The unofficial verdict is in for season five of Thank God You’re Here Australia 2023, and it’s all praise from Twitter (X?!) users.
After a 14-year hiatus, the fan hysteria over the hit show proved to be still going strong.
X users consistently posted about TGYH throughout the entirety of its return last night and almost all of the feedback was positive.
In fact, they couldn’t get enough of Celia Pacquola’s debut on the show and were just generally buzzing about its long-awaited return as a whole.
To celebrate the return of the Logie award-winning improvised comedy show, we’ve popped together some of the best tweets.
Who’s hosting Thank God You’re Here Australia?
Pacquola has taken over from Shane Bourne who hosted TGYH from 2006 – 2009 when it was on Network Seven. The show has moved to Network Ten and Pacquola recently spoke about how excited she is to be the new host.
“When I was asked if I’d be interested in hosting the reboot I was completely thrilled,” she told 10 Play. “One, because I was delighted that the show was coming back, I was a huge fan back in the day and it’s such a wonderful format, great entertainment and also an excellent platform for comedians and performers to do their thing.
“And two, I was thrilled because I was so relieved they’d asked me to host rather than go through the blue door myself,” she added.
In the lead-up to the first episode, Pacquola spoke about her favourite ever guests of the show, and one of the names she mentioned actually appeared in the premiere episode for 2023.
“I have a soft spot for Tony Martin as a SWAT team leader, Julia Zemiro as a cattle station widow and Peter Rowsthorn as a captured superhero,” she said. “But there are many more! Rebel Wilson also smashed it out of the park every time she was on.”
Thank God You’re Here airs weekly on Wednesdays on Network 10 and 10Play.
