This blog is operated by Daniel Smith, the host of "Last Night Tonight" on QCTV. The aim of the show is to do what hasn't been done before, so making a quality Australian late night talk show was the only option.

“Back in black, I hit the sack” … what?!

Ok, with show numero uno well and truly done and dusted, welcome to the prep for show 2 of “Last Night Tonight”.

But first, a recap.

I hope you all enjoyed the first ep of complete nonsense and fly by the seat of your pants TV. On Tuesday morning I got the email from Judith Lucy’s people that she would not be making it to the LNT studios on account of a growing sickness that they wouldn’t confirm or deny to be swine flu. Keep in mind, we shoot on Wednesday night. Eleventh hour in all it’s glory, it sure was. So after a mad rush to find a suitable replacement at the 12th hour, we decided to have an old guest of ‘Daniel Smith 180’ (my previous QCTV show) Lachlan Howe to do his thing as Judith Lucy and I’m sure you’ll agree he made up for it.

The opening ‘kiss’ intro had to be shot twice. It. was. AWESOME! I pushed for a third take but apparently “we got it”. Whatevs.

The show was shot in this order, if you could tell. Rossi - Judith - Opener. It was a madhouse at the LNT studios for the first ever LIVE shoot, but the good news is that we have absolutely no cobwebs left and are back in black THIS THURSDAY @ 8 WITH SPECIAL GUEST REGGIE WATTS!

See you then audience!

-Dan.

Boy it’s gettin’ hot, yes indeed it is.

Ahhhhh.. it’s now at that point that I’ve had SO much to do in prep for the first show, that now that I have everything taken care of, I can’t shake this feeling that I have something that needs to be done, that I’ve now gotten used to.

Does that even make sense?

I trust you know what I mean. You, the blog reading community.

Tonight I included a joke in my opening “Joke Parade” that I think is good and smart and all that, but I’m not so sure many people will get it. I guess people not getting my jokes is nothing new, so why me worry? But see if you can guess which one it is. I’ll probably make some mention of it once it’s received with grave, grave silence.

Woop woop. Show tapes LIVE in T-minus 17 hours. T minus. What the eef is that anyway?

See you all THURSDAY NIGHT AT 8 on QCTV. Show will be online, website address yet T.B.A

My cpu screen is dirty, so I’m going to clean it, then brush my teeth, and TRY and get some sleep for tmw.

What are you doing?

Geez I need sleep, can you tell?

I think you can tell by how many questions I’m asking no-one.

Agreed?

I like that everyone knows what I had for dinner. That was probably the whole idea behind the internet.

40 hours…

… is long enough to be awake for.

So I’m finally retiring to dreamland, as I interview JUDITH LUCY for the first ep of LNT in about 13 hours.
