Season 7 2006

It was a very different Rove Live that returned for 2006 on Valentine's Day. After kicking off with a big song and dance number, the show featured a new set, new segments, new gags, and for the first time an in-house band that provided musical stings on either side of the ad breaks. Guests included Pamela Anderson, Merrick and Rosso, Biggest Loser trainers Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper, The Backstreet Boys, Bodyjar (as the house band) and The Living End to close the program. Plus, Rove went Roving With Rove to ask some kids about love, and we saw the debut of "I Want my Stuff Back", in which Rove helped a man get his camera back from his sister who borrowed it two years ago.

This show was action packed with your Hollywood favourites, Harrison Ford, Jesse Metcalfe and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. The Casanovas were in the studio and The Rogue Traders ended the show with their hit single "Watching You". The show would have been nothing without the old favourite "What The...?" There was also the part "I Want My Stuff Back" which is always hilarious to watch. Rove and Pete also launched a new segment, "Hang up/Don't Hang up". And for the first time we met Carrie Bickmore at the news desk, giving us the latest "headlines".

Rove chats with Lord of the Rings star Viggo Mortensen and actor-turned-designer Priscilla Presley. Adam Rozenbachs was the guest comedian and music came courtesy of Kisschasy and End of Fashion.

Carrie at the news desk returned, as did Ron, providing his picks for the Oscars. Rove also debuted a new segment, "Tipayatung", in which Pete, guest Julia Zemiro and an audience member competed in a complete-the-phrase style quiz.

And after getting some suggestions from the audience about the worst things to have on a pizza, Rove and Pete crossed to a nearby Domino's to order the worst pizza they could think of, which Pete named the "Rove Live Ringburner" (after the effects it would no doubt have on anyone who ate it).

Broadcast live from the home of Don, a viewer in Sydney, this episode featured Sir Richard Branson, Merrick & Rosso, Steve Corica and Mark Rudan from Sydney FC, another Ron's Review, and Shannon Noll performing live. Rove also did a live cross to Hollywood for an interview with up-and-coming film star "Les Harris" (played by Pete), and Carrie once again joined us from the news desk.

Plus, a special live version of I Want My Stuff Back, more headlines with Carrie Bickmore, and Rove hits the streets to see what the perks are of running in the Queen's Baton Relay! Finally, we saw the debut of the Helpdesk, where Rove, Pete, Julia Morris, and Adam Richards answer questions sent in to them (which quickly descended into a five-minute fart joke!).
