It’s a brand-new year, which means new questions on The Hundred with Andy Lee must be answered.
How many people have hooked up with a relative? What percentage of Aussies are siding with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle? And just what is the main reason that Australians lie?
Back for its fourth season, host Andy Lee and a bevvy of famous identities — will once again provide the stories behind the stats as three comedy panellists compete each week to see who knows Aussies best.
This year, the incomparable ICON, Sophie Monk, has joined the panel as a series regular, appearing every second week at the desk.
“I kept getting asked about when is she [Monk] back on the show from people on the street,” Lee told Chattr ahead of the premiere.
While the series will feature guests like Mike Goldstein, Ross Noble, Tommy Little and Dave Thornton, there are two guests he wishes he could host.
“For my own sake, I would probably get Tiger Woods,” the self-confessed golf nut said. “But I’m not sure how great that would be. Just me nerding out. I’d ask him how to hit different shots and how he felt when he won his first Masters.
“I’d want to do it more for the entertainment of everybody, so Prince Harry is probably the person everyone would like to hear answer my questions. And then he might also get some hard truths or some comfort from how Australians feel about him.”
What can we expect from Season Four of The Hundred?
The fourth iteration of The Hundred will feature themed episodes — including Valentine’s Day and Pride Week — which Lee said has given the cast and crew a chance to “muck around” with the colourful set.
“The set itself is really interactive and we haven’t really utilised that enough so far,” he said. “We’ve got Valentine’s Day coming up, where you’ll see the whole set change colour to crimson red. All the topics will be on theme.”
And if you’re wondering what epic fact Lee has about the loved-up day?
“It might be a bit naughty, but 2.96 billion people [around the world] will have sex on Valentine’s Day!” Wowzers! That’s a lot of people!
The drawcard of the popular series is more than just finding out about our habits, for Lee, people come back for more because of the “vanity” aspect.
“Generally, people like stories about themselves,” Lee said with a laugh.
“It’s about Australia. It’s how we feel and how we think. So essentially, we’re tapping into the vanity of every human being.”
The Hundred premieres on Tuesday, February 7 at 9.00 pm on Nine and 9Now.
