''Micallef Tonight'' was a short-lived variety show that aired on the Nine Network in 2003. It was hosted by Shaun Micallef and also featured the talents of Jason Geary, Francis Greenslade and Livinia Nixon. Much like a typical variety show, each episode of ''Micallef Tonight'' featured a number of interviews with celebrities bookended by regular segments (such as "Shaun on his High Horse", Micallef ranting against pop culture while literally straddling a fake horse) and a musical performance. However at the times the show almost delved into the realm of parody, such as introducing guest Jamie Durie with a long-winded opening only to dissmiss him immediately afterwards. Other in-show shenanigans included stealing Delta Goodrem's shoes as she played the piano, deliberately leaving actress Melissa George, live via satellite from Hollywood, on hold for over five minutes, and requesting singer David Campbell insert the word "lamington" into his performance to prove that he was not lip-syncing to the music. Micallef would end each episode with the line "See you in the Monkey House Australia!". Ironically Micallef previously parodied the variety show format with 1998's ''The Micallef Program''. The show was cancelled in mid-2003 because of dwindling ratings against Andrew Denton's interview series ''Enough Rope''. Critics also claimed that the show may have been too sophisticated for most audiences and was an acquired taste. == See also == List of Australian television series == External link == *[http://www.shaunmicallef.com/episodes/mteps.html Episode guides of ''Micallef Tonight''] Australian television series
