Surprised no other Aussie has mentioned this one. By "Aussie" I mean, of course, Stephen Bain, who falls into the core demographic and almost certainly watches the programme.
/The Chaser's War on Everything/ last Wednesday/Friday included a press conference with Jimmy Wales, who quite possibly didn't even know who they were. Pretty standard: "There are now 1.7m articles on English Wikipedia. How did you manage to write them all?" and "How do you feel about the fact that I changed your article this morning to [something, I forget what]?" However, /Chaser/ is always worth watching. I thought Jimbo reacted quite well to the /Chaser/'s lad, too. His answer to the articles question: "A lot of coffee."
Also on Friday's episode: the ghost of Mark Latham; dressing up as a baby to avoid paying zoo admissions; a parody of "Grease Lightning" about petrol-guzzling SUVs; "three minute massages" (and dental work, gynaecology, proctology, and terrorism) in pubs; taking photos of tourists in the style of camera advertisements; the wonder of Fox News; human statues with Parkinson's Disease (that one's a bit sick); standing up for Snoop Dogg at DIMIA; making yourself at home in newsagents; testing the reality of ads.
