Bill Bailey is taking on a hosting gig for TVNZ.
The legendary comedian counts among his accolades winning the 2020 season of Strictly Come Dancing. He was last in New Zealand in 2018 and is heading back to our shores for his new comedy show En Route to Normal.
The show called Patriot Brains will see Kiwis and Aussies battle it out to prove they know the most about their own country. The losing team will be "named and shamed as the most uneducated patriots".
In a statement, Bailey said: "I am very much looking forward to hosting Patriot Brains, and a chance to referee a spirited international debate between two rival countries, which could end up as a right old ding-dong. A ding-dong which I hope to be thought-provoking, informative and hilarious."
