...and your tv buddies have got gigs around as well... Rove: Yeah, yeah... Dylan: Do look out for those people as well. Does tv change you? Are you turning into a monster? Rove: It's actually, I'm hoping to take over the world....that's my grand aim, but televisions been good because it's given me more money to buy toys... Dylan: Have you got any more new toys? Rove: As a matter of fact Dylan, I do... Dylan: Oh no... Rove: Oh alright, I knew because coming on here I have to show my new stuff... Dylan: Alright, just quickly... Rove: I want to point out this one very quickly...first this is actually...someone actually made me my own ROVE action figure (the same one he showed on his show)... Dylan: That's just terrific... Rove: So, I was very happy with that... Dylan: It's a very good likeness too, it's got the perfect smile there... Rove: See, perfect...But the one main thing I wanted to show you was this...This is like the newest thing I bought....there's all these new wrestling figures you can get, right which is so cool in themselves, 'cause I'm a really big wrestling fan... Dylan: Undertaker! I've got one of them... Rove: Stone Cold...and Mankind - he's pretty cool... Dylan: I like Mankind... Rove: ...and you know everyone's got wrestling figures here...now I'm sure everyone has a ring that they can play with their wrestlers in...but how many people actually have the entrance ring for them to come in? Dylan: Aww !!! Now you are a fan of WWF... Rove: Now, each of these guys has a little metal plate on their feet so that when you put them through, it actually announces who it is...and it lights up on the front...lights up the Undertakers face, with the theme music... Dylan: That's terrific...are you hungry ? Rove: Yes I am... Dylan: We've got some food for you because it's suppertime...but first may I thank you so very very much for joining us on the slot tonight and showing us your toys, Mr Rove Mc Manus...
