    awesome show

    this was such a cool show i only remember watching it in the 90's though since i was born in 1989. I felt that as the years progressed it became funnier and funnier. The best part about the show was the spontaneity of it and the ability to appeal to all ages. Russell Gilbert and Plucka Duck were my favorite and if i recall Russell even had a spin off show which was just as hilarious. Anyway this show will be forever missed hopefully it will be on DVD soon. Segments such as Red Faces, celebrity heads, funny fotos and plucka duck were awesome. Great show too bad it was cancelled hopefully another show will be created soon similar to this.

    I like the bits where they made homophobic remarks in relation to Ian Molly Meldrum. I also like the bits where they thought they were being really funny but actually weren't. Great inspiration for the footy show in that respect. Thanks for the tip Graham.

    The most unique show in history

    I've watched this show from the beginning and my kids, too, have joined the ranks of intrepid fans. I am extremely disappointed to see it end on Nov 20th 1999 after 28 fantastic years! Hey Hey It's Saturday will always live on as the most unique show in history & Daryl Somers & all the gang will go down in history as the most wonderful bunch of guys to ever grace our screens. Saturday nights will be empty now. The sun has set.

    Hey Hey, thankgod its gone forever!

    This show was terrible its its final years. Daryl Somers refused to change the format of the show (like the bosses/fans kept telling him he should) and so it got axed (yet he was still suprised).

    Whenever a side kick would get more popular then Daryl he would kick them off the show. He did this to Denise Drysdale because she was simply to funny, so anyhow he then decided to put blonde bimbos as his co-hosts on the show instead (they were really REALLY dim)

    I will give the show credit for unveiling alot of talent on its RED faces segemnt (this was a segment EXACTLY the same as The Gong Show from America)but beyond that it was pathetic.

    Actually the show was mentioned to Jay Leno once and he said " what a stupid name for a show, whats next run run its Monday. LOL This was actually show to Daryl during the show and he obviously wasnt expecting it by the look on his face. He was talking up Leno beforehand saying what a great guys he was and all this. You should have seen the look on his face what a classic!

    Twenty seven and half years and still going strong, and it get stronger and stronger and stronger and stronger ............and stronger.

    For those of you who are like me, I am addicted to Hey Hey It's Saturday. I watch the show religiously every Saturday night. I will do anything on a Saturday night until after 8:30pm. My favorite segments includes Red Faces, The Nixon Tapes, Plucka Duck and Celebrity Head. For those people who are involved in putting this brilliant show together congratulations and please please please keep up the good work. Hoping the show will continue for many many years to come it's fantastic.
