ROVE NINEMSN CHAT

Stella_9ms: Welcome...how does it feel to be amongst your greatest fans on the net?

Rove: Rove here! Good. Very good. Glad to have you all here. Lets break a record out there kids :)

Stella_9ms: I think we have already, so I better start feeding you guys the questions...Messner says: question for Rove "what is your name?"

Rove : Rove Mc Manus

Stella_9ms: Pulsator says: Question - where did Rove go to school? He's kinda weird.

Rove: I went to primary school in Orana and Corpor Christie High School in Perth, so I'm a private school wanker.

Stella_9ms: daves_missus says: Who votes Dave the sexiest man alive?

Dave: Thank you very much but you're a bit sad. But lovely yourself.

Stella_9ms: Tweety says: Rove, is there any chance of the show getting an earlier time slot?

Rove: We'll see out the end of the year and take it from there. No plans as yet.

Stella_9ms: Unfrufu says: Rove, does it bug you with all the comparisons to Darryl, I always thought that you were taller, and funnier.

Rove: I'd rather be the first Rove Mc Manus than the next anybody else.

Peter wants to be the 3rd Julia Roberts.

Stella_9ms: Abby says, how did the cast get together?

Corinne: An orgy.

Pete: During a blue light disco, Mc Hammers "You can't touch this" and there was magic from there.

Stella_9ms: Unfrufru says: Rove or Dave, did either of you slip the tongue in last weeks show, if not did you at least rehearse a lot?

Dave: It was totally spontaneous. I just seized the moment.

Rove: He wouldn't let me as much as I tried.

Pete: I like to watch.

Stella_9ms: Schae says: Is Kynan likely to have a more on screen role in the future?

Kynan: Yes, but possibly played by someone else.

Rove: Who's Kynan?

Stella_9ms: Unfrufu says: Rove, when you went to Fox studios, did you live or die a terrible leo-esque death on the Titanic experience?

Rove: I died much like I do on the show every week.

Stella_9ms: Sailor Dancer says: I have a question for Corinne...do you feel you're the Julie Mc Crossin of Rove?

Corinne: That's a huge compliment. I love Julie, but Rove's nowhere near as good looking as Paul Mc Dermott.

Rove: I agree.

Stella_9ms: Hoshi says: How does the whole crew feel about going from comedians to "personalities" in such a short time?

Pete: It's always been on the cards, and if we can emulate the work of the great Samazans and Papps and Codman...

Stella_9ms: Flick says: When is Rove going to get a visit from "This is your Life"?

Rove: Hang on a second, I'll ask Ray Martin.

Ray Martin: Mike Munroe will be in tomorrow.

Rove: I have no life, so it's kind of irrelevant.

Stella_9msn: Unfrufu says: Dave, where do you get your ideas for words that soun better when you say them?

Dave: Well, people send them in. But they're just words I've always liked.

Stella_9ms: Rove, where is the best place in Perth to start stand-up comedy?

Pete: Melbourne.

Rove: I wouldn't know, I haven't been there in a while, but while I was there, it was Pockets Nightclub. Ask Clayton Steele.

Stella_9ms: Hoshi says:qn for Dave - would you ever shave your entire head? hehehe

Dave: 25 Virgo

Corinne: 42 Piranna

Pete: 24 Something funny to rival Corinne.

Stella_ninems: Sunline says: Hey Peter, did you grow up in Melbourne, if so where did you get your first break in comedy?

Pete: I grew up in Melbourne. My first experience was at the Espy in St Kilda, and my first break was with Russo on tv.

Stella_9ms: Kotter says: Rove, why are you denying your true Perth heritage?

Rove: I'm not!

Rove: I grew up in Willetton and I'm damn proud if you smell what the Rove is cooking!

Pete: Rove is currently wearing a Freemantle jumper, drinking Swan lager, and kissing a quokka.

Dave: I also am from WA but indeed : I love Rolf Harris don't you know.

Stella_9ms: Unfrufu says: Rove, did Ray's hair bite back when you touched it, or was it sedated?

Rove: I can get Ray Martin to answer that ?

Stella_9ms: Sure!

Ray Martin: Yes, the evidence is in the hand, the hair savaged the hand.

Corinne: It's a mini series coming up soon called "It's a savage hand".

Stella_9ms: Thanks Ray. Pulsator says: Q for Rove - I have two huge blisters on my feet. How can I fix them?

Pete: Not yet.

Stella_9ms: Pulsator says: Q for Rove - when will Dave O'Neil be on the show. Isn't he contractually oblidged to appear in every Aus. comedy?

Rove: I'm sorry, Pete couldn't think of anything funnier.

Pete: Rove's a smart arse.

Stella_9ms: Woolongong_Quokka says: Well as a question for Rove, how's he found the change from Channel 31 to Nine?

Corinne: Dave Callan is Dave O'Neil with a beard.

Rove: It's nice to now have a show that actually has a budget.

Stella_9ms: Mick says: Rove, where do you get ideas for those little skit things?

Dave: An ideas factory in Finland. We pay them $5 for them.

Corinne: We're the first tv show to have talking monkeys and we just transcribe everything they say.

Rove: Damn. Now they know our secrets.

Stella_9msn: Callan says: Top job Dave and Pete, worst acting I've seen snce Titanic.

Corinne: Which one was Kate Winslet?

Pete: Does that include Billy Zane?

Stella_9ms: Spaz says: Will this help us to get actors equity membership?

Pete: To avoid this question, I'll answer another one. The answer is Belgium.

Rove: Don't we have some kind of screening process?

Stella_9ms: Unfrufu says: If Rove becomes the new Darryl, does Peter become Ozzie and Dave become Dicky Knee, which would make Corinne Ding Dong?

Rove: God I hope so, I have rent to pay.

Stella_9ms: Lovechops says: I wonder if Rove even bothers to read his little lap top on his desk?
