Channel 10 releases new promo for Thank God You’re Here – the improvisational comedy returns after a 14-year hiatus
Network 10 released a new trailer for Thank God You’re Here on Tuesday.
The promo promised a fresh take on the “cult classic” with a new blue door, new special guests and new host Celia Pacquola.
After a 14-year hiatus, the improvisational comedy once hosted by Shane Bourne is back on its original channel.
The sneak peek showed a stripped down film studio as Celia, 40, entered the set as a voiceover announced: “The funniest show ever seen on Australian television became a cult classic.”
“This hit Australian TV show was very popular…” the voice continued when Celia cut him off.

“Yes, I think we get it Boomer from Mr. Big Quotes,” she said as a blue door appeared behind her.
The voice went on to announce the return of the Network Ten series, promising that only the “funniest and most fearless comedians” would walk through the blue door.

Just as she opened the door a second time, once the comedians walked through the blue door, the voiceover said, “You’ll be forced to force your way through the door.”
“Can we say that?” Celia promptly quipped.

“It was one of the most talked about shows on Australian television and was responsible for launching and celebrating a wealth of intelligent, vivacious and hilarious Australian talent.”
